    Is there a way to add in field placeholders (ie. name, address, etc) for the form fields on the front end submission form? We are using custom attributes and event placeholders.

    For instance, people are inputting the incorrect information in the form fields because there is no text in the field to guide them. So field placeholders would be a HUGE help.

  • To do that you’d need to create a custom version of this template:
    /events-manager/templates/forms/event-editor.php

    So i have that already, I’m just not sure where/how to do field placeholders for the custom placeholders that we’ve used in our functions.php to have the social media fields. See code: 

    // #_ATT{Instagram}
            case 'has_att_instagram':
                if (is_array($EM_Event->event_attributes) && !empty($EM_Event->event_attributes['Instagram']))
                    $replacement = preg_replace('/\{\/?has_att_instagram\}/', '', $match);
                else
                    $replacement = '';
                break;

    you can try the suggestion of caimin editing event-editor.php and from there you can add input text placeholders.
