Adore Church includes a built-in event management system. The Events Options section controls global settings for how events are displayed and behave across your site.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Events | Master toggle for the built-in event feature. When enabled, the Events custom post type and all event-related functionality is active. Disable this if you prefer to use a third-party event plugin such as The Events Calendar instead. |
| Contact Form Message | Customise the message or label shown above the contact/RSVP form on individual event pages. Example: ‘Interested in attending? Get in touch below.’ |
| Show Event Date & Time | Toggle whether the date and time information is displayed on event listings and detail pages. |
| Add to Calendar Button | When enabled, a button is shown on individual event pages that allows visitors to add the event to their personal calendar (Google Calendar, iCal, or Outlook) using a standard .ics file. |

For detailed configuration of the event calendar view — including month/day names, Google Calendar integration, and event colour coding — see the Calendar Options section.
Note: The built-in event system is a lightweight solution suitable for most church event needs. For advanced features like ticket sales or recurring events, consider using The Events Calendar plugin.
