Hey Dario,
Thanks for reaching out. While I don’t have much insight on how to write a custom template like this in your theme, you may definitely find it easier to use the second method you suggested:
should i just not use the login feature on the theme and give different roles to different users? i am a bit confused on the process
thanks for your help.
The Events Calendar does not have the sort of user-access management features you are describing here; in fact, none of our plugins do 🙁
So, unfortunately, for more information about your custom templates and such you may need to contact your theme developer’s support channel for more assistance on that. (You said this: “I am using a template that has a login feature already”, so I assume this is a theme that you have purchased from somewhere or something like that).
I’m sorry that there isn’t much actionable information in my reply here; this is not a question we have much insight on, unfortunately. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
Sincerely,
George
