New Organizer Added Each Time It's Selected from Drop Down

[bencoledesign]

I have set up a list of a few Event Organizers, however, each time I select that Organizer from the drop down list of Saved Organizers, it adds a new organizer to my list. I have ended up with 20 Organizers all with exactly the same details, without adding them myself.

Also, is there a way to make it so that only those organizers and venues that you manually add in to to the ‘Organizers’ and ‘Venues’ area get added, rather than having them added each time you put the details into a new event. I have a list of about 4 organizers and venues i’d like to use, and then random ones that will be on events every now and then, however I don’t want these random ones to appear on the drop down list.

Hi bencoledesign,

Sorry to hear about the trouble here. So you’re saying that you have an existing organizer that you select for a new event, and upon selecting and saving the event, that organizer is duplicated?

There is no way to exclude venues or organizers from the drop downs without hacking the core. The function that displays the venues is on line 262 of /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/events-calendar-pro.php and organizers is on line 312. I don’t advocate modifying the core plugin files, but if you wanted to remove certain venues or organizers, this is probably where you’d do it.

Thanks Jonah.

I’m not too concerned about excluding venue or organizers (don’t want to be hacking the core code) but yes, you are right about my main problem. I have an existing organizer that I select, and once I save the event, a duplicate of that organizer is created.

Have you come across this before? Do you know of a possible fix?

Hi Ben,

That is strange… Can you please try deactivating all other plugins and try reverting to the default WordPress theme to rule out any plugin/theme conflicts that could be causing this?

Thanks,
Jonah
