I first experienced this issue on our dev site. Thinking it might be due to some new code added, I did a test transaction on our live site and the same issue occurred.
What is happening is when I go to the checkout while logged in. I am logged in as Anna Jardine anna@nrtraininggroup.com… the name of Attendee1 of that transaction becomes the new name in my logged in account, even if it’s a different email in the transaction. I used eventespressotest@ee.com for Attendee 1…
I see now it did not create a separate user account for attendee 1 either for eventespressotest@ee.com. For some reason, it linked attendee 1 to the logged in account.
Another observation, this only occurs once I hit the ‘finalize payment’ button in the checkout. As soon as this button is pushed, my name in my logged in account is changed to whatever I put in Attendee 1.
The WP User Integration add-on was designed to be used to track your own registrations made when logged in, it sounds like you are using it for a logged-in user to create registrations for others.
Before digging into the points you’ve raised, how are you expecting your registrations to work currently?
Thanks for all of this information. I think it is fine the way it is for now. At least I know about this additional plugin and it’s function for the future.
