How to Add an Event
Watch a Video: Using the Events Page>>
In the Events Page panel, click the + icon to add a new event.
In the Edit Event window, set up the event details:
- Enter the event's title.
- Click the date links to select the event's start time and end time (required). Event times are based on the time zone set in Regional Settings. The times won't change based on a visitor's time zone. Tip: To display your event times in 24-hour international standard time, check 24-Hour Time in the Style Editor.
Add a description of the event in the Description box. It includes a Text Block to get you started. Add other blocks to create a custom layout for the event, just as you can do with any page or blogpost.
Tip: To collect RSVPs or bookings for an event, add a Form Block or a block leading to a third-party booking service to the Description box. You can also add a Button Block to an external link if you use a third-party booking or event service.
Add tags and categories
You can use tags and categories to organize events. While optional, they're a great way to help visitors find events relevant to their interests. Tags and categories display as links in your Events Page. Their appearance is different for each template.
Click the Tags + or Categories + link to label your event. Formatting tips:
- Tags must be 80 characters or fewer.
- Categories must be 25 characters or fewer.
- Tags and categories are case-sensitive. For example, entering Apples, apples, and APPLEScreates three tags or categories.
To learn more, visit Adding tags and categories.
Add a thumbnail image
In the Options tab, you can add a thumbnail image to represent the event on the main Events Page.
In the Thumbnail Image box, click Add an image to add a thumbnail image, or click and drag an image file into the box. You can also click Getty Images to search the Getty library for a licensable image.
Add an excerpt
Excerpts show visitors a short description of the event. To add an event excerpt, click the Options tab and add text to the Excerpt box.
Set the event location
Click the Location tab to add an address for the event. When you start typing an address, the fields populate with a list of autocomplete suggestions powered by Google.
This creates a pin on the map at that location.
Share the event
If you have connected accounts that allow for pushing content, you can automatically share the event on your social profiles when publishing it.
From the Social tab, switch the share toggle to on for any accounts where you want to share this event.
To learn more, visit Sharing content on social media.
Note: Pushing an event to Facebook doesn't create a Facebook event. Instead, it displays a link to the event on your site with a thumbnail image and description.
Note: Use a Summary Block or Calendar Block to display events on other pages of your site. When viewing an event, clicking Back to All Events will bring visitors back to your Events Page, not the page containing the Calendar or Summary Block.
Publish or change visibility
After creating an event, you can save it as a draft, or make it live immediately.
- Click Save to save your event as a Draft that's hidden from your live site.
- Click Save & Publish to close the editor, save the event, and make it visible on your live site.
After saving the event, choose from four visibility options:
- Published
- Scheduled
- Needs Review
- Draft
Scheduled, Needs Review, and Draft can be helpful if you want to upload content to your site but don’t want to make it immediately visible. You can keep an event unpublished for other site contributors to review before it’s public or when you’re testing your page’s style.
To change any event's status, click the event thumbnail in the Events Page panel and then click Edit. From the editor, click the current status and select a new one.
If you’re leaving the event unpublished (Scheduled, Needs Review, or Draft), you’ll see a status banner over the event thumbnail in the page panel. Once it’s Published, you’ll see the thumbnail without a banner and the content appears live on your Events Page.

Banner Area
There are several ways to use the Banner area at the top of the page.
Page Banner
In a Page, Blog List, Events List, Product List, or Album page, you can create a large banner in Settings (in Site Manager). Just upload a Thumbnail Image, and add your text to the Description field.
- Bolded text will become a Headline
- Links on the last line will become Buttons
Page Banner Slideshow
If you want a large banner slideshow on Page Collections, you can place a Gallery Block at the very top of the Page, before all other blocks.
- Gallery Block must be set to slideshow mode
- As with Page Banner, putting bolded text or links in the description for each gallery slide will create Headlines and Buttons
Blog Featured Slideshow

Blog Item Banner
In a blog post’s Item View, the post’s thumbnail will automatically be placed into a banner at the top of the page, along with the post’s title and your chosen meta info.
Simple Image Banner
Don’t want a fancy header with words and buttons? Just upload a thumbnail in Page, Blog List, Events, Product List, or Album, and it will be displayed in a thin strip along the top of the page.
No Banner Area
If you don’t want to use the banner at all, simply don’t upload a thumbnail, and it will not display.
Sidebar
Hayden features sidebars that appears in several situations:
- Folder Navigation, on the left of any Page inside a Folder
- Category Navigation, on on the left any Product List with categories
- Blog Sidebar, on the right side of Blog pages
You can choose to show the title of the Folder or Product collection. If you don’t want to show the sidebars, you can choose to hide them entirely with a Style Editor option.
Index
Hayden’s Index allows you to stack multiple Pages on top of each other. Each Index Page will feature all the banner options available to other Pages in the site, including the Page Banner, Page Banner Slideshow, and Simple Image Banner options.
The Index also features a Fixed Navigation, which will appear after you scroll past the first Page in the Index. This navigation is only available while browsing an Index in Hayden.
