<h3>Configuring the settings</h3>
<p>Before adding a block to the page, make sure to update<br />
the CitySpark Admin Page Settings. The settings configured<br />
here are required for the correct operation of plugin, and<br />
without them you may run into undesired 404 errors.</p>
<p>In the CitySpark Event Calendar Settings page on the<br />
WordPress admin site, add a new “Placement URL” for<br />
each Portal and List Page block you intend to add to<br />
your site. Include the Placement URL and the Script<br />
ID just as you see on the CitySpark Admin site.</p>
<h3>Adding the block</h3>
<p>You can add a CitySpark Block to any page or post<br />
with the Gutenberg block editor. Directions for<br />
the different kind of blocks are outlined below.</p>
<h3>Portal and List Page Blocks</h3>
<p>After adding a CitySpark Portal or List Page Block to<br />
any page or post with the WordPress Gutenberg editor,<br />
insert the <code>Script ID</code> that matches the script that<br />
you want from the CitySpark admin page, and you should<br />
see the block show up in the preview (currently only<br />
available for CitySpark Portal blocks).</p>
<h3>Widget Blocks</h3>
<p>After adding one or more CitySpark Widget Blocks to<br />
a page or post with the WordPress Gutenberg editor,<br />
insert the <code>Widget ID</code> that matches the widget<br />
you want from the CitySpark admin page.</p>
<h3>Custom Hostname</h3>
<p>If ad-blockers on your visitors’ browsers are preventing<br />
the CitySpark portal script from loading, you can serve<br />
it through your own domain instead. To set this up:</p>
<ol>
<li>Log in to <a href="https://admin.cityspark.com" rel="nofollow ugc">admin.cityspark.com</a><br />
and configure a Custom Domain (e.g. <code>events.yoursite.com</code>).</li>
<li>Follow the DNS instructions provided there to point<br />
that hostname at CitySpark’s servers.</li>
<li>In the CitySpark Event Calendar Settings page in your<br />
WordPress admin, find the <strong>Custom Hostname</strong> section<br />
and enter just the hostname — no <code>https://</code> prefix<br />
(e.g. <code>events.yoursite.com</code>).</li>
<li>Click <strong>Save Custom Hostname</strong>. The plugin will now<br />
load the portal script from your domain instead of<br />
   portal.cityspark.com.</li>
</ol>
<p>Leave the field blank at any time to revert to the default<br />
CitySpark domain.</p>

<h3>What it does</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Locations sync</strong> – Pull all your Uberall locations into WordPress automatically via scheduled background sync or on-demand manual sync.</li>
<li><strong>NAP consistency</strong> – Name, address, and phone data stay aligned across every directory Uberall feeds, including Google Business Profile, Facebook, Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, and 100+ more.</li>

<p>Inconsistent listing data is one of the biggest local SEO problems.
