Create events and add a listing

Dirigible Events gives you an Events post type and blocks to list or feature them. Requires the Dirigible Events plugin. Selling tickets is separate — see Sell tickets for an event.

Create an event

  1. Go to Events → Add New Event.
  2. Enter a title and write the event description in the editor.
  3. Open the Event Information document panel and set:
    • Starts and Ends
    • Optional recurrence: Recurring Event, Repeat, Repeat Ends
    • Location, Venue, address fields, Phone, Email Address
    • Website URL / Website Title, Map Embed, Video URL as needed
  4. Assign Categories and Tags when you use them for filters.
  5. Set a featured image if the layout shows one.
  6. Click Publish.

New events often include a Single Event block in the content template. Select it to adjust Event Layout (Layout, Title Style, Show Excerpt, Show Time, Background, and related options).

List events on a page

Events do not rely on a built-in public archive alone — place a block on a page:

  1. Edit the page where the list should appear.
  2. Insert the Events block (or Events Calendar / Event Countdown when those fit better).
  3. In the Events sidebar under Content, choose Display (for example Default (Ongoing & Future), Past, or All), categories, Limit Events, and Events To Show.
  4. Under Appearance, set Display As (List, Cards, or Mini), Columns, title/date styles, image options, excerpt, and link settings.
  5. Publish the page.

Tips

  • Keep start and end times accurate — listings and calendars read those fields.
  • Use categories so page listings can filter a subset of events.
  • For a single featured event elsewhere on the site, insert Single Event and point it at that event when the block asks for one.
