Confused about Additional Fields for Organizers and Venues

[wendy]

Hi! I found this link about adding additional fields for venues and organizers. I followed the directions and added all of the snippets to my functions.php file. But I dont understand how to implement this.

Let’s say I want to add the field Title to my organizer page. After doing everything indicated below, can you please tell me how do I do this? Where do I do this?

Hey Wendy,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I’m not sure I’m following your request completely. To clarify:

1. After adding the first snippet, are you able to see the additional fields created under the Event Settings > Additional Fields tab displaying on the edit screen when creating new Venues and Organizers?
2. If so, when you add content (or selections) from those fields are they not showing up on the front-end for your venues and organizers?

Thanks!

I dont understand what you mean.
After I entered the snippet, I looked in Settings/Additional Fields and what i saw was exactly what was there before. Additional fields that I created for my events, but no option to add additional fields to organizers/venues. In fact, I dont see any place at all to create a new field that would be associated with an organizer. I dont see it on the edit page when I create a new organizer/venue either.

Hey Wendy,

I reviewed the snippets and the tutorial again and I apologize for the confusion. The title of the tutorial can be a little misleading and to be honest it got me as well when looking at it.

What this tutorial does is allow for the built-in custom fields feature within WordPress to be added to the two post types (Organizer and Venue). This isn’t utilizing the Pro Additional Fields feature, it is providing a feature that is very similar to these post types.

So, when adding these snippets you should get the Custom Fields metabox added to your Venues and Organizer edit screen (https://cloudup.com/czTUCDvsuh3) and the information added here will be output into the Front-End templates for those views.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
