How to Add a Gig in GigGizmo

GigGizmo uses a short show form. You choose an existing venue, enter the date and times, and submit the show. The venue must already be listed under Venues.

Before You Begin

Have the correct venue, performance date, start time, and stop time ready. If the venue is not already in the venue list, create the venue page first.

Only add public appearances that should display on the website. Do not add private events unless the client has specifically approved public promotion.

Add the Show

  1. Log in to WordPress.
  2. Open Shows in the Dashboard menu.
  3. Select Add New.
  4. Choose the venue from the Venues list.
  5. Enter the performance date.
  6. Enter the start time.
  7. Enter the stop time.
  8. Review the venue, date, and both times.
  9. Select Submit.

Check the Website

Open the public schedule in a new browser tab. Confirm that the show appears on the correct date, in the correct order, and with the correct venue and times.

A Few Things to Watch

  • Do not create a second venue when the correct venue already exists.
  • Do not guess at dates or times.
  • Check AM and PM carefully.
  • Do not add a duplicate show when correcting an existing one. Remove the incorrect show first, then add the corrected version.

If you supply the complete schedule information, I can add shows as separately billed content work.
