Hey guys, I am running into an issue with event espresso. When someone is signing up for an event, there are multiple ticket options each with different pricing. Often times members will skip over it by mistake and choose the wrong option. I would like the dropdown to be blank by default and require them to choose an option so they don’t skip over it as this would make it much more user friendly. Is there a way i can achieve this?

Hi Andi,

How are you today?

What are members skipping over? What is the difference with the ticket selection being blank verses 0?

They are skipping over the Ticket Options. I want it to be blank and require the members to choose an option in order to continue. If it selects an option by default, it makes it easier for them to skip over without paying attention. Does that make sense?

Do you see where it says “Choose an Option” in red? I want it to be blank by default or REQUIRED so that someone signing up has to select an option.

Thanks for the link. That is the pricing option which pulls its information from the pricing options set in the event editor with your WP dashboard. You won’t be able to add a blank there but there is another way to handle this.

The pricing option can be relocated to the end of the registration form — that is after the questions but before the submit button.

We have a tutorial for that here:

It would also be helpful to expand the width for the pricing options so they are completely visible. This line of CSS will take care of that for you:

.event_espresso_form_wrapper select#price_option-12.valid {width:50%}

It can be added to your child theme’s stylesheet or a plugin like My Custom CSS or Reaktiv CSS Builder.
