The attendee list in Event Tickets shows who has registered, purchased tickets, or RSVP’d for each event. You may want to extend that list to surface additional information \u2014 particularly for check-in, reporting, or export. This article collects customizations for the attendee list in the WordPress admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The customizations in this article are all code snippets. Add them to your child theme’s functions.php<\/code> file or use the Code Snippets plugin. If code snippets are new to you, start with Using Code Snippets to Customize The Events Calendar<\/a> for a walkthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Export the Attendee List with Registration Fields<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you need to export an attendee list that includes all registration fields<\/strong>, simply exporting from the Attendees<\/strong> menu under the Tickets<\/strong> section may not capture all the data. Follow the steps below to ensure your export includes attendee responses to all custom fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Navigate to Your Event<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Events > Events<\/strong>. Find the event for which you want to export the attendee data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Open the Attendees Page<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hover over the event and click Attendees<\/strong>. This will take you to the list of attendees for that specific event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Attendees<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Export the List<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On the Attendees<\/strong> page, look for the Export<\/strong> button. Clicking this will generate a CSV file that includes all attendee details along with their responses to any registration fields, such as additional questions added via ticket fieldsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Columns for Attendee Registration Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you use additional fields<\/strong> for Attendee Information Collection via the Event Tickets Plus<\/a> plugin, you may want to surface that information as a new column in the Attendees list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example, let’s add a “Company” text field to an event ticket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Company<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Attendees see the new field on their registration form and can provide this information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Attendee<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But when we view the Attendee List<\/a>, the Company information doesn’t appear in the table by default:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Default<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Snippet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Carefully insert the following PHP code at the end of your theme’s functions.php<\/em> file (ensure not to overwrite any existing code there) or use the Code Snippets<\/a> plugin:<\/p>\n\n\n

\nadd_filter( 'tribe_events_tickets_attendees_table_column', function ( $value, $item, $column ) {\n    if ( $column === 'company' ) {\n         $value = $item['company'];\n    }\n    return $value;\n}, 100, 3 );\n\nadd_filter( 'manage_tribe_events_page_tickets-attendees_columns', function ( $column_headers ) {\n    $new_column_headers = [];\n    foreach ( $column_headers as $column_key =&gt; $column_name ) {\n        $new_column_headers[ $column_key ] = $column_name;\n        \/\/ Add the new column immediately after the ticket column.\n        if ( 'ticket' == $column_key ) {\n            $new_column_headers['company'] = 'Company';\n        }\n    }\n    return $new_column_headers;\n} );\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Don’t forget to replace company<\/code> with the name of the field you are using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After saving the changes, you should see a new custom column on the Event Attendees list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Attendees<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Display the Security Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To add a Security Code column to the Attendees list, insert the following PHP code at the end of your theme’s functions.php<\/em> file or use the Code Snippets<\/a> plugin:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nadd_filter( 'tribe_events_tickets_attendees_csv_export_columns', function( $columns ) {\n    $columns['security_code'] = 'Security Code';\n    return $columns;\n} );\n\nadd_filter( 'tribe_events_tickets_attendees_table_column', function ( $value, $item, $column ) {\n    if ( $column === 'security_code' ) {\n         $value = $item['security_code'];\n    }\n    return $value;\n}, 100, 3 );\n\nadd_filter( 'manage_tribe_events_page_tickets-attendees_columns', function ( $column_headers ) {\n    $new_column_headers = [];\n    foreach ( $column_headers as $column_key =&gt; $column_name ) {\n        $new_column_headers[ $column_key ] = $column_name;\n        if ( 'ticket' == $column_key ) {\n            $new_column_headers['security_code'] = 'Security Code';\n        }\n    }\n    return $new_column_headers;\n} );\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
After inserting the code and saving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
