Hey

1. I'm using the Event Calander Pro plugin. I would like to use a CRED form to enable website visitors to add their own events. Some of the fields in the event CPT don't appear on the CRED form. I've used the Auto Generate option, and also tried to add them manually.

Is there a way to somehow inform CRED that they exist, so I could add them to the form, and have them update once form is submitted?

Hi, there's not a seamless integration with CRED and the Event Calendar Pro plugin, and this would require a significant amount of custom code. ECP uses hidden custom fields that are formatted in ways that are not always directly translatable to Types field values, so that makes management in CRED quite difficult. For example, Types date fields store timestamps where ECP date fields store date objects. Some ECP values, like Event Recurrence, are stored as serialized data structures, which Types doesn't support. So you may be able to implement a very basic Create Event CRED form, but it won't have the exact same features as the form in wp-admin and it will require significant custom code to implement.
