I&#8217;ve been testing it out myself and with a few users. In Community settings, it&#8217;s set that all user-submitted events get marked as Pending Review for an admin to approve.<\/p>\n<p>A few questions have come up:<\/p>\n<p>1) When a user submits a new event, they get an on-screen notice that the event has been submitted. It does not indicate anywhere that the event is pending review, which is confusing to the users who thought an event would get published. Is there a built-in way to communicate this, or does it require changing the template?<\/p>\n<p>2) When a user submits a new event, the name of the event is shown on the next screen, with links for View and Edit. However, for sites where submitted events are pending Admin approval per the settings, these two links don&#8217;t work. This is also confusing to the user.<\/p>\n<p>3) Is any email or other notification provided to the user (not the admin) when an event is submitted to the queue, or when an event moves from pending to published? How is a user to know when an event is published? When we tested as a regular user (Subsciber), and listed all events for that user from the List My Events url (events\/community\/list\/), only events that are published show up on the list. There isn&#8217;t anything to indicate a pending event has been submitted. Our testers found this confusing, so sometimes they submitted the same event multiple times thinking the submission hadn&#8217;t gone through when it was in fact pending review.<\/p>\n<p>4) Does any of the above functionality change if we set it to &#8220;draft&#8221; instead of &#8220;pending review&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time!<\/p>\n<p>Jamila<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-966336","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>User notification of Pending Review events? -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/user-notification-of-pending-review-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"User notification of Pending Review events? -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi there, I just installed Events Calendar Pro and Community Events.
