Hi, I had a quick tour on EE4 demo, but I still don’t understand if I can have these two main features for me:
1) My courses will have different prices depending on the number of participants: ie. 2 persons > 80 euro (40 each) 4 persons > 120 euro (30 each) and so on.
Then when one group (2, 4, 6.. people) book the class, in one time, the event is closed. The class is booked by a group of people who knows each other. So we don’t want to give the possibility at other people to add themselves to the course. So is only “one slot” for a group of people, and price depends on how many they are. (sorry difficult for me to explain)
2) Is there a way to have a quick look to a calendar with booked event, how many people are attending the classes/courses etc? All together, week by week?
Last: if a course is repeated, same time same day of the week, all the year around, what is the option I should activate?
I need to know if you have this options and if EE4 is fine; I prefer to buy the newest plugin but of course my priority goes to functions.
Thank you
Best

Hi Laura,
1) This is quite a difficult set up to deal with, and one that EE4 cannot handle. First off is the discounts. EE4 hasn’t got any discounting system built in yet. We are working on that and it might be possible to achieve the discount you are after in the future.
Having an unknown number of participants which can close the event is also difficult. The only way I can think of doing that would be to have the event capacity set as 1 (one) and have the extra attendees set as questions rather than attendees. This then raises the issue of how do you charge a varying amount based on number of attendees? One way I suppose would be to give X number of ticket options and hope the customer is honest in their ticket selection.
2) I’m not 100% sure what you mean, but the calendar add on is only available to EE3 currently (EE4 has no addons right now, these will be coming in time). The calendar tooltip does not show availability but we are working on adding that feature in.
3) Recurring events is only available via EE3 and the Recurring Event Manager add on. We will be looking to include this addon/feature for EE4 in the future.

Hi Dean, thank you for your replies.
1) About the Calendar, anyway which is the way a person can have a look about what’s going on? How many events are booked, how many people etc?
2) For the “recurring events” i.e. I have the same cooking class every day of the week, every month, the only way is to buy EE3 and the add-on? Otherwise I should create 365 events only for this course?
3) Is Event Espresso EE3 and EE4 fully compatible with WPML ?
Thank you, very kind
Best
Laura

Hi,
1) Both EE3 and EE4 have a list of events, that can be browsed. In EE3 you can use a shortcode either in the event description or via the template files to display the current capacity. EE4 has this built into the registration page.
2) You can create as many events as you wish with both EE3 and EE4, but if you are creating dozens or hundreds, then EE3 has the Recurring Event Manager, which helps to automate the process. Otherwise it would be a manual process.
3) Neither version has formal integration with WPML, though EE4 is more likely to be easier to work with as that version is coded to use use more WordPress default systems such as Custom Post Types. EE3 is harder to use.
Some people have successfully used EE3 with WPML to our knowledge but we have not been advised how they did it.
