Settings & Site Customization

Can you change some of the wording on my site?
You can only customize the fields available on the Settings page.
Why do I need to change the start/end date for my event?
The start and end dates determine which events are visible on your site. If sessions are outside the date range, they will not be visible on your public schedule. You can change the start/end dates on the Settings page.
Can I change the sched.org URL for my site?
Once you have chosen your sched.org URL you can not change it.
Can I change the RSVP label for my site?
Yes, on the Settings page.
How do I change the event name for my website?
You can change the event name for your website in Settings.
How do I change the time zone for my event?
You can change the time zone for your website in Settings.
I have the free package. How do I remove the ads from my site?
You will need to upgrade to the Basic plan to remove the ads from your site.
How do I add SCHED* to my event's website?
Include the link to your SCHED* site on your event's website.
Can you copy the data from my site last year over to my site for this year?
Yes, contact us at support@sched.org with your current URL and the last year's site you'd like to import from.

Customization

What is a header image?
A header image is the image at the top of your public schedule. You can modify this image any time in Settings.
What are the maximum dimensions of the header image for my site?
The maximum width is 980px wide. There is no maximum height requirement. We recommend limiting it to 250px.
Can I change/set the event type colors for my site?
Event type colors are pre-defined but you can modify them in Settings.
How long does it take to customize my site with the Professional Package?
The Premium Integration for customizing your SCHED* site to look like the rest of your event's website is completed within 10 business days. Rush customization is also available if you contact us first.
Who does the premium integration? Is this something my team needs to do?
The SCHED* team executes the Premium Integration as part of the Professional Package. You provide our team with a specific URL to base the SCHED* site off of and our team takes care of the rest. We will match the look & feel of your site, incorporate your navigation menus, include your header & footer files and any other specific requests you may have. The sites are also browser checked to ensure proper delivery of all content across all web browsers.
Can I control the CSS on my SCHED* site?
If you have the Professional Package we take care of the CSS customizations for you, but you can also control the CSS yourself by contacting us with a link to the CSS file hosted on your servers.
What's a vanity URL and how do I set it up for my site?
Your SCHED* site is currently at yourname.sched.org but you can change this to blend in with your existing website by choosing a vanity url like schedule.yourdomain.com. Here's how:

1) Select your preferred sub-domain of your existing site (e.g. schedule.yourdomain.com )
2) Email your selection to support@sched.org and wait for confirmation.
3) Have your system admin point your sub-domain's A-Record (IP address) to 205.186.156.98

Please note that you need to change your sub-domain's A-Record, not its name-servers. Don't forward or redirect anything, you only need to change the A-Record.
