With this feature disabled, only users with registered accounts on your site may submit events. An anonymous user will be prompted to log in before accessing the submission form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that if you want site visitors to be able to register and then submit an event, you&#8217;ll need to make sure you have the <em>Anyone can register<\/em><b> <\/b>option selected on your <a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Settings_General_Screen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WordPress General Settings page<\/a>. Otherwise, only users with pre-existing accounts on your site will be able to submit events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, you&#8217;ll want to review the <em>Default status for submitted events <\/em>option since this will determine whether or not events need to be reviewed by an Administrator prior to displaying on the site. The following status options are available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Draft<\/strong> &#8211; submissions in this status will not display on the site until marked as &#8216;Published&#8217; by an Administrator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pending Review &#8211; <\/strong>This status allows admins to see more easily when a submission needs to be reviewed. Submissions in this status will not display on the site until marked as &#8216;Published&#8217; by an Administrator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Published &#8211; <\/strong>submissions in this status will be publicly accessible on your site as soon as the person submits the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2014\/10\/kb-community-submission-settings-665x171.png\" alt=\"Community Submission Settings\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2014\/10\/kb-community-submission-settings.png\"> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reviewing your Event Submission settings, you&#8217;ll want to scroll down the page a bit and review your Alert settings. This will allow you to determine who will receive email notifications when a new event is submitted. This can be important if you have chosen &#8216;Draft&#8217; or &#8216;Pending Review&#8217; for the default submission status since an Administrator will need to take action on every submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2014\/10\/kb-community-alert-settings-665x183.png\" alt=\"Community Alert Settings\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2014\/10\/kb-community-alert-settings.png\"> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The email address(es) listed there will get an email whenever an event is submitted. Here&#8217;s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2014\/10\/kb-community-email-665x218.png\" alt=\"Community Alert Email\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2014\/10\/kb-community-email.png\"> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to customize the information that displays in the Community alert email, you can override the &#8217;email-template.php&#8217; file in the Community Events plugin directory. Take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/themers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Customizing Template Files guide<\/a> for more information on performing template overrides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reCAPTCHA\">reCAPTCHA Settings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Community Events&#8217; reCAPTCHA settings are located at <strong>Events \u2192 Settings \u2192 Integrations<\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your reCAPTCHA settings are entered, it will only appear if you enabled <em>Anonymous Submissions<\/em> and the user is not logged in (i.e. not anonymous).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Managing-Community-Events-submissions-screenshot.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1950688\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"review-events\">Reviewing submitted events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After events are submitted, they appear in the event list just like any other event. As an administrator, you can review event submissions by going to your event list (by clicking on <em>Events<\/em> on the left side of the WordPress Dashboard).
