Cr3ativ Conference

Easily add unlimited ‘sessions’ and assign ‘speakers’ and ‘session categories’ to your WordPress site for a single conference event. The plugin will tie a session to an unlimited number of speakers, along with relevant information such as date, start and end time, location of session (conference room B etc) and assign categories (as many as you’d like) and choose if you’d like to ‘highlight’ a session via a selection box. For your convenience, the plugin also contains a directory called language files, where you will find the mo/po files you may use for translation purposes. Here is the demo.

1. Upload the cr3ativ-conference folder to your to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory or alternatively upload the cr3ativ-conference.zip via the plugin page of WordPress by clicking 'Add New' and select the zip from your local computer.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. You will see a new post type on the left of the WP admin menu ‘Conference’. Under this menu option are several sub-menus. ‘All Sessions’, ‘Add New Session’, ‘Session Category’, ‘Speakers’ and ‘Conference Options’.
4. Inside the 'cr3ativ-conference' plugin folder, there is a directory called 'templates', upload ONLY the template files from that folder into your current theme directory (as mentioned above). Do not upload the actual template folder, just the files within it!
5. Under the ‘Conference’ menu option in your WordPress admin area, you will see ‘Conference Options’. These options relate to the URL displayed in the browser address bar when you visit a Session Single page, Session Category page or Speaker Single page. By default you would receive the name of the plugin so we offer you the opportunity to name that however you wish - for example:

By not entering anything in these options would result in a URL appearing something like this: http://YourWebsite.com/cr3ativspeaker/barb-atkinson/ After entering a more read-friendly slug name (Speaker) for a speaker single page my URL now appears like this: http://YourWebsite.com/Speaker/barb-atkinson/ As an example I used the following naming conventions for the slug items in our demo: Session Single Page Slug Name - Session Session Category Page Slug Name - Session-Category Speaker Single Page Slug Name - Speaker If you have any 404 errors when trying to access your page, or if your permalinks haven’t changed, go to WordPress Admin > Settings > Permalink and re-save your permalink to reset the new url’s.
