How do I add an event to the Calendar?

Postings in certain categories can be added to the FPF Community Calendar.

Calendars on Front Porch Forum are great for public, time-specific events (e.g. gatherings, meetings, classes, garage sales, etc.).

FPF may decline to publish to the calendar events that don’t fit certain criteria – for example, ongoing events (sales, fundraisers, summer camps), or school or office closures.

How to submit an event:

  1. Log into your FPF account. In the menu, click the orange "Compose" button.
  2. Select a posting Category in the drop-down menu:
    • Event
    • Announcement
    • Housing and Real Estate (for open houses)
    • Election (for election-related events)
  3. Next, choose one of the following options:
    • Forum + Calendar: Submit your event as a Forum posting and a Calendar event.
    • Calendar Only: This option is the best way to submit multiple or multi-day events. Learn more.
  4. Fill in the form with the information about your event.
  5. Click "Submit."

A “success” message on your screen indicates the message was added to FPF’s moderation queue. Events are typically added to the Calendar within 24 hours.
