Estimated reading: 3 minutes 10 views

Overview

The Custom Fields Settings section allows you to create and display additional event information beyond the default Event Builder fields. This feature is useful when your events require extra details such as registration links, dress codes, contact information, meeting instructions, venue notes, certificates, or any other custom data.

You can enable custom fields globally and choose which field types are available for your events. The selected fields can then be displayed on Event Single pages using the Event Custom Fields widget or the default event template.
