  3. The session data added in the event setup is automatically synced to the widget. You can customize which sessions to display under the Sessions section in the sidebar and the session details in the widget under the Widget settings section.

    • Show sessions by date: This shows sessions date-wise under the date tab.

    • Show sessions of all datesThis shows all sessions (completed or ongoing) on a single list

  5. Choose a pagination type for the widget
    • Show all sessions (no pagination): This shows all sessions in a continuous scroll
    • Use show more button: This allows attendees to click on a button to show all sessions.
      • Sessions shown per page (Mobile/Desktop): The number of sessions shown per view. Defaults to 6. Enter a specific number for Mobile or Desktop.

Best practices

  • You cannot inspect the page and use any classes given as it may not give you the intended results. Use only Zuddl custom classes listed for branding customizations.
  • Add "!important" on properties that aren't behaving as expected, which may be because of any existing class. This tag will give precedence to the CSS.
  • Do not use <style> tags in the Custom CSS text area.
  • The feature only supports plain CSS and not CSS nesting.
