Limit Author List

[Anonymous]

Hi Franky,

Hope you’re well.

I’m hoping you can help, I’d like to limit the Author list when adding a new event to only specific WordPress roles. We’ve got over 8000 registered users, the Authors list seems to be pulling them all in.

I’d like to restrict this drop down list to one or two different WordPress roles to shorten the list significantly, is this possible?

Thanks,
David.

EME uses wp_dropdown_users there (see https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_dropdown_users/ ), with as “name” argument the value “event_author”.
This also means you can use the standard wordpress filter wp_dropdown_users_args to limit this list (using the check that name=event_author to be sure that it is about this specific list).
