Individual User Calendars

[dmg4683]

I’ve been looking through the Support section on here and haven’t found what I’m looking for. I need to have the ability to put events into the calendar for multiple people, but I need each individual then to only see their own events. What is the easiest way to do this? I’ve tried the Press Permit plugin that’s out there, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. Please help! Thank you!

Hi. Although not included in our typical support terms, I created this snippet for you:

Please let me know how this goes for you.

Thank you, I’ll see if I can work with this. First: how will this work when I’m entering the events as the administrator? Will this make the administrator the author?

Second: Is there a way that multiple users can see the same event, but again restricting other users?

The other question………..where do I put this code?

Welcome to WordPress customizing!

Best practice for adding custom code (like to implement a PHP snippet to modify The Events Calendar) is to create a functionality plugin, unless it’s something specific to your theme, in which case best practice is to make sure you’re using a child theme<i>,</i> then add the customization to your child theme’s functions.php file.

Note that the opening <?php tag should be removed from our snippets when adding to your plugin file or your functions.php file (it’s only added to enable syntax highlighting)… unless the snippet is a complete file replacement.

I hope this information helps!

See the code’s comment of “let admins see everything” 🙂

To allow non-authors to see others’ posts, you’d have to do some extra coding, which I wouldn’t be able to provide to you, per our Scope of Support / Terms.

If you need some coding help, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
