Hi,

As i have to use Mijireh, i now am required to use Event Espresso 4. I get the Nothing in your event queue error. I have tried changing theme and disabling all plugins. Nothing works.

I dont have cache. I have talked to my host, they say that their cache can’t have anything to do with it.

What can i do. This i really urgent now?

My link is: ørc.dk

Thank you!

Hi Alexander,

Looking at the site I can see a couple of issues.

When you see the ‘Nothing in your event queue’ message is that from using this link? http://take.ms/kKVre

If so that link is for EE3 /event-registration/?ee=3 notice the ‘?ee=3’, that was used in EE3 to pass the event_id to the event-registration page to display the correct event.

Within EE4 you need to use the ticket selector to pass this information to the event-registration page. Try using the ESPRESSO_TICKET_SELECTOR shortcode such as:

[ESPRESSO_TICKET_SELECTOR event_id=”your_event_id”]

However, when viewing your site and navigating to:

http://xn--rc-kka.dk/events/
http://xn--rc-kka.dk/events/oerc-2015/

Very little information is displayed, which likely means your themes archive.php (or index.php) and single.php file calls very little information (as EE4 uses your theme) there are a couple of ways to fix this, are you currently using a child theme?

Hi,

The shortcode is on: http://ørc.dk/event-registration/

I’m not using a child theme.

My theme is Divi from Elegant Themes

That URL resolves to

http://xn--rc-kka.dk/event-registration/

If you edit that page you’ll find it contains [ESPRESSO_CHECKOUT]

With EE4 that page does not list all of your events, by default this link does:

http://xn--rc-kka.dk/events/

Can you test something please?

Create a new page, place only [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] on that page and post the link to that page here so we can view it please.


Alexander Schmidt

Hi,

It’s done.
http://ørc.dk/registration-test/

I still can’t register for the event.


Tony

  • Support Staff

October 8, 2014 at 8:41 am

Ok, now swap the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode for this:

[ESPRESSO_TICKET_SELECTOR event_id=963]

963 should be the ID of your event to check go to Event Espresso -> Events. Check the ID column next to your event.

The reason you can not register is due to your sites theme, you may need to create a child theme for style EE4 events correctly and pulling in all of the information.

However I’d like to be sure EE4 is functioning correctly first, which is why we are running through these steps.


Alexander Schmidt

October 8, 2014 at 8:48 am

Hi,

It’s now done – still the same.

Will you help with child theme and styling?

Thank you!


Tony

We can help setup a child theme if you purchase a Support Token

However the strange part is that even when themes do strange things (as they commonly do) the ESPRESSO_TICKET_SELECTOR shortcode should work.

Would it be possible for me to take a look at the install and see if I can see anything obvious? If so please send temporary login details using this form:

Hi,

I’ve sent the information.

It does not make sense for me to purchase a support token for you to help me? I’ve paid for the plugin, and the only reason i’m updating, is because Event Espresso 3 didn’t work correctly either. There must be some sort of guarantee? It’s pretty urgent that this works soon, or we will have to find a better solution.

We are getting many complaint from participiants because of the errors in the system.

Thank you.

Hi Alexander,

I can clarify that you do not need to purchase a support token to get support for Event Espresso. Customizing child themes and styling is outside the scope of Event Espresso support (Themeing is actually a theme customization, and some theme shops can help with that).

We’d like to rule out whether it’s the theme that’s causing the errors that you are reporting. Can you follow these troubleshooting steps to rule out the theme?

1) You install the theme test drive plugin
2) Go to Appearance > Theme Test drive and set it to test the Twentyfourteen theme
3) While logged in as admin, you test a registration.


Alexander Schmidt

Hi,

I’ve now tried that. Exactly the same issue.

Thank you.


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 1:44 am

Also – my hosting has just confirmed that no caching goes on at all.


Tony

October 9, 2014 at 2:51 am

Then it looks like this may not actually be caused by your theme. You mention you have also tried with all plugins disabled? Can you do this whilst using theme test drive and navigate to /events/oerc-2015/ with them disabled, if again nothing is displayed can you try re-installing Event Espresso using the plugin uploader.

First create a site backup (at least the database) we have a guide here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-back-up-your-site/

Then go to Your Account Page.

Download the latest version of Event Espresso 4 from there.

Then go to Dashboard -> Plugins. De-activate and Delete EE4.
(None of your events will be lost as they are stored within the database)

Now go to Plugins -> Add New -> Upload plugins. Select the latest version of EE4 you have just downloaded then install and activate that version.


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 2:57 am

Hi,

None of that worked.

Sorry, but this is getting really confusing.


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 4:35 am

Sorry i keep pushing, but this i pretty urgent now. We have promised people that they could register several days ago, so we just look unprofessional now.


Tony

I’d like to run some troubleshooting on the site which would involve disabling plugins, switching the theme and enabling WP_Debug to see if we can find the cause for this.

Could you create a full site backup (just to be safe) and enable WP_Debug or provide FTP details (again using this form) so that I can enable/disable this when needed.


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 6:31 am

Hi,

I have a backup. WP_Debug is set to ‘true’.

Thank you!


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 6:32 am

Can you activate a maintenance mode, so our customer’s won’t see the mistakes?


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 6:40 am

And when can i expect the registration to run?


Tony

  • Support Staff

October 9, 2014 at 6:51 am

If you like to put the site into maintenance mode I would recommend installing a plugin such as WP Maintenance Mode and using that display any messages you would like to your sites visitors. This would be active across the full site and displayed to all non-logged in users.

I’ll investigate this further as soon as you are ready.


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 6:56 am

I’m ready! Please go ahead!

Thank you!


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 7:35 am

And please keep me updated!

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Alexander,

Your event was set to not display the ticket selector, so it wasn’t possible to register onto the event. This setting here – http://take.ms/BHhDh

That is intended to allow you to post up events with the ticket selector disabled, then you can enabled it at later date (prevents displaying a selector with no tickets available) so I have enabled that setting for your event.

I would like to apologise for assuming this was an issue with the theme, as it is not causing any issues, you have no details within your event to be displayed which I assumed you would have, and that they were simply not being displayed. But that is not the case.

If you visit your event here:

http://xn--rc-kka.dk/events/oerc-2015/

You’ll see the selector is now displayed on the event and you can register onto the event.

However EE4 works differently to EE3, you can not link directly to the page you are using currently (will always get ‘Nothing in your event queue’ when directrly linking that page) for the ‘Tilmeld’ links – http://take.ms/Os8Ci

If you change those links to go to the actual event:

http://xn--rc-kka.dk/events/oerc-2015/

Users can then register onto the event again.

I have noticed 1 issue that I have now created a ticket for. Within Settings -> General -> Time Format. You currently have ‘G:i’, this is causing your Datetimes to show a time of ‘0:00’ – http://take.ms/3vh8S

We will need to investigate this further, for the time being I recommend changing the Time format, using something like ‘g:i a’ until we release a fix.

Once you have changed any links pointing to /event-registration/?ee=3 to /events/oerc-2015/ your site should then function as expected.

October 9, 2014 at 7:50 am

Okay – cool! Thank you!


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 7:58 am

Also – how do i translate? I can’t seem to download the .pot file from GitHub.
And when translated what should i call the file, and in what folder should it be in?


Tony

  • Support Staff

October 9, 2014 at 8:09 am

You could download the files from http://translate.eventespresso.com

Rename the file to event_espresso-*locale*.mo

Then place that file within wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/

Have you set your locale within General Settings?


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 9:51 am

Yes – it works now!
But i have a huge problem. There were over 20 registered to the event before we began. Now there are only 1. How do I get them back?


Tony

  • Support Staff

October 9, 2014 at 9:58 am

I did not alter the registrations within the event, have you restored a backup at all?

Where those registrations from EE3 or EE4?


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 9:59 am

They are from EE3. And if I disable EE4, activate EE3 they are still there. How do I move them?


Tony

  • Support Staff

October 9, 2014 at 10:01 am

What is the registration status for those attendees?

When you upgraded to EE4, did you not migrate the data over?


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 10:02 am

I did migrate. The event from last year with all 475 attendees is also in EE4. And ØRC 2015 is in EE4, but was created in EE3. Only the attendees from ØRC2015 hasn’t been moved.


Tony

October 9, 2014 at 10:07 am

What is the registration status for those attendee within EE3?

If you view the attendee list within EE3, you’ll find a ‘status’ column, what icon is displayed for the missing attendees? – http://take.ms/KfE5Z


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 10:07 am

Some are complete, some are incomplete.


Tony

  • Support Staff

October 9, 2014 at 10:25 am

Hmm, then I’m not sure why those attendee have not transferred over.

Unfortunately you can not export attendees from EE3 and import them to EE4, this would need to be done manually by creating the registrations with the same details used in EE3.

The other option is to completely remove EE4 and re-migrate to see if it migrates those attendees correctly this time. However that will depend on why they did not migrate originally.


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 11:43 am

Okay, i will move them manually. Things are beginning to work now, so thanks a lot for all your help. It’s really appreciated.

Is it possible to hide the ‘show details +’ button? And whats the shortcake if i want to show attendees list?


Lorenzo Orlando Caum

Hi,

This can be used to show a list of attendees in Event Espresso 4:

https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/55f20059953119b46b34

It can go into your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/)

This line of CSS can be used to hide the show details area of the ticket selector:

.display-tckt-slctr-tkt-details.display-the-hidden.lt-grey-text.smaller-text {display:none;}


Lorenzo


Alexander Schmidt

October 9, 2014 at 12:27 pm

Cool! I’ve added it to my theme’s functions.php. How do I make it as a shortcode?

@ Alexander, the code will add the attendee list at the end of the single event page.

@ Matthew, you can unsubscribe from any topics by clicking the following button (it will say say Subscribe when you are not subscribed):

Nice!
So i’m quite new to PHP. How can I show boat name too? It’s a question that all attendees must fill out.

Thank you!


Josh

  • Support Staff

October 13, 2014 at 10:53 am

Hi Alexander,

This will involve writing some additional custom PHP to select the boat name info another table. You’ll notice that in the gist that Lorenzo linked to, it’s SELECTing the Attendee name info FROM the wp_esp_attendee table.

It also depends on how you’re capturing the boat name info. If the boat name is an answer that gets filled out on the registration form, you’ll write a query to SELECT the boat name answer (or ANS_value) FROM the wp_esp_answer table. If the boat name is a ticket selection, you’ll write a query to SELECT the boat name ticket selection FROM the wp_esp_ticket.

Here’s a good guide that outlines how to get started with writing custom database queries in WordPress:
