Hi, When a try to test registering for an event, clicking the submit button gives me the error message: “An error occured. The primary attende’s data could not be updated. ( add_attendees_to_db.php )” The attendee is in fact added as a visitor to the event and i is registered with the printable ticket and all… It seems that attendee’s can register to an event, but the “thank you” page return the afore mentionned error message instead… Why? |
Hi Edouard, This might be a plugin or possibly even a theme conflict. Can you post a link to the registration page so we can investigate further? |

Here it is: http://cybersavoir.csdm.qc.ca/rv2013/event-registration/?ee=1 or this one: http://cybersavoir.csdm.qc.ca/rv2013/2013/01/15/formation-aides-technologiques/ |
Hi Edouard, I would first try deactivating and reactivating Event Espresso. Then, in the WP-Super-Cache advanced settings, you will need to add the event-registration, thank-you, and transactions pages to the “Do not cache” list. Then clear the cache. The registration pages should not be served as cached files. Then if the issue persists, you can try deactivating all non-EE plugins, then test. Please let us know if that makes any difference. |

OK, I’ll try that. I also had another issue, this one involving the espresso-services ticketing portion: i am unable to login using the iphone app “blog returned invalid date”. I posted the question yesterday and was told to replace with (234 being my blog ID) Anything else that could be blocking this feature from logging in? |
Hi Edouard, The espresso-services files need to be in the same directory as the core WordPress installation. Also, the endpoint URL should be the same URL where these files reside. |
|
|
It seems that I am at a loss: neither problems seem to be solved. I give up. Maybe another day. |
|
Hi, As per the espresso-services that returns an error, i could send you the files i modified as per you input and maybe you could check the code? I mean, it wasn’t meant for multisite, and i added “234_” in front of events but should i add it in front of attendees, too? Maybe i committed a syntax mistake in applying the “hack” you proposed? Thanks. |
Hi Edouard, You don’t need to deactivate all the plugins across the network for every site, only the plugins that are activated on the site running Event Espresso. As an aside, Event Espresso should only be activated for the site you’re using it on, it should not be network activated. Deactivating other plugins is a common troubleshooting step that often leads to a solution. With the ticketing app api, yes, if you do a global find and replace for {$wpdb->prefix}events, it will find and replace any instances of that string, including the events_detail and event_attendees tables. I’ve created a custom espresso-services folder for your blog with the ID of 234, you can download it here: You can unzip it and upload the espresso-services folder to the same location where WordPress is installed. |

Thanks for the file, that’s s’well of you! I’ll give it a spin. As per the plugins, all plugins for this blogue are deactivated except event espresso and ticketing. Would you be so kind as to going in my dashboard and checking the Event espresso general settings, just to make sure that the payment page is well linked ? I did follow the instructions… What bothers me is that the registration process doesn’t work. Go to: http://cybersavoir.csdm.qc.ca/rv2013/event-registration/?ee=1 Error message: An error occured. The primary attende’s data could not be updated. ( payment_page.php ) Then, when I open the event in the dashboard and list the attendees, they’re all there! Why? Furthermore: why can an attendee register TWICE for the same event? Shouldn’t there a message that says: you’re already registered? |
|
As you can see, i replaced espresso-services: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26582085/image001.png as per: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/espresso-ticketing/#services Domain: cybersavoir.cdm.qc.ca — i tried cybersavoir.csdm.qc.ca/rv2013 with and without trailing slash… I mean, what do i do wrong? Please help me ’cause i’m getting to the point of wanting to delete everything and ask for a refund. Not that the support service is bad, to the contrary, you’ve been great! But maybe this plugin just wont work on our system… Thanks |
Hi Edouard,
I don’t think this is a general settings issue. Can you try turning on debugging to see what error messages you get when you hit the register button? There is a suggested method to turn on debugging for one multisite blog posted in the .org forums here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/debugging-multisite-blogs
There isn’t a feature in Event Espresso that restricts people from registering for the same event multiple times. |
|
|
ok, here’s the debug info: Inscription An error occured. The primary attende’s data could not be updated. ( payment_page.php ) Hope it helps… |
It might help. Can you try changing the Price name in the event editor? I realize it’s a free event, but something with the event price doesn’t seem right here. |
|
|
It did change the price, i put in 1.00$ but still same error. On another machine, we tried creating a fresh installation of WordPress (in a VR) and installed espresso services. Everything worked flawlessly, except for the ticketing app on iphone connecting but not finding any events. Probably just a glitch, but it’s to show that maybe we should try to completely start afresh on Cybersavoir.csdm.qc.ca wth a new blog and redownloading all the event espresso folders from my account page…. What would be a safe way to ensure complete and utter deletion of any data related to Event espresso? I think we should: Did i miss something? Do you think it’s ise, or should you have a way to fix this another way? |
I would deactivate the Event Espresso plugins first, then delete. This way, any plugin settings stored in the wp_options table will be recorded as a deactivated state. |
|
|
OK so we reinstalled everything. I mean, deleted databases and all. I created a test event and registered to it, got same error: An error occured. The primary attende’s data could not be updated. ( payment_page.php ) I’ll try again tomorrow. |
Hi Edouard, Can you post a link to the new event registration page so I can take a look? |
|
|
There: http://cybersavoir.csdm.qc.ca/rendez-vous/event-registration/?ee=8 |
Hi Edouard, From viewing the source of this page, it looks like there are several other plugins loading their scripts. Have you been able to determine whether this happens if all the other plugins are disabled on this site? |
