I am testing an event and the total is showing a crazy amount  – very high. I click the Refresh Total and nothing happens. Please advise why this glitch is happening and how to fix.

Hi Andrea,

Can you post a link to where this is happening so we can investigate?

Just realized in Firefox I am not even able to see the event info to choose ticket quantity?

We’ll need to back track a bit to the page where you actually add the event to the cart. It sounds like the page where you add the event to the cart is missing the event_id, but if you post a link to the page where you add the event to the cart we can confirm whether that’s the case.

I think you are looking for this page?

Thanks, this helps.

It turns out that the event_id is incorrect in the shortcode that makes the add to cart link.

In this case, all you really need to put in an event description is:

[ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] 

and it will load in the event_id automatically. If the add to cart link is used elsewhere (like on a WordPress post or page), you would add the event ID (not the longer unique identifier).

So as an example the shortcode for this specific event would be:

[ESPRESSO_CART_LINK event_id="9"]

Okay when I add the basic shortcode like you mention then the page reads “View Cart” which is very odd. I want it to say “Register For This Event”. Having the words View Cart on the event info page is not a very customary way of registering or adding an event to cart would make more sense. Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi Andrea,

If you’ve already added the event to the cart, it will say view cart. You can clear your session by going to:

https://womens-journal.com/registration-cancelled/

Which will remove the event from your cart.

The [ESPRESSO_CART_LINK] shortcode has an optional “anchor” parameter that you can use to change the link text. Here’s an example:

[ESPRESSO_CART_LINK anchor="Register For This Event"]

The view cart text will display after it’s clicked, but you can make it redirect to the cart automatically with the direct_to_cart parameter. Here’s an example:

[ESPRESSO_CART_LINK anchor="Register For This Event" direct_to_cart=1]

There is more information here in the documentation:

Okay I just did what you said and its working the way I want. I want it to say Register For This Event and then redirect them right to the cart page. Just tested again in Firefox and the total after I selected 2 tickets shows: Total 3000040.00. Still does not appear to be working right.

You’ll need to clear your session first by going here:
