When you be fixing the update issues with the calendar and now the Event Espresso – MailChimp (EE4.3+) plugins? I need to update my theme because of issues that were caused by wordpress 4.0.1. I can’t do that until i can update my calendar and mailchimp plugins because of fatal errors that could crash my site.

Hi,

Any errors that were caused before should not happen because we have added checks to prevent activation of the old software with new software.

All of the Event Espresso 4 software from your user account is compatible and will not cause any errors.

If you are running old software and you haven’t updated in some time, then backup your WordPress, then remove all Event Espresso 4 software. Then download the latest versions from your account page and upload and activate through WordPress plugins.

are you saying to remove all the plugins, reinstall the current EE4 plugin and the old calendar and mailchimp which is all i have? i don’t see any options for downloading current calendar and mailchimp plugins from my account.

Hello Ruth,

We’ve just released an update to the MailChimp add-on for Event Espresso 4 and we wanted to let you know about it.

The latest version of MailChimp introduces some additional options for determining when add-on should add a registrant/attendee to a specific list in MailChimp. Here are those options:

subscriber submits information
registration is completed (payment status does not matter)
registration is completed with an approved status

The first option above will run as soon as a registrant/attendee submits their information in step 1 of registration checkout.

The second option will run once registration checkout is completed. However, it does not consider the payment status so a registrant that has not paid (e.g. pending payment) could be added to MailChimp

The third option is the new default option and will only add registrants that have a completed registration. If an event is paid, then they are added only if they have paid. If the event is free, then they will also be added

Your site should show an update notice for MailChimp later today.

Before updating, please backup your site:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-back-up-your-site/

Then look for MailChimp for Event Espresso 4 in your list of plugins in your WordPress dashboard and click to update it. If there are updates for other add-ons for Event Espresso 4, then you can go ahead and update them as well.

Also, if you would like to change the default behavior for MailChimp, then you can do so by going to Event Espresso –> MailChimp. Then make changes as needed and then save.

Thanks


Lorenzo
