Typical settings for WP custom content fields

This plugin is usually used with custom content types.

You can find typical Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Post Type UI settings in /docs/events-ct.php.)

Install and enable the following plugins:

• Advanced Custom Fields
• Custom Post Type UI

I also recommend you install and enable the optional plugin WP Crontrol

copy /docs/events-ct.php to your theme root directory

in your theme functions.php add

require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/events-ct.php' );

this will load the events-ct.php file and configure the custom content type.

next enable the CD Events Pull plugin

and configure the settings page /wp-admin/admin.php?page=cd-events-pull-wp-plugin-settings

Then configure the settings as in the screenshot below.

then run the following cron job lando wp cron event run cd_events_pull_cron_hook

Then you should see the events in the custom events content list.
