How to fix when event attendee initials not getting displayed on Event pages

WP Easy Events Pro WordPress plugin allows you to display event attendee initials on event pages as demonstrated on our live demo site:

Verify your event configuration

If you don't see attendee initials on an event page. It may be a configuration issue. We recommend you to check the following configuration options:

1. Log in to WordPress as administrator.
2. Make sure “Hide Attendee List” checkbox is unchecked in the event page you were referring to.
3. Go to Event Settings > Settings >”Global” tab and verify “Use Avatars” checkbox is unchecked - if it is checked, WP Easy Events Pro does not display attendees not having any avatars set.

If you verified all the configuration is correct and you still cannot see the attendee initials on the front end. It may be because your attendee's "full name" field is empty.

1. Log in to WordPress as administrator.
2. Go to Event Settings > Forms
3. Hover your mouse pointer over "Event Attendee" form
4. Click on "Edit Layouts" quick link
5. Drag and drop a form row into an empty space
