Hi,
We run training programs for healthcare professionals that run several times a year, and I’m trying to setup unpublished events that can serve as a template each time we want to offer new dates. It seems that when I clone an event, default tickets do not appear for the new event. Do default tickets only show up when you create a new event from scratch?

Hi,

In EE4 the duplicate event will copy the existing event exactly. It will not add default tickets if they are missing from the “parent” event.

So the parent event has datetimes and tickets that are not copying. Does the event status impact this by chance?

Hi,

The event information should be copied minus sales/registration information.

What is the status of the event? Expired should be okay but if it was deleted then this probably won’t work as expected.

Lorenzo, status was ‘inactive’, but I tried it with both an active and inactive status. Tickets wouldn’t copy.

Hi,

Are you on the latest software?

Can you test on another event or a new event?

When I copy from within the event (which I believe is the only way to do this), I don’t even see event datetimes, or tickets show up in the copy, and I see the following in the event list:

If I leave the event and come back in, this is what it looks like:

We are on EE v.4.4.4

Hi,

Can you turn wp_debug on please and then try to copy a new event (which has a ticket and datetime) to see if any errors appear.

Please remember to note any error exactly, and to turn off wp_debug when finished as it should not be left turned on on an active site.

Dean, I’ll need to get our developers to do this. Please stand by.

Hi,

Please update to the current software at 4.4.5.

Then you can enable WP Debugging by using this macro:

Be sure to set it to false when you are done debugging.

Ok, thanks. Still have to do this as we’ve been shoring up other dev items. Will let you know.
