    hi – i have read all the support questions about modifying the event_form but cannot find the answer i need… I have copied my folder from the plugin folder to the theme/plugin folder to retain theme formatting and i’m ready to edit event-editor.php …. problem is that i dont know how to do this. All i would like is very simply to include “Event Website” in the submission form because what event doesnt have a website? (note: could this be a default in an update?) I don’t believe I want to do this using attributes because that would not check that the input data is actually a website……
    However, I dont know the correct way to add this and am a newbie in php sooo hence my question.
    Thinking it might be something like #_EVENTURL but am not sure.
    Need concrete advice-pretty please…
    TIA

    (Ps. this is the most well supported and adaptable plug in that i have used to date. great job)

  • hi,

    copy template file wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/event-editor.php to your current theme directory at wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/event-editor.php then do your customization However you can try custom event attributes at Events > Settings > General > General Options > Enable event attributes? (choose Yes) then add an attribute to Events > Settings > General > General Options > Event Attributes e.g. #_ATT{event_website} then you can used #_ATT{event_website} in your settings > Formatting > events

    Better yet, if you call the attribute

    Event Website

    instead of event_website, that’s what you’ll see as your label on the form too. Just make sure you use #_ATT{Event Website} to show the values too.

    Thank you both so much for the quick reply. The solution of Event Website works out great.

    Two more questions if you don’t mind-

    1) I had already copied the template files as outlined above into my themes folder. However the form is still showing up in what looks to be courier not Arial like the rest of the page. What am I doing wrong?

    2) how do i make the attributes input box longer? Is there a way to define the box size for each attribute question, or, at minimum, change the box size for all attribute input? I thought i would find a setting in attributes.php or attributes-public.php but did not.

    TIA, I really appreciate it.

    1. did you try to inspect the html elements to see if it’s a css issue?

    2. you can do this using css styling and your theme style.css
