How to Disable/Redirect "Register for This Event" Button

[Marie]

Hi there,

I would like to know if it is possible when editing an event to either disable/redirect the “Register for This Event” button–some events we don’t need attendees to register. Do we have any options?

Thank you,
Marie

Good evening Marie and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

As a first troubleshooting step, could you please provide us with your complete system information in a private reply using the instructions found in the following link?

I believe you might have out Event Tickets Plugin installed which is causing the button to display.

1. You can remove the button via CSS as my colleague Hunter suggests here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/disable-register-for-this-event/#post-1058791
2. You can redirect the button where you want using the following method: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/how-do-i-redirect-the-event-registration-button/#post-1122044

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Good afternoon Marie,

Thank you for writing back and for providing your system information.

As I thought, the simplest way to remove the “Register” button is by using my colleague Hunter’s CSS rule (adding it to your child theme CSS).

Furthermore, this feature is actually not built-in. It is specific to your WordPress theme.
Most probably, this was added through template customizations. You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

To make a long story short, there is probably a /tribe-events/ folder in either your WordPress theme or child theme.
If you look for the single event view related files in that folder, you should be able to see the registration button and either remove it or change it’s behaviour

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
