Code for making dates and locations work
The MW sites use a system of shortcodes to make updating new sites each year easier. Please look a the following in text view and you will see that some code bracketed by brackets [ ] exists for most of the variables that change each year. This means that one change on the backend can change all instances of a shortcode below, allowing a single update point for items likes dates and cities.
Take note that there is a difference between the straight quotes and curly quotes that impact the coding. Typing the variables is fine as is copying from this page- double check when copying variables from other pages that they work.
Also, note that this page is for testing only and should never be published and only used in preview mode.
