Swiching from Anonymous to WordPress Account

[katecooteltd]

My client asked that people be given the ability to edit an event they previously submitted. Having looked into this, it appears to require a number of major changes to the setup to get there.

Can you please confirm that firstly I need to take someone to a login / signup page. A previous post suggested Subscriber was a suitable role, but does that allow them access to event posts.

On the subject of events, when a user logs in, will they see and be able to edit not only their events, but others too or can we restrict the posts they can view to their own?

If an event is approved and published by admin and live, what happens after changing event details they make following original post approval i.e does it need reapproval?

Thanks in advance,
Colin

Hi,

The system in Community Events is built in to give people access to the events they created through their account so there should not be to much to do.

The subscriber role is fine as the plugin takes care of the roles and they will only see the events they created and no one others. Also, everything is handled on the front end to edit events and see their list of events.

If you turn off Anonymous events a login screen will appear. As for registering visitors that is handles by WordPress still we do not add anything extra to do that.

Once an event is published and future changes are made there is no approval to those changes. They go live directly.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
