Admin Screens

Voxel Events adds an Event Tickets menu to the WordPress admin with four screens.

ScreenCapabilityWho typically uses it

All Ticketsedit_postsEvent authors reconciling sales and attendance
Oversoldedit_postsEvent authors and admins checking for events that went over capacity
Settingsmanage_optionsAdministrators only

Event authors don't need admin access

Check-in also works from the front end through the Event Check-In widget, which is usually a better fit for door staff on a phone. Authorisation is author-based, so Voxel custom roles work without the edit_posts capability.

Check-in

The default screen. Scan or enter a ticket code to check an attendee in.

See Event Check-In Widget for the front-end equivalent and the check-in workflow.

All Tickets

A searchable list of every ticket issued on the site.

Filters

  • Event — narrow to a single event, or All Events
  • Status — Checked In, Not Checked In, or All Statuses

The screen shows a running count of matching tickets, and a Clear button to reset filters.

Free tickets may have no attendee details

Paid tickets capture the buyer's name and email at checkout. Free tickets skip checkout entirely, so the Attendee column is empty unless the event collects name and email through the Attendee Information section — see Settings.

Oversold

Orders that completed for more tickets than the date had left. Added in 1.2.0.

The tickets in these orders were issued — the customer had already paid — so this is a record to act on rather than a queue to approve. It exists so an oversell cannot pass unnoticed until the guests arrive.

Filter by event when more than one has oversold. The summary line above the table totals the orders and the tickets beyond capacity for whatever is currently filtered.

Authors only see their own events

Site administrators see every conflict on the site. Event authors see only conflicts on events they own, so the screen is safe to leave reachable on a multi-venue site.

An empty screen means no event has sold beyond capacity, which is the normal state.

See Overselling & Capacity for how conflicts arise, the notification, and the setting that most reduces them.

Settings

Site-wide configuration — ticket codes, wallets, email batching, cart reservation, capacity conflicts, service fees, and which sections appear in the create-event form.

See Settings for every option.
