  • Edit dates so posts appear in the right order in Upcoming Events
    • WordPress displays posts in order from newest to oldest Published On date. You cannot set the dates to the actual meeting and outing dates because WordPress won’t display posts with dates in the future. To workaround this problem:
      • Set the outing date to today’s date
      • Set the meeting date to yesterday’s date.
    • The above will cause WordPress to display the outing first because it has the newest date
    • Verify that the events appear in the correct order, and if not, adjust the dates accordingly
  • Update the Past Activities table
    • Click TablePress in the left menu
    • Edit the Past Activities table for the current year
    • Edit the appropriate month to provide the meeting speaker/workshop and outing location
