Can this plugin allow registered site visitors to add an event to the “regular” Event Calendar page… not just to the user’s profile? I would like the events, once approved, to appear on the calendar. I think my question is similar to the one posted above.
This is the default feature of Event Calendar plugin itself. 🙂
Hi,
I’m wondering the same thing as the previous two people.
Can an ultimate member member post an event to Events calendar that is seen publicly by everyone else who visits the website?
I mean are all the events posted through your plugin going to appear on Events Calendar and be visible to everyone?
Yes, all the events posted/created through Ultimate Member Events Calendar plugin are actually stored as Events of “Events Calendar” plugin and appears publicly to be seen by everyone on Events Calendar. However, various privacy settings of the plugin “Events Calendar” & “UM Events Calendar” do apply to the visibility.
Thanks !
hi,
we are using the event calendar community events is there a way to add the community add event form instead of the add event form that there now

Hi Danny,
Currently, the form to add new event is constant and can’t be changed.
Thanks
Can you add support for Event Espresso?
Hi Collins,
Currently this is not in our feature list. However we will consider making it once we are done with other priority tasks. Please let me know if you would like to do it sooner as per https://www.plusplugins.com/downloads/wordpress-development-support/ .Thanks !
Can you set specific users to see specific events or just user roles?
For example, if I have 2 users that both have the “subscriber” role and I want user A to see the event but not user B could I do that?
Thanks,
Currently, this is not possible. However custom coding can be done to achieve the same. Thanks
