Hi Ted,

Are you going to send the Redeem a support token form? You can find a link to that form from your account page.

Hi Ted,

Are you looking to update from version 3.1.37.7 to 3.1.37.8 or to Event Espresso 4?

As an aside, I see that you have the Event Espresso SSL/HTTPS plugin. That plugin is no longer supported or recommended, and we recommend this one instead:

yes we need to get to current version

also need to put up a site unavailable wheile you are doing it so that nobody can login, we have 10 instructors over 100 classes and people registering every day.

Hi Ted,

I need to know whether you want the website to be updated to the current version of Event Espresso 3 or Event Espresso 4. If you’re not sure about the differences between the two, we’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you have about that.

and only because its a higher number. lol is there any reason why i should go to 3 instead?

You’re already on 3. Is there a feature in Event Espresso 4 that you need that 3 doesn’t have? Probably the more important question is, is there a feature that you depend on that’s in Event Espresso 3, that’s not in Event Espresso 4?

You can read about the differences between Event Espresso 3 and Event Espresso 4’s feature sets here:

ive been told that the latest version would allow us to keep the classes info live after the class was full. so that people still have a way to double check location, times etc.

also we are planning to mod it so that woocommerce and event esspresso coupons are one in the same.

we are currently having issues with the coupons not showing up in the export class attendee exported data so we just want to be as current as we can before modding.

You would not necessarily need to update to EE4 in order to display class info after the class was full. I posted some code that shows how to modify that for EE3 in your other thread:

ok so it sounds like upgrading to 4 might be something you dont recommend? isnt there a danger in getting too far behind? i dont want to run into more issues in the future and have to recreate the entire database for an upgrade

Since Event Espresso 3 and Event Espresso 4 are two completely different platforms, you’re not getting behind if you stay on Event Espresso 3. Where the recommendation to not update to EE4 comes into play is if you like the way the promo codes in EE3 works now, then you probably shouldn’t update to EE4, because in EE4 the promo code features are totally different.

we do have issues with the promo codes not working with woocommerce and not showing up in the spread sheet exports


Ted Lidie

July 25, 2016 at 2:12 pm

are these possible in 4?

EE4 promotion codes (and EE3 promotion codes for that matter) were not designed to work with WooCommerce. As far as the CSV reports in EE3 go, there should be a 10th column that’s labeled “Coupon Code”. When you export a report from EE3, is that column missing or are its table cells blank where there should be a code there?


Ted Lidie

July 25, 2016 at 3:41 pm

most of the codes are missing in that table, not all

Hi Ted,

Since you’ve sent access via the support token form I can look into this. Can you reply with a few registration ID’s where the promo code is missing so I can investigate further?


Ted Lidie

ok so after further digging with the client the problem is actually quite different

it turns out that the promo codes are showing up in the export fine when a user uses them to pay. but the problem they are having is they often have to move a user from one class to another and when the admin inputs the promo code manually into the “add attendee” form it dosnt show up on the exported attendees spread sheet int he promo codes table.

they need this to happen because they need admins to be able to know which user paid with which code.

is this a bug ?

you can see where i tested this myself using this event
“Shasta Area CA+32 State CCW Renewal, 8-6-16, 1PM-5PM”

with the user “Mike Likes”
also registered under another user “Mike Like” with same coupon and worked

please advise asap

we would still like to upgrade to latest 3 version is this pretty straight forward?

It’s not a known issue where the promo code input in EE3 doesn’t make it into the attendee export, but I can look further into this for you.

For what it’s worth, EE4 does not have the feature (yet) that allows adding a promotional code via the admin, so it may be best to stay on EE3 in the meantime if you need that feature.

when the admin inputs the promo code manually into the “add attendee” form it dosnt show up on the exported attendees spread sheet int he promo codes table.

Okay I identified what was wrong and put a fix on your site so going forward those codes should get recorded as you expect them to.


Ted Lidie

will it need to be done again after i update to the latest 3?
