Dates not required on Community Events

[tpsonline]

It seems that on the front end submission form for community events, the date picker field is not required, which means it’s possible for a user to submit an event without a date. This then causes the event to now show up in the wp-admin area because that query requires that the event have a start and end date.

This seems like a bug to me. Why would anyone want to allow events without dates?

Is there a way to require that the date fields are filled out? If not, consider it a feature request.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins I can help out here.

It is true it is not required, if a date is not include it defaults to todays date along with the default time set.

If you would like to make this required you can follow this guide to do that:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
