Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help answer your questions below:

1 do users have access to a user dashboard? besides adding a link of ( /events/community/list/ ) is there something to where when user logs in their dashboard icon comes up?

We have a way to restrict users from going to the backend, but do not provide a way for a say a Subscriber to use the backend to edit events, that is all done on the forms in the front end. We do not give people backend access to edit just events as we would run into all the wordPress Capabilities.

2. is there a way that we can add social media links to venues and organizer that will be saved under their profile?

We do not have a feature to add them through custom fields. It is possible to add that to the Venue or Organizer Content Editor. You could add your own custom fields to those post types and follow our themer’s guide to display on the front end.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

1. i don’t want them to access the backend. i was wondering when user logs in, they get a feature or an option to access ( /events/community/list/ ) with out having that page as a link that everyone that is not logged in see. right now I’m using a link that everyone can see. i don’t know how to make it so only logged in users can see that link. i could call that link “User Dashboard”.

2. That sounds like something i need to learn about. i learn fast but i just don’t know how to do that yet.

You could do a check if a user is logged in and then only show the link to them.

Not sure how your theme is setup, but that is one way to do it.
