This expedites the process, ensuring that interested attendees are promptly added to the waiting list.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746526979892\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_functionality_does_the_%E2%80%98Express_Attendees_Form_provide\"><\/span>What functionality does the &#8216;Express Attendees Form&#8217; provide?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The &#8216;Express Attendees Form&#8217; feature is designed to simplify the reservation process for users booking multiple spots. When enabled, the information entered for the first attendee is automatically applied to all additional reservations made by that user. If you require distinct information for each attendee, you can disable this feature to collect individual details for every reservation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746526995907\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_users_verify_their_email_or_cancel_their_reservation\"><\/span>How can users verify their email or cancel their reservation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The addon allows you to create a dedicated &#8216;Verify &amp; Cancel&#8217; page using the [waiting_notif_page] shortcode. Once this page is set up and selected in the addon settings, users will receive a link to this page in their email notifications, enabling them to verify their email address or cancel their reservation as needed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746527007709\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_customizable_email_notifications_for_waiting_list_actions\"><\/span>Are there customizable email notifications for waiting list actions?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, the addon integrates seamlessly with MEC&#8217;s notification system. You can customize email templates for both &#8216;Waiting Verification&#8217; and &#8216;Waiting Confirmation&#8217; notifications, ensuring that users receive consistent and branded communications regarding their status on the waiting list.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746527022158\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_if_a_user_on_the_waiting_list_doesnt_verify_their_email\"><\/span>What happens if a user on the waiting list doesn&#8217;t verify their email?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If &#8216;Auto Verification&#8217; is disabled and a user fails to verify their email address via the verification link sent to them, their reservation remains unconfirmed. Only users who have completed the verification and confirmation process are eligible to be moved from the waiting list to the main attendee list when spots become available.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746527061184\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_apply_a_different_waiting_list_form_to_each_single_event\"><\/span>Can I apply a different waiting list form to each single event?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, while there are global forms for the waiting list, you can override these on a per-event basis. This flexibility allows you to tailor the waiting list functionality to suit the specific needs and conditions of each event, providing a customized experience for your attendees.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746527075576\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_update_the_Waiting_List_Addon_to_the_latest_version\"><\/span>How do I update the Waiting List Addon to the latest version?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>To update the Waiting List Addon, go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Plugins &gt; Installed Plugins. If an update is available, you will see an option to update the plugin. Click the Update Now button to ensure you are using the latest version with bug fixes and improvements. If a plugin update is unavailable, you may not have activated the addon license correctly, or you might be using an outdated version and need to manually download this addon through the Webnus dashboard and reinstall it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1746527091327\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_system_requirements_for_using_the_MEC_Waiting_List_Addon\"><\/span>What are the system requirements for using the MEC Waiting List Addon?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The MEC Waiting List Addon requires the Modern Events Calendar Pro plugin (version 6.0 or higher).

It requires the MEC Pro booking system to function properly, as a waiting list is only necessary once the maximum number of bookings for a single event has been reached.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This addon enables you to create a waiting form after selling out the tickets, so people can reserve one in case one of the attendees cancel their reservation.
