I am currently the developer who is developing the WordPress site for a client.
He has elected to use the Spike theme from Theme Forest which he has purchased and the espresso event management plugin.
According to espresso, Godaddy is mentioned not to be a suitable hosting provider.
Are you aware of this and what are your thoughts. And the suggested provider is you.
What do you recommend?
I am fully competent in utilizing WordPress, however the plugin is giving me some issues. I have done a report.
Should you wish access to the site , please make direct contact with Me
mY main problem is if you insert the event information into the theme, the way it displays is great and that the look the client wants, but the information from the registrations and pricing etc from the espresso theme does not pull through for you to get the stats and figures you he wants. However iF you do this all in espresso you will achieve this, however the look is not ideal. We intend to be adding on more plugins related to espresso and would strongly appreciate your assistance and complete transparency with regards to this claim.
Here are some links to read through.
https://eventespresso.com/topic/help-i-just-moved-site-to-a-linux-server-running-php-5-3-and-now-ee-breaks-it/
https://eventespresso.com/requirements/
Here is his current package , could you please advise on the compatibility or assistance as to why this is happening.
Also I don’t see and htaccess file.
In addition we had a new user added to the site which we did not add, how would they gain access to the site when they security to malicious activity, please see screen shots attached.
How did this jlhy8001 gain access to this site.
Do you think the htaccess file was edited. .
Please advise soonest
Regards

Hello,
Event Espresso works well with themes that follow WP theme coding standards (http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Theme_Development_Standards). From what we have seen, certain Themeforest themes do not do this which causes some issues. We are generally able to find a workaround for these cases.
The reason why we don’t recommend Godaddy is because they sometimes make changes to the site or server without letting the client know. This can cause some issues such as email notifications suddenly not working when they were working just a few days prior.
From your message it sounds like Event Espresso registrations are working but reporting is not. Could you expand on this statement:
…theme does not pull through for you to get the stats and figures you he wants

Hi Not quiet, I want to add my events to the themes section of events, and would like it to retrieve data from the espresso plugin such as registrations, pricing , transactions , so all the basic features that comes with Espresso EE4 4.3.0. So all i want is that they integrate effectively with the theme spike but it does not.Why is that. The look my client wants is relative to the theme. This should in normal circumstance work, however does not.
Please explain why.
Thanks
Shashika

Hi,
EE4 uses Custom Posts Types, with an events archive. As such if the theme also uses a custom post type called events it could cause issues.
If that is the case, you could rename the EE post type using this guide: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/change-events-cpt-slug/
Can you explain precisely, what is not working in relation to the theme?
If we know the exact issues we can suggest something to resolve it (if it is possible to resolve).

Hi Dean
Thank you for the advise and link , however i am surprised that you were not able to read previous communication ive had with your support team, who said the same things.
It is clear that this has been tried but did not work.
This was added to the theme’s functions.php file
add_filter( ‘FHEE__EE_Register_CPTs__register_CPT__rewrite’, ‘my_custom_event_slug’, 10, 2 );
function my_custom_event_slug( $slug, $post_type ) {
if ( $post_type == ‘espresso_events’ ) {
$custom_slug = array( ‘slug’ => ‘workshops’ );
|In this case i used|(Event List)
return $custom_slug;
I then flushed the system
I would appreciate if you could refer to this link
http://themeforest.net/item/spikes-music-band-wordpress-theme/6506052
which is the exact theme im using. Please have a look at it and let me know how to move forward.
to briefly give you an idea Spikes is a wordpress theme especially designed for Bands and music websites. It contains
Main Features
Event Management
The event management system has its own event section and so does espresso.
If i post in the post section its not retrieving information from the themes post page. However if you input data in the events section of espresso it does display in the Archive page.
Now my point as i mentioned is that the client prefers the look and display the theme provide and not the way it looks in the plugin.
When i speak about information pulling through from the themes event page to collect stats like how many people registered, the pricing is not seen and we can collect data from transaction as Espresso naturally works.
Do i make any sense to you at all. Do you still need further clarity?
Thanks

Hi Shashika,
There seems to be some confusion between Event Espresso ‘working with’ and ‘integrating with’ your theme.
Event Espresso does not integrate with any theme in that it will not add any of the Event Espresso features to your Theme’s ‘Events’ section. Event Espresso events and your themes events are two completely different post types. Integrating EE with Spike (or any individual theme) would require custom development the likes of which we can not support unfortunately.
However, Event Espresso does use the sites theme to output the event details so does work with the sites theme. So you can alter the output of the /events/ section (or whichever slug you have chosen using the function above) in various ways, one of which is to create a child theme and edit the templates specifically used by EE Events. We have an example of a child theme within event-espresso-core-reg/templates/Espresso_arabica_2014.
More details are available here:
https://eventespresso.com/2014/02/developers-corner-theming-event-espresso-4/
Does that help?
