Hi, when I click “register now” at the ticket list the next page only shows the shortcode [ESPRESSO_CHECKOUT] without the forms. Please i need advice. Thanks.

Hi there,

The community forums aren’t monitored by support staff as actively as the premium forums, as you have a support license you can post there for fast responses.
(I will move this post to that forum)

Are you using the latest version of Event Espresso 4? We recently found a plugin conflict that caused this that was fixed in 4.8.24. If you are not using that version can you please update and retest this.

Hi Tony, i upgrade the version as you told me but no, the problem persist.
This is the link of the event http://www.stimulus.com.pe/events/clab-peru-2016/
Please test it and advice.
Thanks

Ok, edit your registration checkout page, this one:

http://www.stimulus.com.pe/registration-checkout/

Make no changes but simply click to update.

Then go to Event Espresso -> General Settings -> Critical Pages.

Check that ‘Registration Checkout’ is selected within ‘Registration Checkout Page’ dropdown – http://take.ms/6kmFs

Then click save.

Does the shortcode now work?


Jose

I follow the instructions but no, it doesn’t work.

Create a new page, it can be called anything, for example ‘Checkout’ and place [ESPRESSO_CHECKOUT] within that page. Use text mode on the editor to make sure there are not unexpected characters within the shortcode.

Publish that page.

Then go to Event Espresso -> General Setting -> Critical pages

Within the ‘Registration Checkout Page’ mentioned above, select the new page you have just created and save the settings. Then run a test registration and see if that works.

If not it may be a theme or plugin conflict, but lets confirm the above first.

Hi Jose,

Could you deactivate Event Espresso 4 through your WP dashboard?

Then go to the Registration Checkout page and trash and permanently delete it. Then create a new page called registration checkout and add the following shortcode and then publish it:

[ESPRESSO_CHECKOUT]

Afterwards, reactivate Event Espresso 4 through the plugins screen in your WP dashboard. Then try another registration.

Hi Lorenzo, Tony
I try both solutions and it doesn’t work.

Hi Jose,

Does the page work on another theme such as a default WP theme?

How about if only Event Espresso 4 is activated?


Lorenzo


Jose

Hi Lorenzo, sorry i dont understand very well your questions.
I installed EE4 4.7.1 here
http://www.stimulusdemo.com/events/simposium-oro-plata/
That is a demo page of stimulus.com.pe and event espresso works at full (please test it)
Which i dont do in this demo page is install the add-on “Ticketing (EE4+)”

Hi Jose,

We were trying to determine if this was being caused by a conflict with another plugin. I see that you are using visual composer and that was already resolved in the latest version of Event Espresso 4.

Could you temporarily deactivate all other plugins and reactivate only Event Espresso 4 through your WordPress plugins screen within your WP dashboard?

Do the shortcodes then appear?


Lorenzo


Jose

November 20, 2015 at 10:08 am

Hi Lorenzo , is there any other form to test this?
I cant deactivate all plugins…some of the plugin are indispensables to run the website, some plugin are for design and responsiveness…
As I told you before the same page was installed on a demo site with EE 4.7.1 an it works.
Please I need to run the plugin as soon as posible.

Do you have a development copy of that site?

If not I would would recommend creating one.

This can be either locally or using a subdirectory/domain on the server. This allows you to troubleshoot away from view of your users and also allows you to test updates on a copy of the site before running them on the live site.

One of the easiest ways to create a clone of the site is using the duplicator plugin.

If after creating a new page with [ESPRESSO_CHECKOUT] the shortcode doesn’t parse it is likely a theme or plugin conflict, however we don’t know if it’s the theme or a plugin, and if a plugin, which specific plugin is causing it so we need to narrow it down.

4.7.x loads the core file differently than 4.8.x


Jose

November 20, 2015 at 11:07 am

Yes i hace a development site in stimulusdemo.com
Can i install the new version (4.8.x) right there? I understand that the license only support 1 domain.

Hi Jose, you can certainly install Event Espresso 4 on the testing site without activating the support license key.

Hi Lorenzo.
The plugin Templatera (Template Manager for Visual Composer on Steroids
Version 1.1 | By WPBakery) when deactivated resolved the problem.
Note that i couldn’t upgrade to the version 4.8.24.p but the version 4.8.22 which i purchase run ok.
How do i have to proceed? I dont know what is going to happen if i desactivated the plugin on my real site.
Can you solve the problem in a new version of EE4?

Hi Jose,

We released an update earlier this week that ensures that Templatera is compatible. We have a current version of Visual Composer and Templatera running on one of our testing sites.

Could you update Templatera?

Let us know if that resolves the issue.

Hi Lorenzo
I cant updated Templatera. It says that the version 1.1 is already updated. I supposed that i have to upgrade all the WP Bakery Visual Composer that came with the template but they said I need to buy a License for it to get an upgrade. Is there any other way to make it work? Thanks
Thanks.

Hi Lorenzo
I recently deactive Templatera on my production site (stimulus.com.pe –> the one that have EE 4.8.24) and the registration page doesn’t work.

Hi Jose,

We have various members that are using Visual Composer along with Templatera and we fixed this issue in an earlier release this week. We verified this fix on our own testing sites as well as several member sites.

Using an up to date version of Visual Composer, Templatera, and Event Espresso should also fix it for you.

Thanks

Hi Lorenzo.
It’s supposed that newer versions of aplications works ok with previous version of other “side-aplications”. We were not supose to make more payments for an error that isn’t ours. Please let know what we’re going to do if the Visual Composer upgrade doesn’t work. Thanks.

It’s supposed that newer versions of aplications works ok with previous version of other “side-aplications”.

That is not always possible.

With plugin conflicts we can only help when using the latest versions of both plugins, it is impossible for us to provide compatibility for each version of every plugin.

We were not supose to make more payments for an error that isn’t ours.

It is expected that you would be using the latest versions of your plugins and WordPress for not only the reasons above, but using older versions will always run the risk of running into security vulnerabilities and/or plugin conflicts with other plugins.

Please let know what we’re going to do if the Visual Composer upgrade doesn’t work.

We have tested Event Espresso with the latest version of VC and Templatera and it works as expected. If you would like to send me a full copy of your theme I will install it locally with the latest versions of both plugins and see if the shortcode parses.

If you would like to send me a copy of the theme you will need to host the zip file somewhere (for example Dropbox or even the site itself) and provide a link we can dowm the,e from.

(Note this is not a theme review, nor a full compatibility test but simply to check your current issue)

Please download the template at

The theme + EE4 work just fine with the latest version of Visual Composer installed. Since that plugin is required by your theme, I wonder if you can make a backup of the Visual Composer plugin, then delete it from your site, then go to the /wp-admin/themes.php?page=install-required-plugins page on your site, and re-install the Visual Composer plugin? I think it might grab the latest version for you.

Hi I just upgrade visual composer and now i got this error message when click the “register now” error
“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/stimuluscom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/core/helpers/EEH_DTT_Helper.helper.php on line 190”

Please advice.

This means your server is running low on memory, which is expected since Visual Composer requires a lot of memory. You can either contact your host to see if they’ll increase the memory limit or try increasing the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT by editing the wp_config.php file. Something like

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M' );

or

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' );

should work.


Jose

Ok, that problem is resolved but it still appears only [ESPRESSO_CHECKOUT] in my registration page
Make a test:

If you deactivate Templatera again, does it fix the issue?


Jose

November 24, 2015 at 12:30 pm

I deactivate templatera and no, it doesn’t fix the problem. Note that my templatera version still is 1.1 and not 1.1.6

The templatera version number is irrelevant because you’re seeing the same breakage occur with templatera deactivated.

What I can suggest is find which plugin is causing the breakage. You start with Event Espresso activated and activate VC next. If it’s broken with VC + EE4 only, then that’s a start and will help us know where to look next. If it’s not broken with VC + EE4 only, then you continue to reactivate plugins one by one until you find the plugin that’s causing the breakage.

I solved the problem by creating a new registration page. Thanks.
