How to Let Guests Register, or Make People Log In, in Eventonomy

How to let guests register, or make people log in, in Eventonomy, step by step. One setting covers every event: Eventonomy, then Settings, then Registration, Do attendees need an account? It has three choices. Create an account automatically lets a visitor register with a name and an email and offers an account at that address. Guest, no account never creates one. Must log in replaces the form with a prompt to log in. See the form a guest gets, then the event when logged out and as a member once Must log in is saved.

In this tutorial you will choose who can register for your events in Eventonomy: any visitor, or only people who log in. You need the free Eventonomy plugin, and one published event. It takes about three minutes. There are five steps. Find the setting. See what a guest gets. Make people log in. See the event when logged out. Then see it as a member. Step one. Find the setting. In your WordPress admin, open Eventonomy, then Settings, then Registration. In the RSVP card, find Do attendees need an account? It has three choices, and the one you save covers every event on your site. It starts on Create an account automatically. A visitor registers with a name and an email, and gets an account at that address. Guest, no account takes the same name and email, and never creates an account. The line under the list says how a guest gets back to a registration: through the secure link in their email. Step two. See what a guest gets. This is an event page, not signed in, with the setting on its first choice. The form asks for Your name and an Email. Under the email, a ticked box offers an account at that address. The visitor can untick it, and register with no account. An email that already has an account is matched to it. Either way, the confirmation email has a secure link back to the registration. Register, at the foot of the form, takes the place. Step three. Make people log in. Back in Settings, then Registration, open the same list and choose Must log in. Use it when only people with an account on your site may come to your events. Then click Save changes. Step four. See the event when logged out. With Must log in saved, a visitor finds no form. The box asks them to log in. If your site allows sign-ups, it also offers to create an account. Register, at the top of the page, now goes to the login screen, and brings them back to the event after. Step five. See it as a member. Now signed in as a member, on another event. The form is back. It asks for no name and no email, because the member has an account. Register takes the place. That is all five. The setting found, the guest form seen, Must log in chosen, the event seen when logged out, and the same form seen as a member. You decide who can sign up for your events. Next in this series: Ask questions on the RSVP form.
