The Front-end Event Submission feature in Eventin Pro allows website owners to delegate event management tasks to team members or authorized users. Contributors can submit and manage events, speakers, and schedules directly from the front end through their own panel—without needing WordPress dashboard access.
Only specific roles (Administrator, Author, Editor) can use this feature, ensuring secure and controlled access. Authorized users can:
- Submit/manage events, speakers, and schedules.
- Manage tickets and attendees.
- Validate tickets using a front-end scanner.
This feature helps organizations streamline event management by empowering trusted users while keeping the site secure and centrally managed.
Note: Front-end Event Submission is not a multivendor feature. It is intended only for your own authorized users. If you want multivendor functionality—where anyone can register, submit events, and share profits—you should use the Dokan Multivendor integration.
Note: Front-end event submission is a premium feature that requires Eventin Pro. You will not be able to use the feature without Eventin Pro.
Generate and Use Shortcode #
The first step toward front-end event, speaker, and schedule submission is to generate a shortcode. It’s nothing but simple steps. Go to shortcodes from the Eventin panel and scroll a little. You will see the “Event Frontend Dashboard” Shortcode there. Click on the generate button, and a pop-up will be shown on the screen. Copy the shortcode and paste it into the page you need. Save and update the page.
Update User’s Role #
Website owners need to update the user roles to allow users to submit their events. At this moment, only users with administrator, author, and editor roles are allowed to submit the events. So, the admin needs to define all the user roles of the users.
Once you are done with the given steps, your users are ready to submit the events on your website from the front end.
Note: Users (whom you want to allow to submit the event) need to log in with the correct credentials and move the event submission page (the page where the admin added the shortcode). Then users will be able to submit the events.
Submit Speaker from Front End #
To add a speaker from the front end, go to the Speakers tab. Now, you will see the speaker and speaker group menu. From here, you can add the speaker group first.
Then, add the speaker to click on the “Add New Speaker” button and assign the speaker group to your speaker.
After clicking the button, insert the speaker details like Speaker name, designation, email, speaker logo, social information, summary, and category, and click on the Create Speaker button at the bottom.
Note: Here, the Name, Role, and Email Address * fields are required. Without filling in these fields, you can’t submit the speaker from the front end.
The Speaker is stored in the front end. You can also edit, view, and delete the speaker if you want.
Submit Schedule from Front End #
To add the event Schedule from the front end, you have to go to the Schedules tab. Now, click on the “Add New Schedule” button in order to get started and submit the schedule after inserting the information.
Now enter the schedule title, date, and other necessary information. If needed, you can add multiple schedule topics. After filling in the required details, click the Add Schedule button. Your schedule will be created successfully.
Submit Events from Front End #
Before submission of events, you can create event categories and tags.
