Plugin Description
Whether you’re holding a meetup, class, workshop, tournament, or any other kind of event, you need a way to handle registration. Our plugin makes managing event registration easy and simple. Even nontechnical users can set up the plugin and start collecting registrations within minutes. Create a simple RSVP registration form or a more complex form with custom fields. All registrations are recorded in your database for easy event management. Customize confirmation and notification emails to keep your attendees, as well as your event managers, informed.
Parent Plugin
In order for the Registrations for the Events Calendar to work properly, you need to install its parent plugin, The Events Calendar. (Both are free.)
Quick to Set Up and Easy to Get Started
As soon as you install and activate the plugin, you can begin collecting event registrations on the single event page for all of your events. You can also customize the placement of the form on the single event page or on any other page using a shortcode or the block editor.
Uses
The plugin can be used for more than event registration. Here are other things the plugin is currently being used for.
- RSVP for meetings
- Class registration or simple class management
- Sports club registration
- Venue booking
- Webinar sign-ups
- Private instructor booking
- Virtual events
- Pickleball tournament registration
User-Friendly Features
- Reduce incomplete event registrations by limiting the entire process to a single page (AJAX form submit).
- Keep your event page uncluttered (your event registration form is hidden initially and revealed by clicking a customizable “Register” button).
- Follow-up with your attendees with a customizable confirmation email.
- Save entries in a database table for easy event registration management.
- Attendees can unregister (cancel registration) using a link sent in an email.
Highly Customizable
- Add as many text fields as you’d like to the event registration form.
- Add the event registration form to one of several parts of the page your event is displayed on.
- Choose how the form displays. Reveal on click, pop-up modal window, or displayed fully.
- Display the event registration form anywhere on your site with shortcodes or our event registration Gutenberg block.
- Customize the labels, error messages, directions for your attendees, and which fields are required.
- Customize both the email templates sent to your attendees and the notification email sent to the event manager.
- Limit the number of registrations per event.
- Make event registration for logged-in users only.
- Display a list of current registered attendees.
- Specify a registration deadline (both date and time).
