How to Create an Event

Posted by Steve in Site Meta via Web

Every event requires three things:

- A **Promoter**

- A **Venue**

- An **Event Template**


These components form the foundation of your event listings — and the best part is that they’re reusable for your future events.

---

## Promoter

A **Promoter** is the person or business organising the event.
This is separate from your login account because one person may want to create multiple promoter profiles — for example, to manage different types of events or brands.

Examples of promoter profiles can be seen [here](https://www.londonfetishscene.com/posts/profile/promoter).

---

## Venue

A **Venue** is the location where the event takes place.
All venues are considered *public*, meaning once you create one it becomes available for all event organisers to use in their listings.

Before creating a new venue post, please check whether a suitable venue already exists to avoid duplicates.

You can browse existing venues [here](https://www.londonfetishscene.com/posts/venue).

## Event Template

An **Event Template** contains the general, non–date-specific information about your event.
This makes recurring events simple to manage — you won’t need to re-enter the same details each time.
The template is attached directly below your event instance when displayed.

---

## Event Instance

The **Event Instance** is the date-specific part of your event.
Behind the scenes, this is stored as an `event_instance` post type.

Each event instance includes:

- A descriptive title

- The event date and start time

- Cost and dress code

- A short description introducing that specific date

### Event Structure Overview

To make it clearer, here’s how everything connects:

## Full Event Display

Once your event is created, you’ll be taken to its display page.

Each full event listing includes:

- The **Event Instance** (date-specific details)

- The **About Section** (Event Template)

- The **Venue Section**

- The **Promoter Details**


See a live example [here](https://www.londonfetishscene.com/post/fox-den-dine-november-2025).

## Editing an Event

- **Venues** cannot be edited because they’re shared across organisers. Create a new venue if you need changes.

- **Post titles** cannot be changed once created.

- For other updates, if you have permission, you’ll see an **(edit)** link next to the title of each page.

- To edit the Promoter or Event Template, open their individual post pages rather than the main event page.
