I have the same problem, but the account I was testing with, was missing the ‘manage_others_booking’ capability. When I added this the account role, it was working again.
@gvenk Thanks for that – it may help others in this thread.
Thank you gvenk. That seems to have solved it on my end. Much appreciated!
I too have this issue (WP 4.3, EM 5.6). Currently my work around is to update the event_status field in the wp_em_events table from NULL to 1. Any other advice on how to solve this would be great
I also noticed that the default value for ‘spaces’ changed from 99 to 10. I can’t seem to find where that is defined.
And while I’m asking: a setting to define a default start time would be nice too 🙂
I began having the same problem very recently. I can’t publish events. Even events that were previously published, if updated they remain in draft status. I tried all the suggestions mentioned in this thread.
If I go to the listing of all events and use the Quick Edit Link, I can publish from there but not from the event itself.
I have WordPress version 4.2.1
Events Manager version 5.6
Events Manager Pro version 2.4
PHP version is 5.3.3
Just updated pro to version 2.4.2 latest version and still same issue
update: I have a test site with the same theme, on the same server and all the same plugins. This one has events manager version 5.5.6 and pro version 2.3.9 and that one works fine.
All,
There is a new Dev version of both the free and Pro version of the plugin that may help with these issues. Here’s info on how to switch to the Dev version of the plugin:

It’s also well worth checking the user capabilities for the account you’re using to publish events. You can do this under Events > Settings > General > User Capabilities.
You might also want to check for other plugins, themes or custom code that could be interferring with your ability to publish.
Thanks, I already checked the user capabilities. I’m the admin and all the capabilities were selected. I have the same exact site as a test site, same everything including plugins, theme, etc. The only difference is the versions of the Event Manager Plugins.
In that case, I’d recommend switching to the Dev versions of the plugin. It should provide a fix.
