Is it possible to create an event without a price?

I would like to include in my EE event list and calendar an event at which I will be speaking later this year. The event is a writers’ conference with its own registration/payment, etc., and the pricing is complicated because attendees can register for a single day at one price or the entire conference at another price.

So I would simply like to add the event to my event list and calendar without displaying a price. If I specify a price of $0.00, the event shows up in the list as “Free Event,” which is not accurate. But any price I specify is likely to also be inaccurate.
Is there a way to hide the “Price” field completely for a single event?
Thanks.

I would like to know this too. All my events have complicated pricing (n adults + n kids, members or non-members). Members and non-members don’t depend on the login-status, the price depends on the persons membership in our club, which is independent of the member-status on the website.

Shouldn’t start to get to know a plug-in in an unfamiliar language at midnight…

At least for me this is clear now. I created my own event_list_display.php and put it in \wp-content\uploads\espresso\templates along with a copy of event_list.php. This now allows me to customize the event list as I wish.

That doesn’t solve my issue. Most of my events have straightforward pricing and are registered for directly on the site. I want to be able to specify for an individual event whether or not the price is shown — which I need to be able to do for events that I am just posting as information with a link to the registration somewhere else.

Hello Roger,

As it is just the one event it is quite easy to do with a little CSS.

For the event list – Add the following to your themes style.css file or via a plugin like My Custom CSS:

#event_data-X .event_price {display:none; }

Note that the X needs to be changed to a number, in this case the ID of the event (you can find that in the Event Overview, the first column)

For the actual page – add the following

#espresso-event-id-X .event_prices { display:none; }

Now this is dependant on you using the latest version of Event Espresso 3.1.31.1 as unfortunately before that there was no id for the event which makes targeting this like this much harder.
