## Description

Event Registration lets you publish events, collect registrations with custom questions,
manage attendees and waitlists, and record payments.

 * Events with dates, venues, capacity, waitlists, and categories
 * Ticket types with prices, limits, and sales windows
 * Custom registration questions
 * A simple two-step registration form that works with any theme, with spam protection
   built in
 * Offline payments (check, cash, pay at the door), payment receipts, and balances
 * Registrations screen with search, filters, CSV import and export
 * Calendar, upcoming events list, and “add to calendar” files
 * Blocks and shortcodes
 * Works with WordPress’s privacy tools (export and erase personal data)
 * One-time importer for Event Registration 6.x data

Version 7.0 is a complete rewrite. See the upgrade notice before updating from 6.
x.

#### Privacy

Event Registration stores the information people enter when they register (names,
contact details, answers, and payment records) in your site’s database. It does 
not send data to any external service. It integrates with WordPress’s Export and
Erase Personal Data tools, and adds suggested text to your privacy policy guide.

### External services

This plugin does not connect to any external services. It makes no remote requests
and loads no files from other websites. Calendar (.ics) files are generated on your
own site.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 3 blocks.

 *   Event Registration Shows an event's details and its registration form.
 *   Upcoming Events A list of upcoming events.
 *   Events Calendar A month calendar of events.

## Installation

 1. Install through Plugins  Add New, or upload the `event-registration` folder to `/
    wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to Event Registration  Settings.

## FAQ

### Does it take online payments?

The plugin includes offline payments (check, cash, pay at the door) with instructions
and receipts. Online payment gateways are planned as add-ons.

### How do I show events on a page?

Use the Event Registration, Events Calendar, or Upcoming Events blocks, or the shortcodes`[
evreg_event id="123"]`, `[evreg_calendar]`, and `[evreg_events]`. Each event also
has its own page with a registration form.

### I used version 6.x. Is my data safe?

Yes. Version 7.0 never modifies or deletes your 6.x data. An importer copies it 
into the new format, and you decide if and when to remove the old data.

### What happened to the Location and Coordinator modules?

They are not compatible with 7.0. After updating, administrators see a notice with
a button to deactivate them. Nothing is deactivated until you choose to. Their features
will be offered as new add-ons.

### Will my pages from 6.x still work?

Yes. The 6.x shortcodes and page tokens keep working after you import your data:`{
EVRREGIS}`, `{EVR_CALENDAR}`, `{EVR_UPCOMING}`, `[EVR_EVENTS]`, `[EVR_SINGLE]`, `[
EVR_CATEGORY]`, and `[EVR_CALENDAR]`. Old event links are redirected to the new 
event pages. `[EVR_PAYMENT]` shows where to find payment details, and the public
attendee list shortcodes (`[EVR_ATTENDEE]`, `[EVR_CUSTOM_ATTENDEE]`) are no longer
available.

### 󠀁[A great plugin and developer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-great-plugin-and-developer/)󠁿

I've used this plugin twice now, once for a golf tournament site and again for a
live event. It has worked great both times. The first payment gateway I used was
Paypal and it worked flawlessly. The second time was with Authorize.net and there
were a few issues. The developer was very friendly and responsive to addressing 
the issues. Everything works great now, even with some customization.

Would have received a 5 star if I could figure out how to use encrypted PayPal buttons
with the plugin… I found one mention of it in their forums from April 2013 ("Encrypted
buttons not available at this time"), but nothing newer.

Great tool. Like most plugins there are things I do not understand and would change.
BUT, I know you cannot make something perfect for all. Waiting for forum access 
so I can investigate resolutions for a few things.
