How to Add Venues to your Website
Where are you playing your next game?
Having a website for your sports team can improve communication efficiently. If it is well maintained, it can be your team’s to-go for all the club information they need to know.
For each event you create, you’ll want to specify a location so your teammates, staff, friends, and fans will know exactly where and when they need to be there.
So before you start adding your events, go ahead and add the venues your teams will be playing at.
And here’s how to do it.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to show teammates, staff, and fans where you will be playing your next event
- How to add a new venue
- Using Google Maps to specify a venue location
Creating a New Venue
The way we add venues is very similar to competitions and seasons. Give it a name, an optional slug, and a parent if you need to.
For venues, you could use parent groups to specify which field or court the event will be held at. Just remember to select the main venue as the parent when creating these smaller venues.
The main difference when creating venues is that we’ll need to give Venues an address so your event pages can display a map of where the actual event is taking place.
Let’s go ahead and create a venue, so I’ll call this one WordPress stadium and enter an address. If it’s not accurate enough, we can drag the pin around to give it an exact location or change the Latitude and Longitude.
Once we’ve got an accurate location, click the Add New button and we’ll now be able to select this venue whenever we create a new event.
