If you’ve ever had a registrant sign up for the wrong event, then you know how important it can be to be able to move them to a different event; moving registrations between events can be a very time consuming process. With the Attendee Mover add-on for EE4, you can now move attendees to different events with ease.
Article Outline
Shave at least 5 minutes off the attendee reassignment process!
With the Attendee Mover add-on, it only takes four simple steps to move an attendee to a new event, from the Registrations Overview page, click the “Attendee Mover” icon in the attendee row.

Reporting Issues
Please report issues in the Attendee Mover support forums.
This is great and will save lots of time for me. Can you move someone to the same event but a different ticket?
Yes, you can to do that with this add-on 🙂
We were really looking for waiting list functionality. I saw a suggestion in the forums of using an extra ticket named “Waiting List” with instructions to sign up for one if the event is sold out. The Attendee Mover functionality would allow an administrator to move someone off the waiting list and onto the event list which is very helpful!
Yes! I was just looking for something like this the other day. I’m excited to test it out.
Is this available for people who do not have an active Licence?
I don’t think so. Sorry.
I just downloaded the attendee mover plugin. Then I read: “do not activate this plugin on an active website” So how do I test this plugin? Sorry for my lack of tech. Sara
Hello Sara,
Where did you see that message? Since this is a beta version, that basically means you should use a test site, rather than your primary website, where you are actively accepting registrations for events. You can probably disregard the message for now, but make sure you are try it with a couple of test registration first.
Thanks–I get it. Will activate and test with a few fake registrations. Sweet.
Is there a way to bulk move more than one attendee? I have a group registered for a class that is now going to get an in-house training, which will be a different event now.
Thanks this is great.
Not at the moment, but I have requested the feature.
Hi Seth,
will this add-on allow me to substitute attendees?
Example: a ticket that has been purchased by attendee A now needs to be for attendee B
Also because of admin fee, how can I charge a payment fee for this?
Seth, I could really use this feature and I would like to try it. I would test on some fake customers before using as you suggested above. But I was wondering are you aware of anyone having a bad experience with it messing up there website? Or, what is the worst that is lilely to happen? If I use on an active site?
Thanks,
Jeff
I haven’t heard of anyone’s site getting messed up, or anything like that. I think we’re mostly having some issues with Javascript not loading in the admin. Once we have those issues resolved we’ll be releasing the plugin.
