Invitation-Only Event?

[Paul]

Hello,

Is it possible to have an event which is invitation only?

I know I can use the Hide From Event Listings checkbox and then just provide the url to people who I chose to invite, but the event can be found via the default WordPress search, either indirectly or just clicking the search button with a blank search field.

If I password protect the page in the back-end, the event shows as Protected on the front-end but the ticket itself is viewable and can be purchased.

Is an invitation-only event possible?

Kind regards,

Paul.

Hey Paul,

The password-protected option is usually the one we’d recommend here—I’m sorry to hear about the fact the tickets still display when you do this, though!

That is a bug we need to fix as soon as possible—when fixed, password protection would be the best option for “invitation-only” events; the “hide from event listings” method has the problem you describe, and is not meant quite for this specific task, and there are unfortunately no other options within our own plugins at this time.

I highlighted “within our own plugins” there because, until we get that “password-protected” bug fixed, you might find it helpful to use another plugin to facilitate the limiting of event access—even if only temporarily!

There are numerous plugins for this task; a great one is http://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-content, for example.

I’m sorry about the existence of the “password protected” bug, but hope the information I’ve shared here is helpful!

Sincerely,
George
