How to Set Up a Calendar and Contact List in WordPress
You can use WordPress to create a simple and beautiful website for free. One of the features that you will find useful is setting up a calendar and contact list.
WordPress makes it easy to add events to your calendar and send out invitations to friends. You can also use it to maintain a task list or a to-do list.
The contact list allows you to keep track of your social media contacts. It also allows you to create groups of people you want to connect with (e.g., family, friends, colleagues, and other social media users).
Add Events to Your Calender
To add an event to your calendar, click the Add Events button at the top of the site’s home page (or just below the site’s banner).
From here, you can search for events by date or location. You can also add events using the keyword search bar or the calendar’s sidebar. If you click on any of the events, you will be taken to that event’s details. From here, you can edit the date and time of the event or add a description of the event (if you are inviting guests).
When you have finished making necessary changes, click the Save Changes button at the top right of the page.
This will refresh the calendar and show you a list of events that match your criteria. If you want, you can print a copy of the calendar for easy reference.
Send Out Invitations To Your Contacts
WordPress makes it easy to send out invitations to your contacts. When you add an event to your calendar, you have the option of sending an invitation to selected attendees. Alternatively, you can choose to have WordPress itself send out the invitation.
If you chose the first option (i.e., adding the event to your calendar and then sending out invitations), you will see a blank screen where the invitations should be displayed. To add invitations, simply type the person’s name in the search bar and press Enter. You will then see all the people you want to invite. You can either click on the names or the invitations themselves to send out the invitations (you can’t send out invitations to guests you have not added to your calendar first).
When you have finished sending out the invitations, click the Save Invites button at the top right of the page. You will then be returned to your calendar where you can see any new invitations that were not accepted previously. You can remove any unwanted invitations from this list by clicking the Trash Can icon next to the individual name.
Contact List
The contact list is where you can keep track of your social media contacts. It is also where you can create groups of people you want to connect with. To add someone to your contact list, click the Add Contacts button at the top of the site’s home page (or just below the site’s banner).
A contact list is different from your social media following in that a contact list is (by default) populated with people you already know and have a connection with. So, if you want to connect with potential new friends, colleagues, or business contacts, you will have to go through a different channel (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook).
To populate your contact list, click the arrow next to the search bar and select the type of contacts you want to add to the list (e.g., social media users, email contacts, or both).
When you have finished adding the people you want to keep track of, click the Save button at the top right of the page.
A contact list is a very handy tool if you are looking to keep track of your social media connections and want to make it easy for people to get in touch with you. It is particularly useful if you have a large number of contacts as it will make it easier to find the right person and to get in touch with them via a simple email or phone call.
Summary
WordPress makes it very easy to set up a simple but functional calendar and contact list. These tools are very useful for any type of business. A calendar is an easy way to plan out important events and to ensure someone else does not step on your plans. A contact list is a great way to stay in touch with your friends, family, and other trusted individuals. If you use WordPress, these tools are readily available to you.
