Authorize.net AIM active with "firstdata_connect_2" errors

Hi,

When we initially setup the site @ https://events.rarediseases.org/ the payment settings was configured to use First Data. We never got First Data to work and disabled it and activated and switched to Authorize.net AIM. However during registration I receive the following error. Note the part about “firstdata_connect_2” below.

I’m not sure why we are seeing an error that references “firstdata_connect_2” when that is not active.

I connected to the server and navigated to /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/gateways/ and I do not see a “firstdata_connect_2” directory. Only “firstdata” and “firstdata_e4”.

I just downloaded 3.1.30.7.P zip and it does not contain a “firstdata_connect_2? directory under gateways in the zip.

Hi Paul,

I believe this issue has a ticket on it waiting for a developer to look into it. I don’t know the technical details on it, but one of the files is calling gateways unnecessarily after they have been activated and deactivated.

First Data Connect 2 has been dropped from the plugin, legacy files can be found here https://github.com/eventespresso/Gateways

Hi Dean,

Thanks for the update. I uploaded the “firstdata_connect_2” directory from https://github.com/eventespresso/Gateways download and now I no longer see the error. However FirstData shows up as a payment option despite only Authorize.net AIM being activate under payment settings.

I found references in wp_options table under “option_name” = "event_espresso_active_gateways"

and “option_value” =

"a:2:{s:19:"firstdata_connect_2";s:29:"/gateways/firstdata_connect_2";s:3:"aim";s:71:"/opt/sites/events/public/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/gateways/aim";}"

Hi Paul,

Will it let you deactivate the First Data gateway from the Payment options page?

If not, you can add this to your theme’s functions.php file and save:

update_option('event_espresso_active_gateways' '');

Then refresh any page on your site to run the above code. Then you can remove the above code from functions.php and save functions.php.
Now that the active gateways settings are reset, you’ll need to reactivate the gateways you are using.
