Newbie questions

[rob]

I’ve read all the “Primer” articles, e.g.: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/managing-community-events-submissions/

But I can’t find anywhere how I can create a page for “registration”.

I know I can send users to: /events/community/add/ to create an event, which in turns asks them to sign-in or register… but is there no “registration” page / shortcode / something?

And after a registration, or during a failed login, it redirects to the normal wordpress login area.

I just want a simple page where people can register, login, add an event… I’m lost as how to do this.

Also, I did create an account but didn’t receive any confirmation email. I’m sure that’s just an issue with our temp dev server, but I can’t login using the credential for the user I just registered. Why can’t I log in?

Good evening Rob and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with these topics.

User registration is actually a built-in WordPress feature (that can be activated or not).

For more information on this topic, you could take a look at the following post: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-allow-user-registration-on-your-wordpress-site/

That is indeed normal WordPress behaviour. If you want something that’s a little more user friendly, I would recommend using a plugin such as theme my login: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

Also, I did create an account but didn’t receive any confirmation email. I’m sure that’s just an issue with our temp dev server, but I can’t login using the credential for the user I just registered. Why can’t I log in?

It’s hard to say for sure. I believe you are on the right track for the DEV server.

As for creating a new user, could you tell me how you did that ? (through the backend in the Users menu ?)

Best regards,

Geoff B.
