# Using WordPress native 'Pending Review'

 * To cut a long story short, besides the obvious label differences, are there any
   other differences between the Event and Locations custom type?
    Anything that
   prevents me from using the native wordpress ‘pending review’ function, because
   you have your own ‘approve’ function?
 * I ask this ‘silly’ question because I am using a form plugin called formidable
   pro. With it, I made a form that allows users to submit locations that go to 
   the “pending review’ status. It then redirects the user to the post that is under
   review (just so they can see what it looks like). It works perfectly.
 * It doesn’t work the same for Events. Is it because there are more limits to the
   events post type?

 * Also I have already asked the form plugin creators, they think the way the Event
   custom post type is registered could be the cause.

 * Hi Angelo, thanks for the reply.
 * Does your answer mean that its not possible for you to check now?….or does your
   answer mean that i cannot submit using that plugin due to restrictions on the
   Event post type which cannot be changed?
 * If the latter can you tell me where to find the php that registers the post type
   so that I can do some trial an error tests on my part?
 * thanks.

 * I mean this isn’t possible out of the box (integrating the two plugin) but still
   doable by custom php coding which unfortunately I can’t help you out since I 
   haven’t use formidable pro before.
 * “where to find the php that registers the post type”
    – try events-manager/em-
   posts.php

 * This is because EM registers specific custom field values like _event_start_date,
   _location_id and many more, in order to provide event meta info.
 * additionally, we store all that in a seperate wp_em_events table that links the
   post to an event id.
 * you’d need to create a script that intercepts formidable’s logic and create the
   event using our EM_Event objects, you may be able to get away with firing the
   get_post_meta and save_post_meta functions.
