This guide walks through the basic steps required to publish or edit a meeting in WordPress using GovernDocs.

Step 1: Create a meeting

Go to GovernDocs > Meetings in the WordPress admin menu and then click Add New Meeting.

The meeting editor allows you to add the meeting title, description, meeting details, and separate agenda and minutes documents.

Step 2: Add the meeting details

Fill in the main meeting fields such as meeting date, meeting ID, status, chair, minute taker, and location.

You can also add a short description to explain the purpose of the meeting on the front end.

Step 3: Upload agenda and minutes

Use the Agenda section to upload the agenda file, add its publish date, and enter any agenda notes.

Use the Minutes section to upload the minutes file, add the approval date, and enter any minutes notes.

Step 4: Publish the meeting

Click Publish to save the meeting. The record can then be displayed anywhere on your site using the shortcode shown in the meeting editor sidebar.

Step 5: Display the meeting

Copy the shortcode and paste it into a page, post, or widget area that accepts shortcodes.
