you need to remove this code:
'html_before_fields' => '<input type="text" name="post_title" size="30" id="title" placeholder="Enter title here" autocomplete="off">',
you need to create a text custom field that you will assign to be your title. The code below assigns the custom field to be the post title:
$post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_type' => 'events',
'post_title' => $fields['new_title']['value'],
'post_status' => 'draft'
);
please also include this code inside the function before the // Continue save action. I completely forgot about it:
// Update the Post
wp_update_post( $post );
edited my post above as well and added this code.
