Hi Mark,

I haven’t heard of this happening before. Have there already been registrations for the event? If not, you could duplicate the event, then change it to unlimited in the new one. If there have already been registrations, you could use the attendee mover add-on that is included in the pre-release channel (you’ll need to opt-in from your account) to move attendees to the new event, if the previous suggestion works. 🙂

Let us know.

Hi Mark,

Unless a value has been set in the Max Group Registrants option it will indeed default to 5.

I cannot replicate that a duplicate event would reset this value.

If you need an unlimited number of max group registrants, please set the figure very high e.g. 99999.

Please note that currently the max number that can be registered is 127, we are looking to increase that figure in the next release.

Hi Mark,

This isn’t possible in the admin area, a figure always needs to be set.

From a front end point of view, the only mention of the limit I can see is when using Multiple Event Registration add on and it says: You can register a maximum of XXX attendees for this event.

A little bit of CSS can remove this. Just add the following to your themes style.css file or to a plugin such as My Custom CSS:

.reg-allowed-limit { display:none; }

Hi Mark,

OK, the best way to resolve it is via translations.

You could either do a translation via the language files (see here https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/) or by adding the following function into your themes functions.php file:

function youruniqueprefix_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {

    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'Add More Attendees? (click to toggle, limit %s)' => 'Add More Attendees?'
        // Add some more strings here
    );

    // See if the current string is in the $strings array
    // If so, replace it's translation
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        // This accomplishes the same thing as __()
        // but without running it through the filter again
        $translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }

    return $translated;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'youruniqueprefix_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );
