Creating Venues

Before you can add a show to ArtistPress, you will need to add at least one venue. All of the venues that are added with ArtistPress will be included in a dropdown list to choose from when creating a ArtistPress Show. In order for a venue to be available in the show selection, it must be created in your website.

  2. ArtistPress from the menu
  3. Select venues from the submenu
  4. On the page that lists the venues, click the Add New button
  5. Enter the venue name in the title field
