DIRECTORY LISTINGS HELP

• How can I add a listing to your directory?

  Once you are registered and logged into WordPress, you should see a link in the dark gray bar at the top of your screen for “Directory Dashboard”. Click on that and then on the green button to “Add A Listing”. From there, it should be pretty self explanatory. Teachers should select YOGA TEACHER first when they get to the Yoga Category and then can “Add More” by listing the styles you teach. Studios should select YOGA STUDIO first from the categories, and then can “Add More” to add the styles of classes offered in their space.

• I submitted my directory listing, now what?

  An Illumine website administrator will review your submission and then publish it in our directory. Please give us up to 48 hours to verify your submission.

• I want to edit my directory listing, can I?

  Absolutely! Make sure you are logged into our website, and then locate and click on your listing in the directory. You will see a few icons appear on the right side of the listing. Choose ‘Edit my Listing’. Make your changes, and don’t forget to ‘Save Changes’.

• What's up with adding a photo to my listing?

  Here’s the deal…it is best to upload a square image (for ex. 300px by 300px) because the system will automatically crop it to a square. It should be a .jpg or .png file.

  We recommend you load your Logo. To do so, scroll to the bottom of the Listing editor page to the section called Photos (please ignore the one named Logo). The first image you load here, will be the one that appears on the main landing page of our directory listings. Additional photos you load will show up on the specific listing page for you or your studio. 

STUDIOS WE NEED YOUR HELP ADDING EVENTS TO OUR CALENDAR

We would love to add your yoga events, workshops and retreats into the Illumine Events Calendar. In order to make this possible and to accommodate the many events of the many studios in the Chicago area, we are asking for submissions in the form of a .CSV file, which you can do in MS Excel (save as) or Apple’s Numbers application (go to share, choose “Export CSV). Please use our .csv file (click here to DOWNLOAD .csv) or our .xlsx file (click here to DOWNLOAD .xlsx) as your template for filling in content. Please note: the headers need to remain EXACTLY as written, and the values for date and time are very specific.

Instructions for headings:
publish_status: THIS SHOULD BE “draft” FOR ALL YOUR EVENTS
event_name: Your event name here
event_description: Big long description of things goes here
event_start_date: for ex. 09/28/2013
event_start_time: for ex. 6:00:PM
event_end_date: for ex. 09/28/2013
event_end_time: for ex. 8:00:PM
