Specifically when I try to register for an event, it fails due to:

EE_SPCO_Reg_Step_Attendee_Information – _verify_critical_attendee_details_are_set_and_validate_email – 859

It says that the name is required, but I typed in the name.

Hi David,

I checked your site and I am seeing a JavaScript error that is being thrown on Event Espresso 4’s form validation script. I can investigate further, but it may help to try temporarily deactivate any other WordPress plugins that load JavaScript on the WordPress pages. These include Jetpack, Learndash, and the contact form plugin. This would help to rule out any conflicts.

I deactivated all plug ins excepting EE4, EE4 Calendar, and EE4 MailChimp.

Same error

Hi David,

Do you have the current version of the Mailchimp add-on activated? The current version of the Mailchimp add-on for EE4 is version 2.1.1.p.

Yes.

Calendar v3.2.1.p
MailChimp v2.1.1.p

Deactivated both of those, same error.

Hi David,

Thank you for checking on that. Can you try ruling out a theme conflict? Here’s how you can rule out a theme conflict without disabling the theme for everyone else except you:

1) You install the theme test drive plugin
2) After you activate the theme test drive plugin, you go to WordPress>Appearance>Test Drive and activate the test drive feature.
3) Then you test a registration with a theme like twenty fifteen active.

OK, switching the theme made the issue go away.

What does that mean?

Hi David,

It could mean that your WordPress theme does not use the get_footer() function to load its footer template. A quick way to check for this is open up your theme folder and look at the code in one of the template, like page.php. Near the bottom of the template, there should be some code that looks like this:

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks! Adding that fixed my issue.

Update: Event Espresso 4.6.2 is released now and includes the fix for themes that don’t have the get_footer() hook.
