Also, this happens with all the plugins disabled.
try to check user capabilities under Events > Settings > General > User Capabilities and make sure that edit_events is ticked and publish_events is unticked if you want event approval before posting

Unfortunately, that also appears to be set correctly. It will let me submit events as an admin, but subscribers can’t no matter what I do.
Seems something is going screwy in the code, rather than the settings…
Hiya,
You said it “doesn’t allow subscribers to submit an event” but how exactly? What do you see on the page where you’ve added the event form shortcode? Are there any errors?
Thanks

philipjohn – Sorry for the delay. My reply didn’t post the first time.
It says:
“Submit Your Event
Unauthorized Access
You do not have the rights to manage this Event.”
But, subscribers DO have permission to edit events. And it doesn’t change when i also give them permission to publish events.
I’m stumped.
Do you have distinct page selected for Edit events page under Events > Settings > Pages > Other Pages? There needs to be a page selected and it must be different from the Manage bookings page.

Well, I’ve solved the problem: I switched to Events Calendar, with a $60 Community Events add-on.
Not a big fan of Events Manager – so many hoops to jump through, all the suggestions for bugs amount to telling you to manage the setup properly. Events Calendar took a tenth of the time and works without any issues.
