Manage future events as an online calendar. Display upcoming events in a dynamic calendar, on a listings page, or as a list in the sidebar. Choose one WordPress category as the ‘event’ category, and then add posts for dates in the future. Add the calendar or event list functions to your template, or just use the ‘Event Category’ page to list your forthcoming events.

Download the plugin Event calender 3.

1. Change settings

Change settings on the ‘Plugins > Event Calendar’ options screen.

You must choose which WordPress category to use for events. (Viewing the options screen for the first time also sets up the database, and upgrades events from older versions of EventCalendar.)

2. Add the Event Calendar or Upcoming Events list to your sidebar

If you use the WordPress Widgets, then the Event Calendar is available as an easy to install widget. In order to use it you must first activate the “Event Calendar Widget” plugin.

Otherwise, you need to make a small adition to your template. Add the following code to your sidebar.php:

Event Calendar:

     <li>
          <?php ec3_get_calendar(); ?>
     </li>

Upcoming Events:

     <li>Events
          <?php ec3_get_events(5); ?>
     </li>

If you are using an older template, then you should check that your HTML header contains the following tag: <?php wp_head(); ?>

3. How to add an event

Client’s Voice from Michele Rosenthal, owner of The Paris House

“Annick is the creative genius who owns A+ Web Design.  Her company usually knows what I want and am looking for before I even do and she makes it happen quickly and at very competitive affordable rates.  Annick’s patience and creativity have been crucial in taking the past 44 years of my life’s work and putting it into the most gorgeous website, blog and boutique I could have ever hoped for.  Even when she is out of the country and I have a business ‘crisis’ she is there for me, helping me immediately.  I have learned so much by working along side her over the past couple years, I value A+ Web Design’s input very much. I really don’t know how she ’sees’ into my head to know exactly what I am thinking, but she does and then makes my thoughts and dreams into a reality on my website. Thanks to Annick The Paris House Designs is a magical place where I run my creative lifestyle business.”

Client’s voice from Ken Christiaens

We were lucky to encounter Annick in our search for a budgetfriendly, but original website solution. We couldn’t afford to spend 2000+ dollars and we wanted to make up for it by keeping it as simple, effective and nice as possible. After checking her portfolio, we were surprised by the low price she offered us for the requested 6-page design. In comparison to the website suppliers we contacted in Europe, it wasn’t hard to choose which was the better option for us. Annick is unbeatable on that account.

And so we engaged on an overseas email-communication, of which we weren’t sure it would work out well since there was no direct face-to-face contact. I confess that I’m quite demanding in a creative process, but Annick was perceptive and flexible, suggesting a lot of ideas herself next to the one’s we proposed. At the end we came up with this final retro-design which met our expectations. Through creativity and patience, Annick manages to go along with an idea and give it a personal touch. We’re a fan of her work and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a small personal or business website.

Thanks, Annick.

In this tutorial how you can upload and download files with Filezilla.

You can download files TO your computer or upload files FROM your computer using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program. FTP refers both to an Internet protocol as well as to the name used for software applications that perform this function.

There are several free FTP programs available online.  In this tutorial I will be using the free program Filezilla. Once you have downloaded this program, you can follow the instructions below.

1.  Open Filezilla

2. In the icon bar, click the first button  to open the Site Manager

3. First time users first need to setup their account details, second time users can skip this step and proceed to step4
     In  the Site Manager, click the button “New Site”

 -  in the newly created folder (in left panel), enter the name of your site (ex. mysite)
 -  in the right panel enter your host (provided by your hosting service)
-   choose logintype “normal”
-   enter username and password (provided by your hosting service)
-   click OK

4. Now you can connect to your host by clicking the down arrow next to the Open Site Manager button
     and selecting your site

    You are now connected to the host and you will see a window divided in 2 panels:
    the left panel shows the files of your computer, the right panel shows the files of the remote site

TO DOWNLOAD

4.1. Find the file(s) that you want to download in the right panel (remote site)  by browsing through the folder icons (just like in Explorer)

4.2.  Navigate in the left window to the folder where you want to save the downloaded file(s).

4.3  Drag the files form the right to the left like in the video
