Editing and Deleting Locations

Ordering Locations

Locations are listed in manual order. There is an Order field that you can enter a numeric value into when adding or editing a location.

Single Location

Most churches have one location so what we recommend is linking from your menu directly to that location. You don’t have to create a page like “Campus Locations” in the demo (which uses the Locations template to list all). Instead, add your single location then go to Appearance > Menus and click on Locations on the left side to add your location to the menu.

If “Locations” doesn’t show, click on Screen Options at the top-right to enable it. Learn more in Menus.

Location Photos

Photo galleries can be embedded in location content. This is handy for providing the visitor with a virtual tour of your church. See the Galleries guide for information.

Location Widgets

You can go to Appearance > Customize > Widgets to add the CT Locations widget to a widget area on your site. It can be useful on your Homepage to make visitors immediately aware of your location(s) and service times. Different themes have different widget areas (homepage, footer, sidebar, etc.). Read the Widgets guide for more information.

Settings for Locations

There are settings available in Settings > Church Content > Locations.

You must set your Google Maps API Key in this area in order for maps to work on locations, events and elsewhere on the site.
