If unsure look at examples e.g. an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.grove\/events\/deserters-conchies-and-mutineers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Event with several separate speakers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Excerpt<\/strong> \u2013 You can enter a brief description of the event here and it will appear in the Event Series programme table. If this is left blank, a truncated version of the first few lines of content will be used; however, in certain circumstances, this will not reflect the event, especially if it contains more than one talk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start Date<\/strong> \u2013 IMPORTANT! This is required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start Time<\/strong> \u2013 IMPORTANT! This MUST be 24hr clock, either 19:30 or 1930. This is not absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>End Date<\/strong> \u2013 If different from the Start Date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>End Time<\/strong> \u2013 You can enter this if you have one. IMPORTANT! This MUST be 24hr clock, either 19:30 or 1930.<\/p>\n<p>**** Note that if the event lasts several days, and at the same time each day (e.g. and exhibition), enter a start date, start time, end date and end time. If the times are different each day, enter the dates and leave the times blank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price<\/strong> \u2013 Enter any text with currency units e.g. \u201cDonation, \u00a34\/3 or \u00a34 but no one refused due to lack of funds\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong> \u2013 Enter the location within a venue where the event is taking place: e.g. Room 1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subset<\/strong> \u2013 This can be used to split the event programme table on the Event Series page. Enter the subset to which you want this event to belong to; e.g. Day 1, Exhibitions, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connected Contributors<\/strong> \u2013 Click \u2018Create connections\u2019, you can then start typing the name in \u2018Search Posts\u2019. When you see the name you want to click on it to add it to the Event. If you do not see the name, i.e. they are a new Contributor, click on \u2018New Post\u2019 and add the name (first name then surname, no commas). Note: when you add a new Contributor they are added as a Draft post and after you finish editing the Event you must go to Contributors and Publish the new Contributor; however, you can leave the details of the Contributor blank if you want but adding a short bio (may be copied and pasted from the Event itself) is more desirable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connected Venues<\/strong> \u2013 Similar to Connected Contributors; however, only bother adding a new Venue if it is likely to host more than one event. If you do create a new Venue please do not leave its details blank when you publish it (if unsure have a look at another Venue).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Event Series<\/strong> \u2013 Similar to Contributors. You can add more than one series to an Event. Note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If this belongs to a new Event Series that has not been listed, create the series first before you start adding the events.<\/li>\n<li>If it is one of our events but does not belong to a specific series it is \u2018Miscellaneous 2017\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>If it is not our event leave this blank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Yoast SEO<\/strong> \u2013 Only bother to use this if you want to force Facebook and Twitter to use a particular picture when a link to this Event is added, you can ignore everything else. On the left click on the 2nd icon down, then use \u2018Upload Image\u2019 to Select a picture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Items<\/strong> \u2013 This is currently broken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Filter Options<\/strong> \u2013 Leave this unless you are desperate to stop this appearing in the New Feed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other People\u2019s Events<\/strong> \u2013 Use this to tag an Event as being organised by someone other than us (or us in collaboration with other people). If \u2018Someone Else\u2019s Even\u2019 is selected a bit of text disowning the Event is added to the listing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong> \u2013 Select one or more categories that the Event fits into. Note that these categories are called \u2018Subjects\u2019 when viewing the front end. PLEASE DO NOT ADD ANY NEW CATEGORIES.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tags<\/strong> \u2013 Add a few keywords. You can add new ones as you see fit. They should be used to relate content on the site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image<\/strong> \u2013 You can ignore this for Events because they use the Event Series poster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Link Projects<\/strong> \u2013 If this Event should be listed under one or more of the Projects tick the appropriate boxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publish<\/strong> \u2013 You can \u2018Save Draft\u2019 to save the edits you have made without the Event \u2018going live\u2019. Otherwise Publish and be damned.<\/p>\n<h2>Classes<\/h2>\n<p>pic-border &#8211; &lt;img&gt; &#8211; add a light grey border around pictures which bleed to white.<\/p>\n<p>pic-full-height &#8211; &lt;img&gt; &#8211;\u00a0 make a picture no larger than the height of the window it is being viewed in.<\/p>\n<p>q-list &#8211; &lt;ul&gt; &#8211; turn a list into a &#8216;q list&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h2>Shortcodes<\/h2>\n<p><strong><code><\/code><\/strong><\/p>\n<section id='full-programme' class='event-prog'>\n<h2 class='event-prog__title'><\/h2>\n<p>             &#8211; a wrapper for the events list tables.
