Detach Future Attendees from Current WP DB

Hi,

I want people I already have in my database to register for an event.

I turned off the WP User Integration settings that require login (did not completely uninstall plugin) but I can’t register for an event with an email address that is already in my database.

Is it possible to have people register with an email that is already in my database, but not have to login?

Thanks,
J

Hi there,

Yes, it is.

You can disable the user traffic cop feature by adding the following code to your site:

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

Thanks Toni,

What would be the biggest disadvantage of this?

Would it be possible to then reactivate WP User Integration in the future, and then link EE contacts to WP users and/or create WP users if the email doesn’t exist?

Essentially that you can have registrations that aren’t linked with current users.

It’s important to note that only registrations made that match the current users details will be linked to their account and show on their ‘My Events’ section of the WP User Intergration add-on.

Sorry but I’m not sure I follow this, can you rephrase?

Manually linking EE Contacts to WP users?

You can still continue to create users from registrations with the above filter active if needed, or do you not want EE to create users?
