When I first installed Event Espresso I left the multi-event add-on deactivated. I just activated it and have been attempting (unsuccessfully) to get it to work.
From the picture on the documentation page, it appears users should see a list of events to choose from. Per the documentation I defined several pricing options when creating the event. As I understand it, this is the only way to tell Event Espresso there should be a multiple-choice event menu.
Here’s a link to the event registration page:

I am using the latest version of WordPress and all my plugins/add-ons are up to date.

Hi Mark,
First off, it appears that you only have one ticketing option set in the event editor. Also, nothing changes on the Event Details page (when accessing the event from the list), so you won’t see any additional functionality there. You will see an Add To Cart link on the events listing page: http://www.lancairowners.com/event-registration/
If you have multiple pricing/ticketing options set in the event editor, they will then be able to select how many they want of each.

“First off, it appears that you only have one ticketing option set in the event editor.”
I’m not sure what this means. By “ticketing option” do you mean entries under the “Event Pricing” section?
Here’s what I’m trying to accomplish:
I’m creating an event for the purpose of attendee training. The attendees will have a choice of three different classes, all to be held on the same day. The primary attendee for two of the three events will receive a discount if they are a member. Spouses of attendees for these two options will all pay a discounted price regardless of membership status. The third training option costs the same for all attendees regardless of membership status.
Here’s what I did:
I created a new event. In the “Event Pricing” section I added a member/non-member price for each of the first two training options. I added a third price (with no member price) for the third training option. I added an additional price (with no member price) for spouses.
As I understand it, registrants should see a list of payment options to choose from.
Please tell me if I’m doing this wrong.
–Mark

Hi Mark,
That would appear to be the correct steps although the expected out from that is not what is being output on the event list.
I notice you have multiple templates within wp-content/uploads/espressso/templates/
Could you rename wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/ to something like templates-temp please. This will deactivate the templates there and use the default ones from event-espresso/templates/.

Okay, I renamed the Templates folder; that doesn’t seem to’ve changed anything. I’m beginning to think this is not the functionality I’m looking for. Do you have an example of how this type of event menu will look to a user? What I’m envisioning is the user will see an event description with a register button. When they click the register button they’ll see a menu with all the sub-event choices. They’ll select the sub-events they wish to attend and be charged a single total.
From what you’ve explained so far, it appears the only way to see a menu of choices is by clicking “Add to Cart” from the event listing page, THEN going to the registration form. This doesn’t seem very intuitive for users.

BTW, the templates in the templates folder have all been generated by the plugin; I haven’t created any custom templates.

Hi Mark,
There is a demo site here:
https://eventespresso.com/testdrive/
Try adding a couple events to the cart. Then click on the view cart link.
This will take you to a page where you can select specific pricing for each event (or remove an event) and then finish up registration.

I renamed the template as requested. Has anyone had a chance to look at my problem yet?

Hi Mark,
BTW, the templates in the templates folder have all been generated by the plugin; I haven’t created any custom templates.
wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/ is used to override the default templates which are within event-espresso/templates/ So if those templates are the same as the standard templates, please remove them from wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/
What I’m envisioning is the user will see an event description with a register button. When they click the register button they’ll see a menu with all the sub-event choices. They’ll select the sub-events they wish to attend and be charged a single total.
It is possible to set this up with EE3, although it is not the standard registration flow with Event Espresso.
You could use the [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] shortcode to add multiple events within the cart at once, The user would then need to select the ticket quantities for each event. This allows the events to have multiple prices to select from and enables attendee limits for each event.
Or you could setup the sub-events to be tickets themselves. So a use adds an event to the cart, then the sub events are actually tickets within that single event, the problem with this is the attendee limit would be per the actual main event rather than the tickets (sub-events).
EE4 should be able to handle these kinds of events much more easily, although it does not support any of the current Add-on’s so would depend on your feature set requirement, it appears you have WP Members installed currently so this may not be an option currently?
