You can not remove those fields otherwise the system will not know how to process the transactions. What are you trying to accomplish?

By the way, to clarify what I am trying to accomplish, is that I am using this software for selling tent accommodation at four people per tent for big events i.e one main attendee (who would use the personal info fields) and up to three more additional attendees. The site owner’s requirements are(I am building it for them)that each additional attendee has a first name, last name and mobile. I dont want a mandatory email field for each additional attendee for camping. I understand the necessity of personal info for paypal, but not all the additional attendees are going through paypal, just the main one.

I need to accomplish the same thing. I purchased the Custom Files addon just to be able to read the answers on this question. I need a way to remove the Personal Information as well. A “teacher” will submit only their students. Each student will need a subset of questions to answer. I don’t want the teacher to have to put in an email address on every student. PLEASE HELP…we’re on a strict deadline. If we don’t get the new site up, we’ll have to scrap it and stay with the old site until we find a working solution.

Thanks.

If you remove the personal information questionfrom the additional attendees, the registration system will not work as expected (ie. it will break). Each registration needs a name and email address. Here is how I work around that limitation: Set ‘Additional Attendee Registration info’ to No info required. This will display a ticket quantity selector if group registrations are set to yes. Then include optional ‘student information questions’ for up to the number of students per the max group registration.

As Josh said above, each registration needs a name and email address. So the following fix may or may not work.

Since you are using the Custom Files addon and I assume that you have installed it. You can copy the “event_espresso_additional_attendees” function from the event-espresso/includes/functions/main.php into the wp-content/uploads/espresso/custom_functions.php file. Then remove, or comment out, the email address field.

The email address fields look something like this:

$htm .= '<p>';
$htm .= '<label for="x_attendee_email">' . __('Email:', 'event_espresso') . '</label>';
$htm .= '<input type="text" name="x_attendee_email[\' + attendee_num + \']" class="input"/>';
$htm .= '</p>';

Does that help?

Sorry to bump this thread, I don’t much like deadlines myself. Is this possible to do or should I start looking for alternatives? Thanks in advance.

@Wes
It’s been said a couple times here, but it looks like from the screenshot you are posting that you haven’t added attendee-only question groups to your event.

The Personal Information group (which you can rename to whatever you want if you want it to be more obvious that it is for the Director’s name/email, etc) will be asked of all attendees. Additional questions can be asked just of the primary attendee by adding a specific question group for Primary Attendees (e.g. if you wanted to ask the name of the school from the Director, but not additional attendees). Then, you can select a separate question group for additional attendees that are not asked of the Primary Attendee.

You would do this if you wanted specific information for each additional attendee. If you didn’t need any additional attendee information and everyone would have the same information, you can require No Additional Info and put all your custom questions into a group that is added to the Event Questions for Primary Attendee.
