Hi,

I think most of that can be done with a standard membership plugin, Event Espresso and the WP User Integration plugin.

The hardest part would be the initial form that is used before they gain access to the site, and that shouldn’t be too hard for a developer (Gravity Forms would probably work well here).

We have a list of recommended developers here: https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/

Hi,

I have installed EE3 and created my event and registration page. I have also installed WP User PLugin.

What i want to do is when they register they get a email / password combination to login back into a members area.

I found this code on GIT put and added it to function.php but i cant get it working properly.
https://gist.github.com/Apina/9596012#file-espresso_create_wp_user-php

I loose formatting on the page and my submit button disappers I have a few questions

1. Is this the correct way of doing this? Is there better way?
2. I do not want them to register on my wordpress site and then register for the event also
3. If i use the above code where does the user the login?

Thanks for your help quite confused!!

That code snippet for EE3 should create a new WP user and send the information via email.

Since they are a WP user, then would login through the WordPress admin login page.

Here is another option:

Hi Gary,

Whilst EE will create a User within the WP Users table we do not handle members in any other way.

What that snippet does is create a WP User with the details provided when they register onto the event (First Name, Last Name, Email at a minimum)

This saves the users the steps of registering onto the site and then onto the event.

1. Is this the correct way of doing this? Is there better way?

It depends on what your trying to achieve, as mentioned the snippet just creates a new user in the same way that a standard user would be created.

2. I do not want them to register on my wordpress site and then register for the event also

Can you explain a little more here please? The snippet does creates the user as they register onto an event, then after they login if they register onto another event their WP member details will be used.

3. If i use the above code where does the user the login?

Are you using a Members plugin at all? By default the user would log into WordPress using the standard login for example – example.com/wp-admin or http://www.example.com/wp-login.php

If you email a copy of your functions.php file to support[at]eventespresso.com I’ll take a look and see if I can see any reason for the formatting issues.

Hi Gary,

It turns out that there are plugins that you can install that will keep them on the front end. Here’s one example:

Hi,

I have the shortcode [ESPRESSO_MY_EVENTS] displaying the events on the frontpage and that is working great. The only problem is when someone logs in or goes to clicks on “Your Profile” on the my events page is sends them into the wordpress backend

You might find a plugin like this one useful:

> What table is my custom field data stored in on the database. My data is not appearing on the attendee_answer table.

Some context might help here. Just a guess, but did you look in the _usermeta table?

Hi Gary,

It turns out that we do not provide support for custom code. Where the values for the custom fields are stored depends on the method you’re using to gather the information. For example if the fields are from setting up a registration form via the Event Espresso question manager, the values will be recorded to the _events_answer table.
