Hi Riffard,

This depends on how you have the events questions setup.

Did you require Personal Information/Addition Questions for additional attendees within the event?

Within the Event Editor look in the sidebar on the right. In this example, Primary attendees must enter Personal Information, additional attendees must enter Personal & Address Information. http://take.ms/owwSV

Testing this locally works fine. I placed some registrations, opened up one of the additional attendees (within the Registration list), clicked ‘Edit this Registrant’, edited the Name and email and then updated.

Then Re-open the registration under the new name and can edit the questions.

Are those the steps you took?

Can you tell me which version of EE4 are you currently running please?

You can find this under Dashboard -> Plugins. Under Event Espresso you’ll find a version number.

Would it be possible for me to take a look?

If so could you send temporary log in details and some details of which registration using this form please:

Hi Riffard,

Thank you for sending me the log-in details.

I have taken a look at the registration for Victoria and can confirm what you are seeing on your site, however this is not due changing the registrant details.

If you view one of your other Multi Attendee Registrations you’ll find the custom questions are also not saving for those. Unfortunately I can not reproduce this locally but suspect this is either a plugin or theme conflict.

One thing I did notice is the site is running a caching plugin (W3 Total Cache) and is caching Event Espresso pages. This may be causing issues so I would first recommend adding all Event Espresso pages to be excluded from caching. With W3 Total Cache you do this by going to ‘Performance -> Page Cache’ within there you will find ‘Never cache the following pages:’ within that field add:

/events/
/registration-checkout/
/registration-cancelled/
/thank-you/
/transactions/

Those are the default pages for Event Espresso 4. If you have modified these you will need to put the relevant modified page also (it would appear you have not)

Then save the settings and purge (delete) the cache.

Then run through a test registration with multiple attendees. Do the additional attendee question now save?

Hi,

The plugin will provide a main menu called Performance. Then click the submenu called Page cache – screenshot http://take.ms/NTooG

Then scroll down until you find a section called Never cache the following pages. Here you can add in the pages not to cache – http://take.ms/OAt5L

If the data didn’t save then it is probable that it is lost and will need to be added in manually. You can do this by editing each attendee in the Registrations page.

Why isn’t it saving? That is unclear. Once the cache issue is resolved (and the cache has been cleared), you can test to see if the issue persists. If it does we can look into it further.

the option to purge the cache is grayed out. I don’t have that option or i can’t select it. Does that mean that the plugin is enabled but it is not caching (sp?)? More importantly does it mean that this isn’t the issue.

This means it is not actively caching currently, but caching can cause unexpected results so we can not rule it out 100%.

It appears the only caching you have active is Browser Caching. You could try disabling that. (Performance -> General Settings. Find Browser Caching and un-tick the checkbox, then save)

Also I would recommend disabling the Custom Template Add-on as it is not compatible with Event Espresso 4.

Personally I would recommend using a plugin such as ‘Duplicator‘ to clone the site locally, then run some registrations locally to see if you get the same results. If so then try a full troubleshoot by disabling all Non-EE plugins and re-run a registration to see if the details are saved (again locally), if so re-activate the plugins one by one to see which one causes the conflict.

Something that comes to mind is that recently we have been noticing WordPress SEO has had quite a few conflicts with other plugins since there last major update, we have not notice this particular issue before, but maybe try temporarily disabling that plugin and run a registration.

As we can’t reproduce this locally we’ll need your help in narrowing this down as much as we can 🙂

Hi Riffard,

We did a little digging into this and found a bug within EE4 when using the same questions in 2 questions groups (in both Primary and Additional attendees), which will need to be addressed and we now have a ticket for a future version.

The fix for yourself in the meantime is to simply change your Additional Attendee Questions from this: http://take.ms/3WLY0

To this: http://take.ms/Filtq

As you have the questions within each Group this should not make any difference other than showing the Name and description of the question group.

Once that has been set, update the event and view one of the previous registrations, you should see that attendee’s answers and be able to edit them.

I do apologize, I had logged in to take the snapshots above.

I’m assuming you have already done so, but I’m not working on the event and you can take it over by all means.

Thank you for the feedback, I’m glad your happy with both Event Espresso and our support 🙂
