Event CPT fields

What do you need them for? Post meta is used only as a data store and not intended to be accessed / modified directly (there is an API for that though): https://codex.wp-event-organiser.com

Thanks for the very prompt response.

I’d like to use a form/posting plugin I have (Toolset or Super Forms), that can submit custom post types, to submit Event Organiser events. Is this possible?

There is an extension for front-end event submissions.

Thanks Luke, but since the existence of an “event custom post type” is highlighted for this plugin, I’d like to know if I can harness my existing form/posting plugins which can handle CPTs, e.g. Toolset.

As Luke pointed out there is an extension. Otherwise, you should this function: https://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_insert_event.html to create events.

The reason why is that dates are stored in a custom table. That function will handle it all for you, as well ensure all the appropriate data is stored in the post meta. You won’t be able to create an event based on post meta alone.

Thank you for the explanation Stephen. Very useful.
