Duplicate events

    Hello,

    Our installation uses WPML to handle translations, and we’ve created a custom taxonomy to apply to events as well. When we try to duplicate events, most of it works correctly, but there are some details that do not get copied along: Events Manager own fields and Advanced Custom Fields applied to the event are correctly copied, but the term assigned to the custom taxonomy does not. Same thing happens with translations. When we duplicate an event that has a translation, the translation does not include information related to the custom taxonomy applied to the original event. Also, when we create an event as private, and then duplicate it, the new event is created as public, which is a problem, because sometimes we need to create them as private to make them not visible at the frontend, and create several ones that are very similar, but we need to go through the duplicates to make sure they get to private status again.

    Are these known issues? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    just to confirm, did you mean you created custom taxonomy aside from default EM custom taxonomy (event categories) ?

    Yes Angelo, that is correct. Aren’t custom taxonomies copied over? If not, that’s fine. I can understand if that is not supported by the plugin. But I’m more concerned about the private events getting copied as published. Let me know about that, please. Thanks a lot!

    Which version of Events Manager and WordPress are you using?

    How are you doing the duplicating of events?

    I’m using version 5.7.3.

    To duplicate the events, after I have created the initial one (as private), I go to the list of events, roll over the event title, and then click on the “Duplicate” link that shows below it. That leads to an event edit page, where I get the fields pre-populated. I see now that I can change the “Visibility” option to “Private” before publishing, but shouldn’t the pre-populated visibility option there match the original visibility option for the event (in this case, “private”)?

    Also, what about the custom additional taxonomy terms?

    Thanks a lot.

    at the moment you might need to hook into em_event_duplicate filter to save your custom taxonomies as well; em_event_duplicate is located for reference at classes/em-event.php
