I’ve finally got my events sorted out and we are starting to have schools register for our program. To make it easier for them to see what dates are available I don’t want sold out events to appear on the calendar. It seems like it should be doing this already from what I have read. I don’t like showing the tooltip as it covers too much and it just seems easier if there isn’t a button for them to press.

Hi there,
This may be a bit of a manual process, but you could use the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id="your_category_identifier"] shortcode and create a category for all events that have openings. Then when an event fills up, you can uncheck that category from the event, and it will disappear from the calendar.
Does that make sense?

Your suggestion does make sense. I’m trying to avoid manually manipulating the calendar since we have over 170 events and will be adding more shortly. Can I mention that I greatly look forward to the recurring event add-on. Thank you for the quick suggestion though.

Is there no other way than the manual suggestion? Perhaps I have just set things up wrong. Here’s what happens:
1. School signs up for the event (most choose invoice since they aren’t able to pay so far in advance)
2. I set the event to Approved so it shows up as sold out.
3. Event still shows up on calendar, but now it shows as sold out.
What I would like to have happen is once 2 tickets have been purchased from an event it should disappear from the calendar so no one can click on it.
Now I have a registrant that is trying to go back and make a payment by PayPal, but it isn’t taking them to the link. My guess is this is due to their status not being “Pending Payment.” Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Currently the Espresso calendar will only hide expired events, not sold out ones.
The attendees should have a link in their registration email which will take them to their payment page.

This is the message they get when they click on the “retry your payment” link:
“WE’RE SORRY
It appears that the event you were about to make a payment for has sold out since you first registered. If you have already made a partial payment towards this event, please contact the event administrator for a refund.”

Hi there,
We’re working on a fix for the issue reported here with the checkout page not allowing payment. I’ll post an update to this thread when the fix is ready.

Is there a timetable for when this is likely to be fixed? It is making Event Espresso basically worthless until customers can use that repayment option. Also I am dealing with customers in a panic because they think they have lost their reservation.

Hello again,
We wanted to let you know that there is a filter available that will allow you to hide sold out events from your event calendar for Event Espresso 4.
It is available in the current release of Event Espresso 4 and the Events Calendar add-on.
Here is a link to a filter which can be added to your child theme’s functions.php or a site specific plugin:

Thanks!
