Can I specify a specific User Role when a user registers to submit an event?

[bodhitree]

It looks like it just defaults to whatever is set in our WP Admin > Settings > General. But for various reasons my company wants event creators to get a very specific user role, not the default in the WP Admin. Is there any way to specify that?

Hi there Ted,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! Interesting question here 🙂

What you say is correct, Community Events uses the default WordPress registration form so new users will be assigned the default role for the site. As the plugin is using the default registration form there’s actually no way of detecting if the user is registering for the site or to submit event particularly. Does this makes sense to you?

Just to clarify, what you need is to have two different registration forms in the site?

Please let me know about it and I’ll do my best to help you out,
Best,
Nico

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
