That’s probably not a bad idea… once again thanks for the help !

Thank you, thanks to your explanations, this is a huge success !

Do you know if there is a way for users to delete an event they created directly from the frontend page ?

Oh I think I get it, I have to create the directory myself…

nevermind there is no such folder as ‘events made easy’ in /wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/
So it’s really a mystery

So I assume it is safe to copy the form.php file that was in the plugin directory into ./wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/events-made-easy/ right ?

P.S : the directory called wp content/uploads also doesn’t contain a folder named ‘events made easy frontend submit’

1- Thank you, I think the reason I went there is that I found nothing in any of the other directories that were described in the FAQ. I was able to find some folders named ‘Events made Easy’, but no folders named ‘Events made Easy frontend submit’ so I started looking everywhere and found this folder there in the plugin directory.
One thing that I might have missed is where the WP UPLOAD DIR is… I assumed that was the root of my WordPress folder, but then again no trace of a folder named ‘events-made-easy-frontend-submit’ there…

2- Thank you, this helps me understand better, I think I will manage this part now

Thank you very much, may I suggest adding this to the FAQ :
In order to modify the form appearing by default on the frontend submission, you need to edit (or replace) the form.php file located in
wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy-frontend-submit/templates/ ( <= this directory wasn’t in the FAQ)

In spite of my non existent php skills, I managed to delete the parts that I didn’t need and now the frontend form looks the way I wanted it. forgive my poor skills I think I’m on the right track. I now would like to edit the event list template. I have read the documentation but am still unable to figure out where this template file is located… any hint ?
The documentation is quite extensive and seems very well made but as a constructive comment I think it is out of reach for many people who have very little coding skills (in spite of having two engineering degrees here). Nonetheless I highly appreciate the gift you are making the community with this plugin.

Thank you that was super helpful, I managed to create the frontend form and to generate events from it.

Now I am looking into two things that I cannot figure out :
1- Remove some fields from the frontend form (all information about the location, URL, email body, and if possible description and category) basically I just need the event name, start day and end day (hours aren’t necessary).
I understand this can maybe be made from the command lines EMEFS::field(‘xxx’)
But I’m not sure where to type this command line (I tried on the wordpress page directly, but didn’t work) should that happen in the form.php file ?

2- how to display the list of events with only the events names, and not the dates OR with the events names and the dates including end date.

Thank you again,
Roman

Thank you very much, I switched plugins for one that allowed me to make restriction exceptions. The extension is called restrict user access and works great !

That works perfectly, thanks a lot !

do you know of any way to have an image behind the form as well ?

oh wait sorry, it does, couldn’t see it as I was logged in

Thank you, nothing happens ??

Thank you for your answer, I just did, but nothing seems to happen
