new page for entering new events with communtiy

[Edwin]

I need to create a new page where various users can enter new events. I have searched the documentation and can’t figure out how to even get started. Can someone help? Thank you.

Hey @Edwin,

Thanks for purchasing Community Events!

Once it is installed and activated on your site, users will be able to submit events at [yoursite.com]/events/community/add

You cannot make a new page for this – do not make a page, in fact, as that could break the submission form. The form will be auto-generated at [yoursite.com]/events/community/add.

So if the Site where you have this installed is http://upstairslounge.net then the form should be generated at http://upstairslounge.net/events/community/add

You cannot make a new page where events can be submitted in addition to this one.

I hope this helps!

this page gives me a 500 error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hey @Edwin,

To help with troubleshooting that error I would recommend first going to Settings > Permalinks in your admin area, and just clicking “Save Changes” without actually making any changes. This may seem like an odd thing to do but is a little “trick” within WordPress to get the permalinks across your site to refresh, which might help here.

If this does not help, then I would recommend heeding the advice of that error message and contacting your web hosting provider/server administrator to take a deeper look into this as it could be an issue at the level of your server’s .htaccess file or something.

If they’re unable to help, and/or just don’t see any server-level problems, then I would recommend two things:

1. First, share your system information with us as described here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

2. Next, run through the complete set of troubleshooting steps outlined here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

Thank you for your patience @Edwin!
