Problems with Event Manager Zoom plugin

Hi,

I’m going to let the Devs know about this.

My problem is, the site where I have events manager installed and want to use zoom, locations are not part of the events manager. I have installed this plugin on may other site and the locations are showing, but not on this site.So strange, I have successfully installed zoom though.

Hello, sorry for the delayed reply. I’ve reviewed your thoughts and have some replies:

Start Meeting URL link will start a meeting at any time using the account of the hosting account.
This is clearly dangerous. There should be an option to hide this from some categories of users using the Events > Settings > General > User Capabilities.

I partly agree. It’s possible to display the start url via placeholders and that shouldn’t be possible for security reasons, only to those that can edit the event. That’ll be resolved in the next update.

As for those with edit rights to the event, I think the author and event admins should be able to modify the meeting, given modifying the event dates would also modify the meeting too. I’m open for discussion on that when we make it possible for individual event submitters to connect to their own private Zoom account and not use the website Zoom account.

There is an option Passcode when you create an event but no option to either enable or disable the passcode.

A few months ago Zoom made passcodes a requirement. If you don’t set a passcode, one is set for you by Zoom.

If the event requires authorisation, the user can then come in and change any of the Zoom settings, which might not be what the authoriser wants. There should be a requirement to either re-authorise changes or prevent them.

Not sure what you mean here exactly… if by ‘authorization’ you mean approving an event before publication, and by ‘user’ you mean the person creating/submitting the event; then the user would by default send the event into ‘pending review’ which would require the event to be re-approved to get published on your site again.

The installation instructions on https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/location-types/zoom/ is neither complete nor entirely accurate. For example, it does not explain which page you need to visit in order to create an app.

We’ve updated the page with more clear instructions on where to start, if we’ve missed something else let us know!

I am getting the following error after I click on Install after going thru the steps of creating an App. “There was an error connecting to Zoom: No State Provided”
It ask me to authorize and I accept, then it takes me back to WP and I get the above message.

Can anyone help?

@juliekoehne please open a new thread, this is an unrelated to the original question.

I’d recommend trying this out with other plugins deactivated temporarily and using a default theme, you can try this quickly with my WP Safe Mode plugin.
