Hi,
We have some events that are quite popular and we have had customer contacting us because the received a confirmation email for someone else who registered too.

It looks like both used had the same booking id.

How can we resolve this?

Cheers
Nic

Hi Nicolas, are you currently running or were you recently running any caching services (cloudflare) or caching plugins such as W3 total cache or WP super cache?

Alright, that is typically the cause but we can continue digging.

Are you using the registration timeout option in the general settings page (event espresso –> general settings) of Event Espresso?

Also, which payment methods are in use?

We are using securepay (AUS) as a payment gateway.

The settings in general options are:

Ticket Reservation Time (number of minutes registrants …
30 minutes

Use registration limits on time slots? Yes

Securepay? Is that the name found in the Payment Settings page?


Nicolas Alberto

You guys developed this payment module for us about a year ago. And I believe it is now part of the available payment gateways.

It is called Securepay (AustraliaPost) in the payment settings > Manage Payment Gateways

When you say the users had the same booking id, do you mean the attendee id, or the registration id?


Nicolas Alberto

The registration id is the same.

Were they registered at the same time, using the “Add additional attendees” form? Or were they independent registrations?


Nicolas Alberto

They were different registrations I believe.
This is an extract of the wp_event_attendee for those two registrations

Note that the attendee_session is different and both registration are “is_primary”

The time is the same because we had a lot of registration at that time for this event.

That is really odd. I can see that they are different session ids. I think I can see the issue now. The timestamps are exactly the same. Which means they both hit the function that generates the registration id at the same time, and the php function that we call, uniqid, returned the same “unique” id. I would guess that that function is seeded by the current timestamp. To prevent it from happening again, you could use the code here: https://gist.github.com/sidharrell/8da2c256c5ab6921ddf7 to generate longer, more random registration ids.
