Hi,
I get the following error when I try to activate the new MailChimp plugin:
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
Any ideas?

Hi,

What version of the MailChimp addon are you trying to activate?

You’ll need to download MailChimp version 2.1.0.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am using 2.1.0p (only downloaded today). I have tried disabling every other plugin, apart from EE4, but still nothing.

Can you check the error log and let us know the specific error that was thrown on activation?

Thanks Aaron, this helps.

The last error indicates that your server is running PHP 5.2 or lower. This is because the line of code reported by the error uses a PHP namespace, and PHP namespaces were added in PHP 5.3. Can you check with your host about upgrading to a version of PHP that’s actively supported?

All sorted. Fixed PHP, fixed problem.

Hello Aaron,

We’ve just released an update to the MailChimp add-on for Event Espresso 4 and we wanted to let you know about it.

The latest version of MailChimp introduces some additional options for determining when add-on should add a registrant/attendee to a specific list in MailChimp. Here are those options:

subscriber submits information
registration is completed (payment status does not matter)
registration is completed with an approved status

The first option above will run as soon as a registrant/attendee submits their information in step 1 of registration checkout.

The second option will run once registration checkout is completed. However, it does not consider the payment status so a registrant that has not paid (e.g. pending payment) could be added to MailChimp

The third option is the new default option and will only add registrants that have a completed registration. If an event is paid, then they are added only if they have paid. If the event is free, then they will also be added

Your site should show an update notice for MailChimp later today.

Before updating, please backup your site:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-back-up-your-site/

Then look for MailChimp for Event Espresso 4 in your list of plugins in your WordPress dashboard and click to update it. If there are updates for other add-ons for Event Espresso 4, then you can go ahead and update them as well.

Also, if you would like to change the default behavior for MailChimp, then you can do so by going to Event Espresso –> MailChimp. Then make changes as needed and then save.

Thanks


Lorenzo
