I am having trouble writing the proper shortcode for a custom question and answer to appear in my email templates. [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_facility-name] Here is a screen shot of my question… http://postimg.org/image/os71c3txt/ What am I doing wrong? |
Hi there, Where exactly are you using the shortcodes? It most likely will either be:
Depending on exactly where you are using the shortcode. It could also possibly be [ANSWER_*Facility Name] within the ATTENDEE_LIST section. Post a screenshot of where you are adding the shrotcode and we should be able to help https://eventespresso.com/wiki/troubleshooting-checklist/#screenshots |

I am trying to use them in the Payment Received email template. Which is available under editing each event. http://postimg.org/image/6qcstd9tt/ http://postimg.org/image/v7rkvep6p/ Is the payment received the default email that is sent to the admin and user who registers? |
Hello, That would be this shortcode: [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*] …where you would use the exact text for the question. For example, if this was the question: What is your favorite food? …then this would be the exact shortcode: [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*What is your favorite food?] If you are not sure about the question text, then you can check it through Event Espresso –> Registration –> Questions and then look at the question name. Also, your support license for your site has expired so you’ll no longer be able to update.

Thanks for the response. I have inserted what I think is correct but nothing appears in test email for that new question. I have attached a screen shot of the created question and the short code in place. Can you verify if this looks correct please? |
It looks correct, but you probably won’t see anything in a test email. You’ll need to do a registration and answer the question to check the output. |
