 * Hi, I have been struggling with the front end submission and getting custom Fields
   I have set up in Event manager to populate from the front end submissions, Ive
   tried every trick I can think of in the naming protocol but they just won’t populate.
   Below is the code I have in place along with a screenshot of the event listing
 *     ```
       <div class="input">
         <label for="FIELD10"><?php _e('First Name', 'events-made-easy-frontend-submit'); ?> <small><?php _e('required','events-made-easy-frontend-submit'); ?></small></label><br />
          <?php EMEFS::custom_field('FIELD10'); ?>
          <?php EMEFS::field('FIELD10'); ?>
          <?php EMEFS::error('FIELD10'); ?>
       </div>
       ```

 * Ok I figured out the tie between the front end submit and EME I figured out it
   doesn’t like spaces… Anyway, One last thing The fields on the FES are full width
   but the custom fields are not, where can I find the CSS that is controlling it,
   It isn’t in the FES style sheet?

 * The frontend submission is to submit new events, not as an RSVP form (just to
   clarify).
    But I don’t understand the remark “it doesn’t like spaces”, could 
   you elaborate? The CSS part of EMEFS is described here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy-frontend-submit/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy-frontend-submit/)(
   section FAQ in the tab “Details”). It is true that not all elements are styled.
   Those that are not just use the style from your theme. Use any CSS debugger (
   your browser) to see which style you should apply. I’ll try to include default
   styles for custom fields in the future too.

 * Hi Franky,

 * In the custom Fields of EME I had added some custom fields with names like “Number
   of Costumes”. When I added the field into EMEFES nothing happened.. BUT, after
   some trial and error attempts I found that “number_of_costumes” worked. Adding
   underscore instead of spaces and removing the capital letters was the fix. I 
   also figured out it doesn’t like having an ” ‘ ” in the name either like “name’s”
   as an example.
 * Since I’m 100% self taught in the realm of coding, some of this has been a trial
   by fire trying to get things to work. 🙂 The good news is so far this plug in
   is the closest thing to my needs I have found!
 * Thanks for the CSS info I found the area in the theme to adjust.
