Hi there,

Congratulations for the great plugin and all its addons.

There is a line of code in the Multiple Event Registration addon that is conflicting with the Jigoshop plugin (but this doesn’t mean is because of the Jigoshop plugin since the fatal error can happen with other plugins as well).

If you open the “espresso-multi-registration.php” file, under the /plugins/espresso-multiple/ folder, around line 70 you have a line of code with “session_start();”.

We suggest you remove that line and replace it for this piece of code so the user session only starts once:

//

function session_init() {
if (!session_id()) {
session_start();
} //close if (!session_id())
} //close session_init()

add_action(‘init’, ‘session_init’);

//

If that line is not modified, a website with the Multiple Event Registration add-on for Event Espresso and Jigoshop installed (and with both plugins activated) will give a fatal error after a product is added to the shopping cart.

Also, changing that line will avoid website administrators having to change the “session_start();” line manually every time there is a plugin upgrade.

You can read more about the Jigoshop developers suggestions on it here: http://forum.jigoshop.com/discussions/problems/2487-fatal-error-after-upgrade#comment_16123355

Since we usually install Event Espresso and Jigoshop on client websites, we would like to know if you would be ok making this change on the next upgrade of the Multiple Event Registration add-on so we avoid the issue in the future.

Thanks for your help.
