Hi there,

The only way for EE to not require you to select a payment method is if the ticket is free or the Default Registration Status for the event is ‘Not Approved’.

I suggest using the ‘Not Approved’ status on the event, when the user registers onto the event, after they enter details they will see a message like this – http://take.ms/2wwSc

You can edit that message to display whatever you prefer and then the admin can manually approve the registration after confirming with the user.

Note that the only registrations that apply to the ‘Sold’ values on an event are ‘Approved’ registrations, so the registrations will not take up a space on the event until the admin manually sets the registration status to Approved.

Will that work for you?

Theres a filter for that specific message, are you familiar with using hooks?

This filter FHEE__EE_SPCO_Reg_Step_Payment_Options___events_requiring_pre_approval__events_requiring_pre_approval_msg can be used to change the ‘The following events do not require payment at this time…’ text.

This string: 'Important Notice: Events Requiring Pre-Approval' will need to be ‘translated’ to allow you to change it, I’d recommend using the function shown here:

I have looked at the link you sent me and are you saying that I need to edit the MO file associated with the site and then resave it back to its current location…

No, you don’t edit MO files, you edit the PO file and then generate a MO file from that. PO files are the human readable versions that you edit and then create a MO file (machine code) for your site to use.

However, you don’t need to do that for a single text string, I linked to a custom function you can use for specific strings.

Ok, the first step you need to take is to create a custom function plugin to hold your custom functions, you can follow the steps here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

Then you need to add this function to change the text of the not approved message:

Then in that same plugin you can add the custom function I linked to above to translate the text for you:

So you end up with one plugin, with both those functions in, be sure to replace the text in those functions with that you want to display and that should be good to go.

1. The text is only changeable at this stage on the Payment options screen and I need to change it on the last screen, which is the congratulations page.

Which text are you referring to here? Can you add a screenshot?

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/troubleshooting-checklist/#screenshots

It sounds like you mean the payment method description which is editable through the payment method itself (Event Espresso -> Payment methods -> {Payment method}

But I’m not 100% sure.

2. the link for the confirmation button, when I click it returns me back to the homepage of the website and does not open or take me anywhere else.

Can you link me to a test event I can use to view this please?

3. On both the payment screen and the congratulations screen, I only see the event name listed. Where can I change this to include, Event name, Ticket Type and amount and value of the purchase?

Which payment screen?

Most of the details you are referring to should already be displayed on the thank-you page already. If I can run a test registration I’ll take a look then.

also where can i change the following text on the congratulations screen please.

That text is wrapped in a filter, so something like this:
