Thank you.

My question was how do I change the default event type? I do not want what it is currently defaulting to. I would like it to default to Webinar.

Hi @lswebs ,

for that you need to customize code in template file : wp-content\plugins\wp-event-manager\templates\form-fields\term-multiselect-field.php

You need to override this file at your theme functions.php file and customize that overwritten file. you need to put proper condition that term is

if($field[‘taxonomy’]==event_listing_type){

$selected = <your_default_term_id>;

}

If you need any further help then please write your issue.

Thank you.

Sorry, but I really don’t understand what you are saying I need to do.

Specifically on this page https://www.nonprofit.courses/submit-event-form I want Event Type to default to Webinar.

Hi @lswebs ,

You need to first override template file : wp-content\plugins\wp-event-manager\templates\form-fields\term-multiselect-field.php

You can read doc for How to override template file from : https://wp-eventmanager.com/knowledge-base/how-override-archive-template/

In your theme side template file term-multiselect-field.php, you need to add code on line no.12

if($field[‘taxonomy’]==event_listing_type){

$selected = 1390;

}

This will definitely resolve your issue.

Thank you.

Thanks for your help, that made sense to me and I think I did what you wrote, but it did not change the default.

I copied term-multiselect-field.php into wp-content/themes/lifterlms-launchpad/wp-event-manager. I then copied the code above. But the default on the form still remains as Networking Event – In Person.

I’ll copy the code I have here:

<?php

// Get selected value

if (isset($field['value'])) {

    $selected = $field['value'];

} elseif (!empty($field['default']) && is_int($field['default'])) {

    $selected = $field['default'];

} elseif (!empty($field['default']) && ($term = get_term_by('slug', $field['default'], $field['taxonomy']))) {

    $selected = $term->term_id;

} else {

    $selected = '';

}

if($field['taxonomy']==event_listing_type) {

    $selected = 1390;

}

wp_enqueue_script('wp-event-manager-term-multiselect');

$args = array(

    'taxonomy'     => $field['taxonomy'],

    'hierarchical' => 1,

    'name'         => isset($field['name']) ? $field['name'] : $key,

    'orderby'      => 'name',

    'selected'     => $selected,

    'hide_empty'   => false

);

if (isset($field['placeholder']) && !empty($field['placeholder'])) 

    $args['placeholder'] = $field['placeholder'];

event_manager_dropdown_selection(apply_filters('event_manager_term_multiselect_field_args', $args));

if (!empty($field['description'])) : ?>

    <small class="description">

        <?php echo esc_textarea($field['description']); ?>

    </small>

<?php endif; ?>

Hi @lswebs ,

You must have to paste your file in “wp-content/themes/lifterlms-launchpad/wp-event-manager/form-fields”, not in “wp-content/themes/lifterlms-launchpad/wp-event-manager/”, this wi;; definitely resolve your issue. If you still getting issue then please open support ticket on : https://support.wp-eventmanager.com/portal/en/signin

Thank you.

Thanks, I am able to get Webinar as the default now. I got an error at first, so I had to put if($field[‘taxonomy’]==’event_listing_type’) instead.

One more question please! How do I change the default for Online Event from No to Yes?

Hi @lswebs ,

To change default value for “Online Event” for submit event, you need to add apply below filter(code) in your theme(or child theme) functions.php file.

add_filter('submit_event_form_fields', 'set_default_submit_event_form_fields');

function set_default_submit_event_form_fields($fields){

    $fields['event']['event_online'] = array(

                'label' => __('Online Event','wp-event-manager'),                                  

                'type'  => 'radio',

                'default'  => 'yes',

                'options'  => array(

                            'yes' => __( 'Yes', 'wp-event-manager'),

                            'no' => __( 'No', 'wp-event-manager')

                     ),

                'priority'    => 4,

                'required'=>true

             );

    return $fields;

}
