In event espresso if someone registers for an event their user account is created. In case someone registers more than 1 user lets suppose 8 users in that case user account is created only for Primary registrant in wordpress.
What about the other 7 users? How do we make sure that the other user accounts are also created in wordpress in case of multiple registrations for an event.

Hi there,

Event Espresso considers the primary registrant to be the ‘payee’ and the one managing payments for the group, so for the default behaviour of Event Espresso, we only need an account only for the primary registrant.

What about the other 7 users? How do we make sure that the other user accounts are also created in wordpress in case of multiple registrations for an event.

It is possible to do this with a custom snippet we have here:

https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-wp-user/jf_ee_process_multi_wpuser_for_attendees.php

However, why do you need user accounts for each registrant? The reason I ask is using the above to create them still may not do what you need.

Ok, so the above snippet will create those users for you and should work for that use case.

It will create all of the users using the role you set in for that specific event.

You can add that to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

It removes the original function and replaces it with one to create users for each registration.
