# Indie Website: Events
## Set up your website's event page URL and publish new events. Add dates, times, locations, and manage visibility settings easily.
### 📅 Managing Your Event Settings and Creating a New Event
In this video, you'll learn how to **create an event** on your website. We'll start by looking at your **Events Page URL**.
#### Customizing Your Events Page Link
By default, your website's events page link is your website's address followed by a dash and the word "**events**." You can easily change this default text:
1. Go to your **Dashboard**.
2. Navigate to **Events**, then **Settings**.
3. On the Events Settings page, select the **General** tab.
4. Scroll down to the **Viewing** section.
5. Find the first option, **Events URL slug**, and update it from the current default of "events" to your preferred text.

#### Creating a New Event
Now, let's learn how to create a new event:
1. Go back to your **Dashboard**.
2. Navigate to **Events**, then select **Add New**.
3. You are now on the 'Add New' page. Take your time to fill out the necessary information, starting with:
- **Your title**
- **The content** (You can also add media here if desired.)
- **The Events Calendar:** You **must** fill out the **date and time** of your event.
- **The location:** It's very important to add the **correct address** for it to display properly.
4. You can also choose to display the map and a map link.
5. Further down, you can add **organizers**, an **event website**, an **event cost**, and other details.
---
#### Publishing Your New Event
On the right side of the screen, you will find the **Publish** box:
- This is where you will **publish your new event** once all information is complete.
- **Status Options:** You can change the event's status from the default "Draft" to "**Pending Review**" or "**Publish**."
- **Visibility Options:** You can change the visibility from the default "Public" to "**Password protected**" or "**Private**."
- **Publishing Option:** You can choose to publish the event **immediately** or **set a specific date and time** for it to be published automatically.
