We would like to prevent users from registering more than once for an event, how do we limit this?
At this moment users are able to register multiple times for a single event which is not what we want.
What can we do to prevent this?

Hi Omar,
The only function we have in Event Espresso that might assist with prohibiting attendees from registering multiple times is the pre-approval feature. That will allow you to pre-approve your attendees to register so you don’t get duplicates.

Hi Garth,
Thanks for your answer. Only thing is that this is not the right solution for us.
Since it’s a member only site and people can register for any training they want they should be able to register instantly. How could we accomplish this?

beside the above question, would the pre-approve prevent the user from registering a second time? or is this something the admin needs to review every time before accepting or denying registration. Still looking forward to know how we can accomplish this? a function so either you’re registered or you’re not. Not that you are registered 10 times. Hope to hear from you

Hi Omar,
The Pre-approval does not stop registration, but the emails/tickets etc aren’t available until the Admin gives the go ahead, so yes the Admin has to review each one.
Whilst we do not have a system in place, I did create a custom function for a previous forum user, which works for member sites that are using the WP User Integration add on.
What it does is, if the user is logged in and has registered for an event, it will display a message that they have already registered for the event.
It doesnt stop them from re-registering though. I suppose it could be modified to programmatically show or hide the register button/form though.
The code can be found here. https://gist.github.com/Apina/f11b5ce2db10f7b3bb93
It isn’t official in that it wont be supported or merged into core, and any customisations you do are not covered under our support policy, so please use at your own risk.
