Editing Event Details
Update event information like time, location, or description after creation.
Details change. A game location gets moved. A clinic fills up and needs a waitlist note. A tryout description needs a correction. Knowing how to quickly find and update an existing event keeps your website accurate and prevents families from showing up at the wrong place with the wrong information.
Finding an Existing Event
Go to Events in the left menu and click All Events. You’ll see a list of all events on your site. Search by title or scroll to find the one you need to edit. Click Edit to open it.
What You Can Update in WordPress
As a content editor, you can update any of the text fields in the event: the title, the description, the location if it’s in a text field, or any other custom fields shown on the edit screen. Make your changes in the appropriate fields and save.
What Lives in LeagueApps Instead
For events that connect to a LeagueApps program, some details are managed in LeagueApps — not in WordPress. Registration pricing, available spots, registration open/close dates, and payment options are all controlled in LeagueApps. If those details need to change, they need to be updated in LeagueApps by your administrator. Updating the WordPress event page won’t affect the LeagueApps program, and vice versa.
When a Detail Is in Both Places
Sometimes a date or location might be mentioned both in the WordPress event description and in LeagueApps. If both need to match — like if you move a tryout from Park A to Park B — make sure you update both. Updating only one side leaves families with contradictory information.
Communicating Important Changes
WordPress doesn’t automatically notify families when an event is updated. If you make a meaningful change (a location moves, a time shifts), consider posting a news announcement or reaching out through your normal communication channels. A quick update post prevents confusion and shows the community your site is actively maintained.
⚠️ Warning: Updating a WordPress event does not update the LeagueApps program, and vice versa. If important details change on either side, make sure both are in sync.
