You are using WordPress 3.5.1.
Version 3.1.30.7P – all add ons
http://www.vitalsofttech.com/event-registration/?regevent_action=register&event_id=1

Hi,
What I am trying to do is to get the user to click on the calendar for the description or join the event on the calendar, and if they are not logged in as a member running Wishlist Member, then they get referred to join the free membership. Then once logged in they they join and pay for a class on the calendar.
Paypal IPN deactivated for now.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi there,

You could use the WP-user integration add-on to accomplish this. If you go to Event Espresso>Member settings, you can set it to make all events members only. Non-logged in vistors of the site will get a message that says in order to register, they need to log in first.

Thanks Josh,
Awesome speedy response!

Are you guys showing an alternative to Wishlist Member? Where do all the members get stored?

Can you explain what I’m looking to put in the 2 fields below?
Login page (if different from default WordPress login page): ?????
Member registration page (if different from default WordPress register page): ????

Hi there,

the WP user integration isn’t an alternative to Wishlist. All that it does is extend the standard WordPress user system. So all the “members” are actually user accounts on the WordPress site. I’m not familiar with Wishlist, but if it extends the same WordPress user account functionality, that should work fine.

Your standard, vanilla WordPress log in and register pages are here:

http://www.vitalsofttech.com/wp-login.php

and

http://www.vitalsofttech.com/wp-login.php?action=register

If your membership plugin configures a different page for logging in and registering than the default WordPress log in and registration page:, you can specify them in the Event Espresso>member settings, and Event Espresso will send logged out users there instead. Just be sure that logged out users can view those two pages.

Thanks Josh!

Now on to sorting out the payment process with some sandbox testing…

Thanks.
