The error above may occur on the event list page or a single event page. It will happen if you try to register without selecting at least one ticket.

Here is how to fix this issue:

The error above could happen if a registrant/attendee browses directly to the registration checkout page through a link on the website. It may also happen after selecting a ticket and moving to the next step of registration checkout. It is more likely to be caused by a caching plugin or service.

Here is how to fix this issue:

Remove any links to the registration checkout page from the navigation menu for your website (WP-admin –> Appearance –> Menus).

Setup no cache / exclusion rules for the Event Espresso pages. See our guide on how to setup caching plugins with Event Espresso.

Notice: The fixes below will no longer be needed in Event Espresso 4.3 and up.

Deactivate the plugin that is creating the conflict and/or switch to an alternative.
