Do the users can create their own passwords ?

[Luciane]

Hello!

I allowed all users to create and publish automatically their events. But after the events creation the users need a login and a password to edit and visualize their events? Only I could register these logins informations or the users can create by their own?

Thanks!

Hey Luciane,

When you mention that you “allowed users to create and publish automatically their events”, do you mean that you have this option in your Community Events settings screen checked? → https://cloudup.com/cMS3wVryVZV

If not, then can you clarify exactly what you mean here?

If this is the option you’re referring to, then this option simply allows members of the public to submit events without a user account. However, yes, to further edit the events or something else from within your site’s admin-area, an administrator account with Events access would be required.

Let me know if this helps clarify anything – if not, provide more specific details and describe your configuration in greater detail, we’ll continue to help from there! 🙂

Cheers,
George

Hi George!

Yes, I have this option in my Community Events settings screen checked so all users can create events.
But after they created the events, do they need to have an account even when they just want to see their own events list or want to edit them?

And I have to create their account at my admin-area? I would like that the users could create their own accounts at my page area… Is it possible? Without having another access to my admin-area?

Thank you!

Hey Luciane,

People who submit events via Community Events submission forms will not be able to then go edit those events.

You can, however, allow anyone to register on your site separately from Community Events, which is possible by checking “Allow anyone to register” in Settings > General in your WordPress admin area, which will allow people to register on your site if they go to {your-site-name.com}/wp-login.php?action=register

You have a lot of control over this registration stuff, and could indeed set things up so that these users can create events but cannot access other parts of your admin – explore the web and information about WordPress in general to get a better sense of how all this works, for example this Codex page links to some other pages that are all great reading for learning how this stuff works → https://codex.wordpress.org/Registered_User_Features

If you have further specific questions or concerns about Community Events or anything, let us know! 🙂

Cheers,

Hi George,

Please help me to clarify one thing: the levels of users that you mencioned at the wordpress support don’t includes the events creations. So if my users can creat and edit only their own events they must be user level 0 or 1?

Thanks

Hey Luciane,

I’m not 100% certain what you mean by your question, but I’ll do my best to address your concerns here:

If you want users to be able to log in to your website at the /wp-admin URL, and from within your admin be able to go to the “Events” tab on the left side and add new events from within your admin, then they need to be full WordPress users with at least “Author” permissions.

If you’re curious about user permissions, this article has a wonderful breakdown of the default user roles → https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

Users created this way will be able to edit their own passwords and such.

If you do not want this, and only want users to submit events from the front-end, then one option is to have users register on your site but set them at the lowest admin role, “Subscriber”. This will give them an account on your site and the ability to edit their own password and such, but not let them submit events anywhere other than the /events/community/add page on the front-end of your site.

Does that information help? I hope so – if so, check out the information on creating users like this in my post above your most recent one, for more information on how to get users to actually register on their own at a URL like {your-site-name.com}/wp-login.php?action=register

Cheers,
George

Yes you got it, I’d like my users to be authors!

Just one more question, I already changed my users to be authors so they can create and edit their events. How they can login into my admin? I used the address {my-site-name}/wp-login.php and when I login as these users it just goes to my home page and not to my admin panel…

Thank you!

Hey Luciane,

I’m glad you’ve made some progress here! Good start – the redirecting issue you mentioned, where, after logging in, users are just brought to the home page and not to /wp-admin, may just require some options tweaking to fix.

After logging in, though redirected to the home page at first, are users still able to get to /wp-admin if they then go to that part of your site? Or even then, are they blocked from access and redirected back to the home page?

Like I mentioned above, this might be something mainly handled in your WordPress installation itself, and require some options-configuring and such. I’d recommend learning more about user admin registration and access and such on your own, and searching for tutorials/articles like these ones:

Hopefully resources like these will help!
