Hi Boris,

Hiding the widget can be done, but it involves code.

Copy this file to your theme folder (ideally a child theme, as updates to your theme will remove this file):

/wp-content/plugins/eea-multi-event-registration/templates/widget_minicart_table.template.php

rename the file (but leave the .template.php intact): e.g. my_new_template.template.php

Edit that file and insert this near the top:

if( EE_Registry::instance()->CART->all_ticket_quantity_count() == 0 ) {
	return;
}

Screenshot: http://take.ms/CNmBb

Then you add the following to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter('FHEE__EEW_Mini_Cart__form__minicart_templates', 'my_custom_mer_mini_cart_template', 10, 1 );
function my_custom_mer_mini_cart_template( $minicart_templates ) {
	$newtemplate = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/my_new_template.template.php';
	array_push( $minicart_templates, $newtemplate );
	return $minicart_templates;
}

Now, in your WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Widgets. Either add a new Cart widget or edit your existing one. Change the Mini Cart Template dropdown to the one you just edited (it will show the filename you gave it).

Save the widget.

Now the widget will not appear when empty but if there is something in the cart it will appear.

Hi Boris, were you able to get Dean’s suggestion working?

Thanks

Hi Boris, the suggestion that Dean shared does not affect registrations. It is more of a customization for display.

It sounds like a registrant try a free registration along with a paid one and that failed?

Are you using an up to date version of Event Espresso 4?
