Organizer added to an event appears as an event in the events list

[Jeremiah]

When a user enters Organizer info in the Event editing panel instead of using a saved Organizer from the dropdown select menu, that information is being added as a separate event and will appear in the Events list page. For example, if I add someone’s name as an organizer using the Events editing panel, when the post is saved, their name will then appear on the list of events in the WordPress backend. Their name is not being added to the Events on the frontend however.

Is that the way it is intended to function?

Hi Jeremiah,

The organizer’s name isn’t displayed on the front-end in the Upcoming Events List (normally found at example.com/events/upcoming/) but it should be found in the single event view (such as example.com/event/my-test-event/).

I’m sure it’s possible to add this though, it just isn’t there by default. Take a look at the tribe_get_organizer() template tag and our Themer’s Guide – there is heaps of information out there about this sort of thing – and please feel free to shout back if you need any help 🙂

Thanks Barry, but I think I may not have been able to describe the problem very well.

What I was describing is something that only applies to the backend.

When viewing the list of Events posts from the Admin menu, any Organizers that were added directly to a post instead of from the dropdown (saved Organizers) appear in the list of Events.

It seemed odd to me.

I’m really liking the plugin though. You can see how I’ve implemented for a recent site here: http://voxpopuligallery.org

Hi Jeremiah, sorry for the misunderstanding!

I can’t replicate what you are describing though – whether I add a new organizer or re-user an existing one the organizer name displays on the list of events found admin side (at wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tribe_events).

It’s possible there is a conflict with another plugin or your theme … could be worth temporarily disabling these then checking to see if the problem persists.

That’s a stylish looking site, by the way 🙂

Just checking in to see if you need any further help here – did you get to the root of the problem or is it still an issue?
