Install the plugin through your WordPress dashboard or upload it via SFTP.

1. Automatic Installation (Recommended)

  1. 1
    Download the ZIP file

    Download convention-schedule-planner.zip from your purchase account. Do not unzip the file.

  2. 2
    Upload in WordPress

    Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin in your WordPress admin. Choose the ZIP file and click Install Now.

  3. 3
    Activate the Plugin

    Click Activate Plugin. A new menu item named Events appears in your admin sidebar. The plugin automatically seeds ~25 common roles to help you start immediately!

2. Manual Installation via SFTP

  1. 1
    Unzip the file

    Unzip convention-schedule-planner.zip on your computer. This creates the folder convention-schedule-planner.

  2. 2
    Upload the folder

    Upload this folder via SFTP or your host's file manager into the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation.

  3. 3
    Activate the plugin

    “Convention Schedule & Program Planner” now appears under Plugins → Installed Plugins. Click Activate.

Add-on Room Monitor & Kiosk Hub

Install the add-on the same way: upload convention-schedule-room-monitor.zip under Plugins → Add New, or copy the folder convention-schedule-room-monitor into wp-content/plugins/. It builds on the calendar, so activate it after the calendar.

Important Post-Install Step

Navigate to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes once without changing anything. This flushes rewrite rules for session and speaker single pages.
