Publish Date As default, the event date is used as the date of the event you’re adding to your website. You can toggle this change here to use the publish date instead.
Mapping Platform You can select from two providers for Maps which are displayed on the event page. The default is Open Street Maps, but can be changed to Google Maps here.
Maximum Attendance Limit This option allows you to choose the default number chosen as the maximum number of attendees you can have for an event. This is useful if you use the same venue which may have restrictions on occupancy. You can also amend this value on any event page. Choosing 0 will remove any limits.
Maximum Number of Guests Similar to the previous option, this allows you to choose the default used for numbers of guests.
Anonymous RSVP You can tick this box to allow attendees to provide an anonymous RSVP. It can be amended on each event page.
Not Attending Users You can tick this box to allow the system to immediately choose ‘No Attending’ as their RSVP response when confirming attendance at an event. It can also be amended on each event page.
Date and Time Formats Date and Time formats can be chosen here. These use the standard PHP formatting characters.
Event Archive Pages You can choose a specific WordPress page to be used for the Upcoming Events and Events Archive pages here.
Leadership
You can choose the organizers who arrange the events on the Events > Settings > Leadership section.
