I have event espresso 4.4.8. I want there to be an invoice option at payment. I went through, enabled the invoice option, and I completed all of the fields. I then went and tested it out (while logged into my account). What happened: #1 problem: I thought that 2 PDFs were a bit confusing, Especially when the invoice with the payment instructions is not the first document with the big shiny button. The invoice PDF option is small text and located under the Transaction section. MY NEXT PROBLEM: 1. I registered for the event Please help me fix this issue–people are trying to pay using this option as we speak, and it makes no sense why all of my “test” transactions when I was logged in—garner completely different results. Thanks!!!! Your help is a lifesaver. Cara |

Just FYI–I’m not sure how it “should work”, and I don’t know where to find the format of the emails that they send out either. Thank you. |
|
Also, why are “instructions” for “invoice settings” being included on the ORDER CONFIRMATION PDF? |
Hi Cara, Do you run any caching plugins on the site or possibly through your webhost? |
|
|
Hm, Im not sure. I have a godaddy account, and there is an option to “flush cache”. I’m not very familiar with this–but maybe? |
Are you using one of GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress hosting packages? |
|
|
Yes, I believe so. GoDaddy advised that their one version worked better with wordpress. |
Those hosting packages have caching enabled on the server side, you’ll need to issue a ticket with GoDaddy to request the exclude the Event Espresso pages from caching. More details on those pages can be found here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/setup-nocache-exclusion-rules-event-espresso/ In a nutshell they need to exclude these page slugs from caching:
However we have seen this previously and when requesting GoDaddy exclude pages/their site from caching they refused. Unfortunately if this is case the the only option is to move hosts, Event Espresso can not function correctly when cached as a lot of EE data is dynamically output. |

Thank you—I am contacting GoDaddy now. In the meantime, can you let me know how the invoice SHOULD work? What is my goal? Cara |
Hi, some of the issues that you described are being caused by the caching so we’ll need no-caching rules in place. The link that appears in the congratulations box is not for the invoice. That is the order confirmation page. The invoice can be found by scrolling to the end of the thank you page and clicking on the link under the payment details area. The order confirmation page is a record of the registration. — |
