I have the most current versions of EE and REM installed. I also have the templates and additional css scripts in place, however, I am getting this when I try to go to the Event Registration page: http://gnflea.com/event-registration/ It seems like it is stuck in some loop. I essentially have a different event every Wed, Sat, and Sun that reoccurs every week for the next year. I need a date drop down on an event registration page for those events for the next three months. So it would read: Thanks. Justin |
Hi Justin, There have been some necessary updates made to the REM templates, and we haven’t released an update yet. I’ve posted the latest code on these two pages at github that will work with the current version of Event Espresso: I would recommend using those instead until we get the final release out. |

Thanks, however, how do I get to only show X months worth of dates? Also, when I click a date, it just takes me back to the Event Registration page. http://gnflea.com/event-registration/ You can see what I am talking about above. |
Let’s take the part about it looping back to the main reg page first. So you’ve got both of the new templates installed, is that correct? They both need to be updated if this hasn’t already been done. From there, I’d check the shortcode on the main registration page. It needs to be [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] . |
|
|
Both the new templates are installed. What do you mean updated? Shortcode is correct on the main registration page. |
By updated, I mean replacing the old event list template files with the ones from github. Can you try temporarily switching to the default twentyeleven WordPress theme and deactivating all non-EE plugins to rule out any conflicts? |
|
|
The old template files have been replaced with new ones, I just deactivated all plugins and went to twentyeleven and still same issue. Thanks. Justin |
Hi Justin, Can you go into Event Espresso>General Settings and check under page settings? You can look for the page that is set to be the main registration page. Once you have that page name, can you go to edit that page and verify that the main registration page has the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode on it? |
|
|
Already done. Yes and yes. |
Hi Justin, I’d like to have a look at the WP admin and take a look at the files on the server. Would it be possible to send temporary credentials? If so, please send these via the contact form on this page: https://eventespresso.com/contact/ Select the “I am sending login info as requested” department form. |

Done. |
Hi Justin, This appears to be an issue with permalinks on this server. When I temporarily switched to the default permalink structure, everything works as expected. When I switched back to the post name option, everything broke again. So basically what’s happening is, instead of moving onto a registration form page from the event list, it redirects back to the list. I have a multi-site network where I can do some further testing, but there may be something that needs to be configured to allow this site to use Permalinks with the post name option correctly. |
|
|
That would be great. I would prefer the permalinks with post name. I’ll switch to default to continue the customization, but I’d like to switch back later. Thanks. Justin |
At this point, I do not know what it will take to make this work on your site. On my multi site, this works out of the box. I’m not using any domain mapping though. Does your server support the apache rewrite module? |
|
|
My server does support the apache rewrite. I’m not sure what the issue could be. It needs to be supported in order to get the domain mapping working. I can look into it further though. |
|
Last two parts of the question though. How do I get only the next 3 months worth of event to show up? How do I get “add to cart” or multi event registration set up for this install? Thanks. |
You can set the events that are past 3 months from now to draft and they will not appear in the list for those who are logged out. The Recurring events templates do not include add to cart links, but you can add an add to cart link to the registration page for each event by modifying the registration_page_display.php template to include a shortcode like this:
Or you can add the shortcode directly into the event editor for the event: |

I don’t really want to have to make three new months of events available every three months. Is there anyway to have the drop down only display so many events, like set a limit on the amount of events displayed? As it stands the dropdown is a mile long. I’d like to be able to create future events without having to go back and change them from draft to active every time I want them to appear. The process isn’t really automated if I have to bother with them later. Thanks again for all your help. Justin |
Hi there, There currently isn’t a feature to hide active events from the event list. This would require custom development. |
