Hosting:

We use A2 Hosting:

https://my.a2hosting.com/clientarea.php

Userids:

The boosters credit card is logged in the account to auto renew.

Users:

We have 3 admin users:

Monthly:

Update all of the plugins

Backups:

Backup Buddy can be set to run at any given time.

Core WordPress:

Currently it’s backleveled.  Until I can get a good backup in place, I have not wanted to update and risk breaking the them because of Gutenberg.

Events:

We use Events Calendar, which is a plugin.  Adding events is easy.

They will show up on the main page of the website in the footer column on the left.  This is a widget that can be found by clicking on appearance/widgets.  You will see the widget is set to show the next 5 events and not the ones which have occurred.  Feel free to go back and delete all old events.

Ads:

We use Advance Ads, which is a plugin.  The developer is also making updates to the base product.

To create new ads:

If an advertiser won’t be with us for the year, put their ad in draft in case they do come back in the future.

Portfolio:

Our advertisers each get their own page which are then added to a portfolio page.  To create a new one, duplicate  a current one and change:

If the advertiser won’t be with us for the year, put their page in draft in the event they come back later.

Forms:

We use Gravity Forms to create forms for usage.  Currently we are using a form for:

There is a form which is turned off for ads if you ever want to use it again.  It would be best if the only payment method is credit card so that Boosters is never chasing money.

The Brick form has both credit card and Paypal as the payment methods.
