Using and Customizing Registration Forms

One of the most powerful features of the Event Genius plugin is its event registration feature. By default, registrations are enabled for your events. This means that a “Register” button is displayed on the event details page on your site which users can use to enter their details and attend the event, as shown below:

Customizing the Registration Form Fields

To edit the registration form that users fill out, just follow these simple steps:

1. Go to Events > Registrations in the WordPress admin menu.

2. Click on “Forms” at the top.

3. By default, your form will only include fields for basic information, such as name and email address. To add more fields, click the “Add New Field” button at the bottom of the “All Fields” section.

4. Then, select the type of field you want to add. You can choose from:

• Text
• Checkbox
• Radio
• Select (dropdown)
• Textarea (paragraph)
• Single Checkbox
• Email
• Phone

5. You can change the basic options, or click on the “Advanced” tab for more specialized settings.

6. Once you’re done creating the field, click “Save” at the bottom of the field.

7. To add the field to your form, click the “>” arrow to move it from your fields list into your form.

8. Once the field is in your form, you can drag and drop it anywhere in the form to change its order.

9. To access the field options, hover over a field and click the gear icon in the top right.

10) When you are done editing the form, click “Save Form” in the top right.

11. To customize the “Register” button displayed at the bottom of the form, edit the settings in the “Submit” fields in the “All Fields” section.

Customizing the Form Emails and Messages

There are multiple emails that are associated with event registrations. Settings for these can be found under the “Emails” tab at the top of the Registrations page.

Here you can select to enable or disable certain emails, edit the content, and use placeholder tags to include dynamic information in your emails.

Below are an outline of each email type and what it’s used for:

Confirmation Email

This is sent to an attendee to confirm their registration after they register for an event.

Notification Email

This is sent to you (the site owner) when an attendee registers for an event. You can specify which email address any notifications are sent to by using the setting at the top of the page.

Cancel Request Email

This is sent to an attendee when they cancel their registration to an event. It includes a link for them to confirm their cancellation before they are officially removed as an attendee.

Cancel Notification Email

This is sent to you when an attendee cancels a registration. It contains all of their registration details.

Cancel Confirmation Email

This is sent to an attendee once they confirm their cancellation using the link in the Cancel Request Email.

You can also customize the message displayed to the user after they click Submit on the registration form itself. To do this, click on the “Settings” tab at the top and update the message shown in the “Confirmed Message” setting section.
