Hi there,

1. When attempting to register and add an event to cart, I often receive this error: “We’re sorry, but your ticket selections could not be processed due to a server timing error. Please hit the back button on your browser and try again.”

This is usually caused by caching where the timestamp on the ticket selector is over an hour old. If you have a caching plugin activated you can add an exclusion for any page with the ticket selector (usually any page with /events/ in the URL).

3. When on mobile, the calendar add-on does not seem to display properly:
3.1 The tooltip doesn’t always show up on click, and when it does, only the paragraph titles show up and the content is missing. Image here.
3.2 Clicking on “+ View More” changes the calendar view to a single-day view, and no content shows up. I would like to keep the calendar always in month view. I’ve adjusted the calendar settings and it works great on desktop, but not mobile. Image here.

The calendar wasn’t developed for mobile (small screen) views, there’s a suggestion outlined in the calendar documentation that shows how to serve an event list instead of the full calendar to small screens:

4. When on mobile, the grid add-on doesn’t seem to be clickable, and I can’t find a way to center the grid within the container / column. Image here.

Are you using the Grid shortcode within the page content or is the shortcode being used within a page builder outside of the main content? If you can post a link to the page we in question we can investigate further.

Hi there,

However, on the top of the page for both invoice / receipt, I’m getting this error: “Warning: getimagesize(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0

allow_url_fopen has been disabled on your server which is casue the above, you will need to contact your host and have them enable allow_url_fopen on your site.

How can I 1. update the verbiage to say “NOTHING IN YOUR CART”;

You’ll need to ‘translate’ the string to another, we have some examples of how you can do that here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/

I would use the custom function:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#custom-function

the string you need to translate is 'Nothing in your Event Queue' so you $strings array would show something like:

$strings = array(
        'Nothing in your Event Queue' => 'Nothing in your Classes Queue',
);

2. update the link from the /events (or in my case /classes) url to another url (/register)?

You can change that text, and the link used, using something like this:

You can all of the functions used above to a custom functions plugin, we have some documentation on how to create one here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

However, are you wanting that /events/ link used throughout EE to all use a different URL?

Hi Sherry,

That can be changed by adding the following code to your site’s functions plugin:

function my_ee_mer_change_event_list_url( $url ){
    $url = home_url( '/register' );
    return $url;
}

add_filter( 
    'FHEE__EED_Multi_Event_Registration__set_definitions__events_list_url', 
    'my_ee_mer_change_event_list_url' 
);

Hi there,

Can you explain what you mean by “not working”? I’m sorry but we cannot access the page to see what’s happening there.

With regards to the 400 Bad request error, I’m not able to open an image with that URL either.

May I ask does the web server serve your browser an image if you click this link?

The thing about the link is, it doesn’t serve an image to me when I go to the URL in a browser, which may be why the script can’t access the image either.

The nothing in your event queue message is actually using a different template than the cart templates, so the code you added will not affect that link. Changing the link there will require an additional code snippet like this:

add_filter( 'FHEE__Single_Page_Checkout__display_spco_reg_form__empty_msg', 'my_custom_nothing_in_event_queue_message' );
function my_custom_nothing_in_event_queue_message() {
   return 'You need to select at least one event before you can proceed with the registration process. <a href="'.home_url( '/register' ) .'">Click here to go view the events.</a>'; 
}
