 * Is there a way to forward an event created in the plugin to a different website?
   Sometimes I need to just forward to a festivals website for instance, and there
   isn’t an option to link in the plugin. Thank you!

 * it’s not possible out the box at the moment. it may be possible with custom coding
   but unfortunately we are quite limited with regards to custom coding as per the
   support policy – [http://eventsmanagerpro.com/support-policy/](http://eventsmanagerpro.com/support-policy/)

 * Thanks for the reply angelo_nwl
    If you have any recommended documentation you
   can link to start the custom coding, I would really appreciate. Thanks!

 * Hello caimin_nwl
    Basically all I need is an option that the events created forwards
   to another website. IE hosting an event on my site and then user clicks to another
   URL. Sounds easy but I don’t know where to incorporate this within the plugin
   code. Thank you!

 * This is the bit I’m not clear on: _forwards to another website_. What does? How?
   Do you mean you want to not use the normal Events Manager single event pages 
   at all?

 * Hi Caiman, sorry for the misunderstanding. When creating an event through the
   plugin, I would like the option for the Event to link to another website. I would
   still have this Event featured and listed on my website, but it would click-through
   to another site that contains the events information (not hosted by me).
 * To answer your question, yes this essentially means I would bypass creating a
   single events page.
 * Thanks for any input!!

 * The easiest way to do that is probably to use the custom attributes feature to
   store the URL you want to forward to for each event, then use the placeholder
   for the stored URL in the formatting boxes under Events > Settings > Formatting
   > Events.

 * Pardon me for poking in… I am always trying to learn from what other people are
   trying to accomplish.
 * Thanks Caimin for your suggestions.
 * This topic really confused me until I read the last OP post.
 * What it really sounds like you are trying to do…
    Is if somebody clicks on the
   Event you created.. it goes to the website (festival) that the Event is “talking”
   about.
 * This (if I am understanding you correctly) is a redirect.
    Which can be achieved
   with plugins… or manually in your htaccess file.
 * But !
    `yes this essentially means I would bypass creating a single events page.`
 * It sounds like you are just trying to post a link, to another “offsite” event.
   
   But using EM to generate that link. I don’t think that is possible.
 * I think, if that is the case… I would suggest, you simple create the Event… and
   add a link to the “Official” festival or event.
 * I am not part of support, but always trying to learn what other people are trying
   to accomplish.

 * Just a follow up this morning..
 * If indeed you still would create an event on your site.. using attributes as 
   Caimin suggested here is some help.
    [http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-attributes/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-attributes/)
   and thusly use that to insert a link..
 * If you wanted to do some “work” on this project.. and actually replace the “link”
   as you originally wanted..
    I think it may be possible.. with using the #_ATT
   and writing your with a “has” statement. Something similar to these… [http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/conditional-placeholders/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/conditional-placeholders/)
