    Hello everyone!

    For some years now, I have been running a sewing-related blog and now would love to start promoting my sewing workshop and also manage enrollment via my blog.

    I have tried the teach press plugin and loved the interface, but I found I would need to get students to register as users in my blog and feel somewhat uncomfortable with this. I briefly thought about adding another plugin to keep the new users out of the dashboard but then I realized that I should maybe use a different plugin to begin with.

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a plugin that handles event management well, if possible without having attendees register as blog users? I am on expert on coding But I heard that some plugins can really slow down WP with unnecessary processes and of course I would love to avoid that. I did a quite extensive search in the forums here but found either entries that were quite dated or targeted event registrations on a much bigger scale.

    Please note that my teaching activity is on a really small scale – at the moment there are maybe 3-4 workshops per semester with up to 8 students each. Payment will be handled offline, so there’s no need for an online payment interface.

    Thank you very much for your help, and if I left anything unclear (English in not my first language, as you may have noticed) please don’t hesitate to ask and I will be happy to give you further details.

    Kind regards,
    Sinje

    I hope you find what you are looking for, but in case you do not, there is nothing to be concerned about in allowing students to register. A subscriber role has no capabilities to do anything but read entries. It makes sense to use the WordPress user system for students instead of creating a parallel system that does nearly the same thing. A custom student role could be added, and all such users could be cleared every semester to keep the user page clutter to a minimum.

    For the scale of your workshops, if you add the paid users, instead of letting people add themselves, you will not have any problems with unwanted registration attempts.
