Missing “Events => Form fields” page

Check the EME settings page, tab “Access”, to see if you have the required access for “Edit form fields”
And see if you can access wp-admin/admin.php?page=eme-formfields afterwards.

Thanks for the reply. That would make sense, but doesn’t seem to be working.

I’m the administrator. The required access for “Edit form fields” on our site is “Edit others posts”. I regularly edit my wife’s posts, so I do have that permission.

** I also have no trouble adding locations or editing events created in EME. These use the same “Edit others posts” permission.

(you’re correct though, when I try to directly access the Form Fields tool via your URL above, I get a permission error)

Any suggestions?

btw, I decided to set the “Edit form fields” to “All users” and it had no effect. Logged out and logged back in as my wife, she couldn’t access it either.

Let me check if I didn’t mess up those permissions …
But I’m also admin at 2 websites and I can see the formfields page just fine …

Can you check if the file “eme_formfields.php” exists?
And that in events-manager.php, you see the following line at around line 1022:

$plugin_page = add_submenu_page('events-manager', __('Form Fields','eme'),__('Form Fields','eme'), get_option('eme_cap_forms'), "eme-formfields", 'eme_formfields_page');

I can’t reproduce the prob at all here …

That’s strange. I was hoping I wasn’t the only person having the issue. I did both checks you suggested, and both seem fine.

Are you aware of any known plugin conflicts? Anything I should be looking for? How would I test for this?

The other sub-menu items I see are as follows:

• Edit
• Add new
• Locations
• Categories
• Templates
• Cleanup
• Settings

Am I missing anything else in the menu?

All good.

I took a minute to look at the code in events-manager.php around line 1022, and found that the items missing in the menu will only show if I have selected “Use RSVP” in the General Settings window.

Once I selected “Use RSVP” and clicked Save Changes, a bunch of new items appeared in the sub-menu AND I was granted permission to see the related pages. I guess there’s some logic to that, although I had wanted to build the RSVP tool before “turning it on”.

The permission issue ended up being a red herring.

Franky, sorry I wasted your time. I guess if anyone else comes across the same issue, this thread might give them the simple solution. Cheers.

Well, the form fields are only usable in the RSVP form, so … that’s the logic ??
But no worries: until you use #_ADDBOOKINGFORM or so, nobody will see anything about your RSVP build. And you can also create draft or private events for testing.
