 * HI,
 * You helped me out with the edit event issue I was having thank you ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-event-without-going-into-back-of-wordpress?replies=5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-event-without-going-into-back-of-wordpress?replies=5))
   but I also wanted to add copy to that page but when you select it as the edit
   event page under settings it doesn’t show anything that I add to the page. I 
   even put CONTENT before and after what I wrote and it’s still not showing up.
   Was wondering if there is a short code I could use instead of selecting the page
   so I can get the text to show up.
 * Thank you
 * Susan

 * Thanks. Do you have that page set as the “Edit events page” under Events > Settings
   > Pages > Other Pages?

 * HI, yes I do that is when it knocked off the text. What I have done in the mean
   time is put the text as a widget on the side. Is there shortcode for the edit
   events to work or does it only work if you place it in the pages other pages 
   area?
 * We really wanted text on there telling people what to do. That is why we are 
   asking. I noticed when we were creating the event’s page that it strips all text
   away so we are using the short code for those pages and was hoping that maybe
   the edit we could do the same.
 * Thanks again for you help

 * If you use this shortcode for the submission form…
 * [event_form]
 * …you should be able to add content above and below it.

 * Thanks Yes I am using that on the events page but I was asking about if you have
   short code for the edit function?

 * Hello,
 * Sorry for the delay I think I figured how a workaround. But I do have a question
   on how to not allow people into he back end of wordpress When they login to edit
   there events which they can do on the page but if they look up top they can still
   access the dashboard is there a way to block them out from that?
