i’ve tried it both ways. it seems to make no difference, curiously; i get the form again whether i say yes or no. the page that i am using for this has a title and the entirety of the contents is the shortcode
[event_form]
the anon submissions on my site belong to a user that has the subscriber role. i just tried logging in as a different subscriber and submitting an event, but it behaves the same was as not logging in (except of course the form doesn’t ask for my name or email address). still no success message, but the event shows up in the dashboard for approval, an email is sent to the site admin about the event being submitted, and upon approval an email is sent to the submitter to say it’s been published.
hmm, i see that my last post got garbled. the url after submitting had both an ampersand AND the octal character code #038semicolon. so it was like two ampersands in the url. this was using safari for a browser. when i try it with firefox it only has the ampersand. but alas still doesn’t display the success message so that #038 seems not to be the issue.
in the event manager plugin settings, should Show form again? be set to yes, or no? i’ve tried both and it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
i have been using the default event submission form all along. but in my case the wp admin page works fine. i’m using the default twentyfourteen theme, so after creating a public event, i get an email to say there is a pending event, and the Events menu item on the left side of the WP dashboard shows a little orange circle with a 1 in it. then when i click on that, it duly shows me the 1 Pending event. i publish it, and it shows up on the calendar and also an email is sent to the submitter to say the event has been published.
happily today my server or network is slow so i see that upon submit, the url changes from http://mongers.us/ascytest/?page_id=9 to http://mongers.us/ascytest/?page_id=9&success=1. that url is then overwritten with the link with just the page_id. so ‘success’ does look like it is being set for me. but the #038 is maybe why it fails?
yes, that is correct. the site admin person is duly notified, and the submitter gets an email when the item is published. but there is no indication that anything has been done when the form is submitted. it just redisplays the event input page. this seems to me like it may cause users to not think their event submission worked
Er, well, if i do, i don’t know about them. i installed wordpress the way someone would have done who had never used it before, nor has had much experience with cmses in general, but has seen a computer or two in her long life. then i went looking for plugins that would allow for a community events calendar with submissions to be approved and found events manager and wp fullcalendar.
i just approved the test posts you tried, so i hope you’ve got the success email for those? and you can see them on the calendar at http://mongers.us/ascytest/?page_id=66
i also took screenshots of the dashboard plugins page at http://mongers.us/wpprob/plugins.tiff and the entire exhaustive set of eventmanager options at http://mongers.us/wpprob/eventmanageroptions%5B1-11%5D.tiff eventmanageroptions4 is where the user capabilities start, and eventmanageroptions7 is where the settings pertaining to anonymous posting start. i’m not sure if this is helpful but there it is
thank you for your efforts!
the page i am working on is http://mongers.us/ascytest/?page_id=75
thanks again
Thank you for your reply. The only other plugin I have is the WP Fullcalendar. I did not change any of the theme settings. Per your suggestion, I did try disabling WP fullcalendar but the behaviour stays the same.
i DO have root access to the web server. Is there somewhere I might look for error messages? It runs CentOS
