Hi Paul,

Whats happening here is WP-Email is checking $wp_query->query_vars for ’email’ and if it exists, completely takes over and re-directs the user to the WP-Email form.

If you notice when you go to /event-registration/ there is no problem, when you enter the registration page (which is still on the /event-registration/ page) again no problem. It is when you have entered your Personal info (specifically email) Event Espresso passes this using query_vars, email is part of that and WP-Email does this:

### Function: Load WP-EMail
add_action('template_redirect', 'wp_email', 5);
function wp_email() {
	global $wp_query;
	if( array_key_exists( 'email' , $wp_query->query_vars) ) {
		include(WP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/wp-email/email-standalone.php');
		exit();
	} elseif( array_key_exists( 'emailpopup' , $wp_query->query_vars ) ) {
		include(WP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/wp-email/email-popup.php');
		exit();
	}
}

So any plugin that passes ’email’ will be re-directed, with no easy way to override this. The quick fix is to modify the function to do something like this:

### Function: Load WP-EMail
add_action('template_redirect', 'wp_email', 5);
function wp_email() {
	global $wp_query;
	if( array_key_exists( 'email' , $wp_query->query_vars) && !is_page( 'event-registration' ) ) {
		include(WP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/wp-email/email-standalone.php');
		exit();
	} elseif( array_key_exists( 'emailpopup' , $wp_query->query_vars ) ) {
		include(WP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/wp-email/email-popup.php');
		exit();
	}
}

‘event-registration’ should be changed to whatever your [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] page is although there may be more pages this is needed on.

However this is not a recommended fix, nor can we provide further support for this unfortunately. The WP-Email plugin ideally needs to add a filter to that function to allow you to set ‘excluded’ pages from their redirect which will remove the need to modify core files/functions.
