FAQ

The My Tickets sales information is entered in the ‘Registration Information’ panel of the My Calendar add event screen. This may be turned off in your installation. There are two places to look to enable it. First, go to My Calendar > Settings and go to the Input Settings section. If the ‘registration’ option isn’t checked, check it and save settings. Second, go to the Add Event screen. If the registration options still aren’t visible, you may need to enable them in your personal Screen Options. Open the Screen Options panel and check the option there – these are settings that apply only to your account.
