Allow single registration only per event

Hello

We want to allow only one registration for one event. For now any user can register multiple times for an event.

There is option to limit order number for an event but user can always order again.. for example I can order one ticket multiple times.

Whats solution for this?

Regards

Hi Andreas,

Are you meaning that you only want an attendee to only register for an event one time? There currently isn’t a way to limit users to only one registration per event.

If I am not understanding correctly, please explain again. 🙂

Hi,

There’s no in built way to handle this, though I’m fairly sure a custom solution could be created.

We have some recommended developers here: https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/

However there is no 100% way to stop this from happening. If for example you block access based on email, they can simply use a different email. Block via IP? Use a different IP. Probably the most effective way would be to have the user log in to be able to register (use the EE4/EE3 WP User Integration addon) though you will still need to check against the users registered events.

You set the default registration status to Not Approved. Then you only approve one registration per event for that individual.

Oh yes its cool idea but we were looking for some automated stuff. How can we do it other way? Can you guys just give us a hint? Like how it should be done in short. This way I can hire a developer and I know how long it takes and how much. Just give me a hint.

Hi Andreas,

The process would go like this:

1) You require that the registrant be logged in to register for the event.
2) The developer may add a conditional to check whether the current logged in user already has a completed registration for this event.
3a) If the conditional returns true, a message gets displayed informing them they’ve already registered and the registration isn’t processed.
3b) If the conditional returns false, the registration process goes to the next step.

Hi Josh,

Ok its cool but I am worried about edits, If developer edit it in your plugin what when your plugin get updates.

Will he make another plugin to insert his code?

Regards

Yes, a competent developer will not make edits to the core plugin, but instead, they’ll use the WordPress plugin API to make a new plugin to extend the basic functionality.
