questions not recording answers

We have been collecting registrations for our event.

Our event has each attendee select 4 event they want to participate in.

The first registrant is a parent or guardian, they then click add attendee and then enter their child’s info and selections.

we had it setup with multiple choices “check boxes” but it would only record 1 out of the 4 choices

So now we changed it to a separate questions “radio button”

Choice 1
Choice 2
choice 3
choice 4

however when they add multiple attendees “say they have three children it does not record the data and it changes the data for each registrant when you make a change to another.

I then tried to use separate questions as check boxes all this did was keep the first record then each attendee all checkboxes were selected and you had to uncheck each checkbox and leave the desired one checked. This obviously is not going to work.

So currently i set it to separate questions all drop downs im still testing

What would cause this?

It sounds like you might have an older version of Event Espresso. I’d recommend updating to the latest version. This can be downloaded from the downloads section of your account page.

Here are instructions on how to update Event Espresso: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/updating-event-espresso/

After updating to 3.1.24.P, future updates will be updated via a plugin updater.

Does your event have “Allow group registration” set to yes with a number of additional attendees set to a value greater than 0?

It looks like your footer.php is missing the wp_footer() function. You must’ve been on a very old version of Event Espresso because the scripts that handle that have been in the footer for quite some time.

Make sure your theme is loading up jQuery version 1.7 or higher.

Some themes load up their own copy or load it from Google’s CDN. The newer versions of Event Espresso depend on jQuery being up to the version that WordPress has.

You could also try wrapping the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode with [raw] tags:
[raw][ESPRESSO_EVENTS][/raw]

The issue is coming from this javascript error on the page:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier /event-registration/?ee=3:272

I’m just not sure why you’re getting that error now. You can try creating a new event to see if it has something to do with this being an old event from a previous version. Failing that, you can try disabling your other plugins (particularly the ones that use jQuery on the front end, but if you don’t know that, just go down the list) and see if you can figure out if one of them is causing a conflict.

Then it has to be something with one of your questions. Try removing one question at a time from the question group to see if you can narrow down which one is the culprit.

I disabled all plugins one by one and still not working. As soon as i deselect the specific questions group for additional attndees it allows the link to work but without the questions

We did some recent work to escape the ‘ (single quote) that some use as an apostrophe in the questions. We may have missed the question groups.

It looks like there is some text in the question *group* description that is throwing a JavaScript error.

Where it says: “Enter the information for the child attending and participating in the Jake’s Day event” replace the single quote with an html entity as featured here: http://rsquo.net/

Yay!!! Its was 2 questions a radio button question and a text field question…

Why would the question have caused that to happen

We added escaping to these inputs so it should work in the current version. We’ll need to look into this again.

What was happening is the ‘ gets interpreted in JavaScript, and since it didn’t belong, the script stopped running right there.

See Josh’s post and replace any single quotes ( ‘ ) with ’
