I want to have Registration button on my main menu and for that button to take the visitor directly to the registration form without stopping at the events list page. My site is specifically for registering for a single event, and I don’t want/need that intermediate page that names the event and requires the Register button in order to get to the form. Is this possible? The SINGLEEVENT shortcode doesn’t work: the form displays but nothing happens when you press the Submit button.

Hi Adelaide,
What you can do is remove the page with the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode on it from the site’s navigation menu. This can be done by using the built in WordPress custom menu manager or the exclude pages from menu plugin. It’s important that this page stays published because the other screens that make up the registration process originate from that page.
Then you can create another page with the SINGLEEEVENT shortcode, and place this page in the site’s navigation menu.

I’ve tried that, and I get a page-not-found when I hit Submit after filling in the form. I’m new to WordPress and to plugins. When you say the page with [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] has to stay published, do you mean that it has to be linked to from somewhere on the site or that it just has to exist?
Thank you for such a speedy response.

Hi Adelaide
The page with [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] has to exist (not in the trash or private, it has to be published) and be set as the main registration page in Event Espresso> General Settings.

That’s the way I have it set up. Why would I be getting the page-not-found? I checked to make sure that thank you, transaction, and registration-cancelled pages are set in General Settings and have the right shortcodes. I have a page called Registration as the one with [ESPRESSO_EVENTS], not in the main nav, and a page called Register in the main nav with the SINGLEEVENT shortcode.

I also switched back to a WP theme (twenty eleven, still got the same result.

Hi Adelaide,
Can you post a link to the pages where the [singleevent] and [espressoevents] shortcodes have been placed so we can investigate further? Also, is this a multi-site or a single site installation of WordPress?

single-site WP installation.
It occurs to me – is this problem happening because my site is in a subfolder (it won’t be in a subfolder when we launch it)? It all works when I don’t use the SINGLEEVENT shortcode.
Thank you.

Hello Adelaide,
I notice on your site the Register link in the main menu is taking you to a registration form now. IS this issue resolved and can we close this thread?
Thanks

No it’s not resolved. When I submit the form I get a page-not found.

Hi Adelaide,
The problem was that the “Registration” page (it has a page ID of 26) that was linked to in the main registration page in Event Espresso>General Settings under page settings was in the trash. In addition to being in the trash, it didn’t have the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode in it.
I went ahead and fixed these issues so it’s working now.
