Location – Add New Location

Add New Location is located under My Calendar > Add New Location.

Add your new location and fill in the information you need. Most fields are optional. If you think this location is the one you’ll want to use most of the time, you can set it as your Default Location to set it as your location for new events automatically.

Name of Location

Add a name of the location. This is the primary indicator used to identify locations in the admin or in most dropdowns, so make it recognizable.

Location Address

Address where the event will be held. Most fields are self explanatory, but the ‘Region’ field is a non-standard descriptor that can be used for less common scenarios. An example would be using to identify neighborhoods. You can then set your filters to allow selection by neighborhood.

Initial Zoom – when using a Google map one can set the initial zoom level.
GPS Coordinates – Set the latitude and longitude of the location. Auto-generated when there’s sufficient address information and a Google Maps API is saved.

Location Contact Information

Phone – A primary phone number to reach the venue.
Secondary Phone – A secondary phone number, if needed.
Location URL – If the venue has their own website.

Location Accessibility

Click the checkboxes for the location’s accessibility features. This information will also be seen on the front end single event view.

Custom Fields

If you add custom fields to a location, they’ll appear here. The core plugin adds one custom location field: the Map Display Type. This sets what type of context is set for the map: Roadmap, Satellite, Hybrid, etc.
