Where does data from an added field go?

    So I’ve added a field to my event form called Organizer Email because I just want organizers to provide an email in case I need to contact them.

    However, I can’t see this information anywhere after somebody submits a form. It doesn’t show up on their event in the back end. Where does it go? Adding a field is only helpful if I can get the information that is submitted.

    Hi @erikrolfsen ,

    We already have feature to add organizer in events and you will see on back-end as shown in below screenshot.

    But, if you want to show organizer email which is added in your custom field then you have to use below filter in your (child)theme functions.php file:

    apply_filters(‘wp_event_manager_cpt_event_column’, $columns);

    You can write filter like :

    function add_custom_cpt_event_column($columns) {

        $columns[‘organizer_email_id’] = __(‘Organizer Email’, ‘wp-event-manager’);

        return $columns;

    }

    Here, in ‘organizer_email_id’ you must have to pass your meta key of organizer email.

    I hope that this will be used to resolve your query.

    Thank you.

    This doesn’t really answer my question. How does an admin access the information that a visitor has entered into a custom field? I don’t understand the point of a custom field if the information just goes into a black hole. Shouldn’t it be visible somewhere on the back end? Thanks.

    Hi @erikrolfsen ,

    You can view custom field from backend by edit the event or by view the event as shown in below screenshots :

    on backend, after edit event :

    on backend, after click on “view” icon, will open single-event page on front-end and you will see additional information block where you can see your custom field value :
