Sponsors

Description

This plugin allows you to define arbitrary sponsorship levels for your events and specify which levels have a logo and which levels link to the sponsor’s website. Arbitrary sponsors can be added to any session, with custom preambles (i.e. “Sponsored by”, “Brought to you in part by”, “Co-Presenter”, etc.).

The plugin is integrated with The Conference App and will automatically create a Sponsors page on the About panel, listing logos and links for all of your event’s sponsors.

Installation

1. Sponsors is available for purchase from topquark.com
2. Purchase/Download Sponsors from topquark.com/extend/plugins/sponsors
3. Go to your WordPress plugins page and upload the ZIP, then activate the plugin

Frequently asked questions

How do I add a Sponsors page to my site

On any page or post, you can add sponsors from all levels or just specific levels by using the shortcode [the_sponsors_page]. There are a few attributes you can specify:

• year – the conference year you want to display the sponsors for. Default is the current year
• type – a comma separated list of the types of sponsors you want to appear (i.e. Gold,Silver,Bronze)
• list_style – either page (default – shows sponsors broken down by level, along with logos) or list (just a list of sponsors, no logos).
