How to Create an Events Page for Your Music Gigs with Elementor
Introduction
Promoting your music gigs effectively is crucial for building a strong fan base and ensuring a great turnout at your shows. While social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram can help spread the word, they come with limitations. Social media algorithms often restrict organic reach, event details can quickly get lost in the feed, and users may struggle to find past events. Having a dedicated events page on your website gives you full control over how your events are displayed, organized, and promoted.
With Musician’s Pack for Elementor, you can create a professional-looking events page in just a few steps, without any coding. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up an events page, adding event details, and showcasing them with dynamic Elementor widgets.
Step 1: Set Up the Events Structure in WordPress
Before you can display events on your website, you need a structured way to store them. Musician’s Pack for Elementor includes a Custom Post Type (CPT) for Events, which allows you to easily manage and display your upcoming and past gigs.
How to Add an Event:
Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard.
Click on Events > Add New.
Enter the event title, date, and time.
Add a venue name and location.
Include a description to provide more details about the event.
Optionally, add:
Links to event pages on social media (e.g., Facebook, Eventbrite, or ticketing platforms).
A promo video link (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo) to showcase a teaser of the event.
Ticket purchase links to direct fans to external ticketing platforms.
Click Publish to save the event.
Step 2: Customize the Events Page Layout with Elementor
Now that your events are added, it’s time to create a visually appealing Events Page where they will be displayed.
How to Design the Events Page:
Go to Pages > Add New and name it “Events”.
Click Edit with Elementor.
Use an Events Template from Musician’s Pack to speed up the design process.
Customize the page with additional Elementor widgets for an engaging layout.
Save and publish the page.
Step 3: Add Events Display Widgets
Musician’s Pack provides dedicated Elementor widgets for showcasing events dynamically. These widgets allow you to display events in different styles and sort them easily.
Available Events Widgets:
Events List Widget – Displays upcoming gigs in a structured list format.
Events Cards Widget – Showcases events in a visually engaging card layout.
Countdown Timer Widget – Creates urgency by displaying a countdown to the next event.
Sorting Options:
From the widget settings, you can choose to filter events based on:
Upcoming Events – Displays only future events.
Past Events – Shows previous gigs (useful for an archive).
All Events – Lists both past and upcoming events together.
By using these widgets, your events page stays dynamic and automatically updated as you add new gigs to your WordPress dashboard.
Conclusion
Having a dedicated Events Page on your website ensures that your fans always have access to accurate and up-to-date information about your gigs. Unlike social media, where events can get lost in the feed, a well-organized events page makes it easy for visitors to find, plan for, and purchase tickets to your shows.
With Musician’s Pack for Elementor, you can effortlessly create a professional and functional events page, keeping your audience engaged and informed.
