Hi,
I have created a few events previously that I would like to assign to a newly created user, a community events contributor. Is that possible and if so how?
Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out! I’m happy to help you with this one.
When you are editing an event, then in the top right corner of the page you can see a “Screen Options” button. If you click on that, then a frame opens.
In that frame make sure that the checkbox next to “Author” is checked. This will make a meta box appear somewhere on the event editing page (likely at the bottom) where you can choose a new Author for the event.
Hit Update and you are done.
Here’s a screenshot to guide you.
Hope this helps, let me know.
Cheers,

That doesn’t work, see screenshots below:
These are the users that have been configured, I am trying to assign existing events to “Seth Bush”
But in the “Author” field this person isn’t listed, only the “Administrative” users are listed.

Thanks for sharing those screenshots, that is helpful.
You can assign users as an event author who have editor capabilities.
I see you have an event contributor role, to the best of my knowledge that role doesn’t come with our plugins, actually we don’t add any specific user roles.
You can compare the capabilities of editor and event contributor and check what is missing.
WPFront User Role Editor or User Role Editor plugins should help you with that.
Does this help get you started?
