I can’t figure out how to edit the event cost. I don’t want to sell tickets – I only want to list the event cost in the metadata and then use that value in the filter options.
Update to say that I noticed that the cost field appears in the event meta data if the event has been added through the community/add page. If I add an event directly in the wordpress back end, the cost field is not present.
The cost field is actually hidden by default when Event Tickets Plus or Eventbrite Tickets is active. This is done to prevent any confusion from having a “cost” field separate from the prices displayed with tickets. However, you can get the field back with this free extension. Can you give this a try and let me know if it works for you?
