Stop Front End from auto publishing

Hi @derekgregory,

According to the explanation in this link: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/roles-and-capabilities, you should check the WordPress so see what role new users have and whether you need to deactivate guest mode from FES Form.

Let me clarify. We already have enabled event submission by guest (Not logged in) users. I want to know how to make events submitted by guest users (not logged in) not automatically publish (requiring one of our admins to approve and publish it.)

As I mentioned in my original post, it use to work this way, but with recent updates to the plugin I don’t see a way or a setting that would make this possible. Am I missing something or is this a paid feature now?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @derekgregory,

When you use event submission by guest (Not logged in), depend on the user role, user can not publish any event unless the user has published post role, please head over to this link: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/#capability-vs-role-table

To manage user role go to WordPress Settings > General > New User Default Role and select “Subscriber” on the dropdown menu.
Then, when users submit a new event on your website, they need to admin review.

Best Regards
