If I join an event should I be automatically added to wordpress users or is there something I need to do for this to happen?

Thx

Hi Jeremy,

Event Espresso 3 does not do this on its own but you can do this by using some code like this:

We recommend adding this to a site specific plugin: http://ottopress.com/2011/creating-a-site-specific-snippets-plugin/

Cheers

Hi Lorenzo

Thanks for the information. I did as suggested. Do I add this to the plugins for the site or is there a plugins folder within espresso?

The reason I ask is that I added to contents/plugins for wordpress and now no emails are sent out for the user at all. They are recorded on espresso users but not on wordpress. Also I do not get a user activate email at all.

Any ideas what I can do next?

Thanks

I have redone the file and now get the message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare espresso_create_wp_user() (previously declared in /home/hearts/public_html/wp-content/plugins/heart-tours/heart-tours.php:7) in /home/hearts/public_html/wp-content/plugins/heart-tours/heart-tours.php on line 29

For your information I have added code below:

global $org_options;

// Generate the password and create the user
$password = wp_generate_password( 12, false );
$user_id = wp_create_user( $attendee_data['email'], $password, $attendee_data['email'] );

Hi,

The snippet should go into either the themes functions.php or to wp-content/uploads/espresso/custom_functions.php (you may need to make this file).

Here is an alternative version of the above, please read the notes on it https://gist.github.com/Apina/9596012

The fatal error you have received is because you have the function in two places and the can be only one.
