We have a conference that requires users to register for the conference over all, but includes “sub-events” that they have to check-in for. For example, a user would pay for the main conference and as part of that registration they get access to 2 general sessions and 2 dinners, each requiring the attendee to check in at said event. Is this possible? If so, what’s the best way to set it up?
One way to set this up is you use the WP User integration add-on to make sure they’ve registered for the overall conference registration before they register for the sub-events. Here’s how:
1) You activate the WP User integration add-on
2) You set up your overall conference registration event, this event does not require logging in, and you’ll set that event to create a new user account when they register for the event. The user role can be a custom role like “Conference Attendee”.
3) You set the Conference Attendee role to have a custom capability, the custom custom capability can be something like has_conference_registration. You can use a plugin like Members or User Role Editor to create the custom roles and capabilities.
4) When you set up the tickets for sub-events, these will all require the
has_conference_registration capability, and that will require the user to be logged in to the website and have already registered for the conference. There’s more information about how to set up a capability requirement in the documentation: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/wp-user-integration/#ee4usage
