Managing direct Submissions

[Paul]

I have installed my community events plugin. Everything is working ok and I’m trying to decide the best way to allow users to submit an event.

1. Have the “Allow anonymous submissions” unchecked and users are prompted to register as WP user account on clicking the customized add submissions url. The only thing I don’t like about this is that after registering as a new user you are then prompted to an email confirmation, then you have log back in and you arrive on to http://mysite/wp-admin/profile.php which has an option on the WP dash board for Events but for a first time user not very straigh forward. I would prefer that after registering as a new WP account you arrive directly on the http://mysite/events/community/add . Is ther a way I can do this.

2. Have the “Allow anonymous submissions” checked. So is this a more direct route for users and for safety the recaptcha is ensuring no spam , is that correct.
So I suppose what I am asking is what is the most direct and safe way for users to submit an event.

Thank you

Hey Paul,

Thanks for reaching out to us! Interesting question here…

Let me start by saying there’s not a best way of doing this, it just depends on your business requirements. That being said I think letting users submit events anonymously might work better if you are trying to get to the most direct way of submitting events. A personal suggestion, if this is a new website (or a new feature of an existing website) be on top of it and see how users react to it. But again, I guess allowing anonymous submissions lowers the barrier to get new events posted!

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this,
Best,
Nico
