PDF Not Printing

I cannot get the PDF invoice to print as an admin nor can the clients as customers.
When trying to print as an admin I get 500 (Internal Server) Error.
Clients have not supplied actual error…they just say it doesn’t print.

Sorry…I wasn’t done typing post…

Can you guys login to look at it or do you have suggestions on what to look at?

Here’s the link I try to print as an admin…not sure if this will help at all.

Hi there Eric,

I was able to see the error. I also noticed that you are on an older version of Event Espresso @ 4.2. The latest is 4.2.7:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-changelog/

Could you please backup your site and update to the latest version?

Then let us know if the issue continues.

Lorenzo,
A couple of things…I backed up the WP database prior to running the upgrade.
I ran the upgrade and it hosed the site.. 🙁

I restored from my daily cpanel backup now all my events are gone or misconfigured.
After restoration Event Expresso was deactivated.
I reactivated and all the events were jacked up.

Can you please help me restoring and upgrading this plugin? It’s a little above my head…

Sorry to hear that. You were able to restore from a backup which is good.

Is the site now on a prior version of the database along with the prior version of EE 4.2?

Are any events missing or are you seeing styling issues on the front end?

EE is Version 3.1.36.4.L

The events look to be missing…

Hi Eric,

Your site was running 4.2.0 before:

https://eventespresso.com/topic/pdf-not-printing/#post-106497

Did you backup through WordPress using a plugin before updating or through cpanel?

We need the database to be restored to when the site was on EE 4.2.0. That should be the most recent backup.

Hi Eric,

It might help to clarify that EE version 3.1.36.4.L is not an upgrade from 4.2. version 3.1.36.4.L doesn’t have a PDF feature, and the shortcodes it uses to display events are not the same as the shortcodes that 4.2 uses. For example, [ESPRESSO_TICKET_SELECTOR] is an Event Espresso 4-only shortcode.

You will need to deactivate Event Espresso 3.1.36.4.L and then install the current version of Event Espresso 4.2.7 in order to get back on track.

Well I am lost…

Here is what I have available in my EE account..

EE4 Events Calendar v3.0.0.reg
Event Espresso 4 Core Regular v4.2.7.p

Custom Templates Add-on v1.0
JSON API v2.1.2.P
Event Espresso v3.1.36.5.P
Social Media v1.1.7
Events Calendar v2.2.4.p

FYI..as you can tell I did not install or configure this but am just trying to manage it.

I do not know how I had one version this morning then after a daily restore ended up with an older version of EE.

Just trying to get it working again…Help! :-/

Hi Eric,

The first step is to deactivate Event Espresso 3 Lite from your WordPress plugins admin page. Here is some documentation on how to manage WordPress plugins:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins_Screen#Manage_Plugins

The second step will be re-installing Event Espresso 4 Core Regular v4.2.7.p. We have some documentation on how to download Event Espresso from your account page and install onto your website here:
