Hi,
Apologies for the multiple posts as I try to configure everything! I have scanned through a lot of the earlier posts on this issue but cannot find an answer that solves my problem. With the MER plugin enabled, the “Add to Cart” button has not appeared as it is supposed to. I have the latest version of WordPress but possibly the issue is with my theme (which I definitely do NOT want to change!)
Here is a link to my event registration page: http://www.drsketchysdublin.com/event-registration/?ee=1
I’m not crazy on the iframe, but guess that is a theme issue. I’m using the Grid Template: http://www.drsketchysdublin.com/upcoming-events-2/
Is there a way to change the information shown when hovering over the event blocks? The standard tickets are €15 for some events but the preview sometimes shows the €10 student price in preview.
Finally, in the payments overview page, where you must select a payment option, the page shows a big empty frame with the Paypal button right down in the corner of it. Is there a straightforward fix to this?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi there,
I’ll follow up with each of your questions below:
> With the MER plugin enabled, the “Add to Cart” button has not appeared as it is supposed to.
I can confirm that this isn’t a theme issue and it’s working as expected. It actually is appearing in the one place it’s supposed to which is on this page:
http://www.drsketchysdublin.com/event-registration/
It’s supposed to appear on the standard event list page and where ever you place an [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] shortcode.
> I’m not crazy on the iframe but guess that is a theme issue.
What iframe?
> Is there a way to change the information shown when hovering over the event blocks? The standard tickets are €15 for some events but the preview sometimes shows the €10 student price in preview.
There is, but it does involve making modifications to the display templates. There’s an event price shortcode that can be used to override the default way the price gets displayed. Here’s what you replace the standard price code with:
<?php echo $org_options['currency_symbol'].do_shortcode('[EVENT_PRICE event_id="'.$event_id.'" number="0"]'); ?>
> Finally, in the payments overview page, where you must select a payment option, the page shows a big empty frame with the Paypal button right down in the corner of it. Is there a straightforward fix to this?
Possibly if it’s the theme that’s causing the big empty space. Can you try wrapping the shortcode on the /event-registration page with the [raw] short tag?
It will look like this:
[raw][ESPRESSO_EVENTS][/raw]

Thanks Josh, so the cart button doesn’t really work if I used the Grid template as the landing page for the events. Do any of the other templates work with the cart button before I buy a different one?
I appreciate the prompts responses and will come back to you on the other issues when I work through your solutions.

Hi Niamh,
I do not think any of them add the add to the cart button out of the box, but with a little template hacking it’s possible to add them. Alternatively you can place the [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] within the event’s description and it will also work from there.
