Hi
Is it possible to add events from the frontend? For eg. can the website user add an event from the frontend?
Thanks
Hello,
Thanks for using EventPrime.
Yes, a website user can conveniently add an event from the frontend through our frontend event submission form. This page is auto-generated when you install and activate EventPrime.
Upon successful event submission, the event will be saved in a draft state in the backend which the admin can review & publish.
The approved events can be located under the “My Events” section on the “User Profile” page.
Hello there,
Is it possible to preset a filter with shortcode [em_events]? for example [em_events event_type="Training"], or [em_events event_type_id=27]
Art
Hi Arthur,
Thanks for using EventPrime
Yes, you can utilize this shortcode: [em_events types="1,2,…" ].
Here, you can specify Event-Types IDs in a comma-separated format.
What is an Event Site ([em_event_site id=”x”])?
A Venue? Or is this legacy for an older plugin?
Hello Lee,
Yes, this shortcode is related to the Venue.
