FAQ

Are there any troubleshooting steps I should try before I post a new thread in the support forum?

First, make sure that you’re running the latest version of Event Tickets. If you’ve got any other add-ons, make sure those are current and running the latest code as well. Also be sure to check our knowledgebase.

The most common issues we see are either plugin or theme conflicts. You can test if a plugin or theme is conflicting by manually deactivating other plugins until just Event Tickets is running on your site. If the issue persists, revert to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the issue is resolved after deactivating a specific plugin or your theme, you’ll know that is the source of the conflict.

Note that we aren’t going to say “tough luck” if you identify a plugin/theme conflict. While we can’t guarantee 100% integration with any plugin or theme out there, we will do our best (and reach out the plugin/theme author as needed) to figure out a solution that benefits everyone.

I’m still stuck. Where do I go to file a bug or ask a question?

Free plugin users can post in the Event Tickets support forum on www.ads-software.com. Our team reviews that forum weekly to look for bug reports.

If you’re already an Event Tickets Plus subscriber, you’re entitled to our actively-monitored Premium Support on our website. Generally, except in times of increased support loads, we reply to all premium support tickets within 24 hours during the business week.

What’s the difference between Event Tickets and Events Tickets Plus?

Event Tickets is our free ticketing plugin that has all the basics you need to sell tickets and collect RSVPs on your website. You can use Event Tickets with or without The Events Calendar.

Event Tickets Plus is a premium plugin that runs alongside Event Tickets and enhances it with extra features, including custom registration fields, shortcodes, WooCommerce integration, enhanced Stripe functionality for Stripe for Tickets Commerce, our mobile ticketing app and more.

Read more to learn which plugin is right for you.

Do I need The Events Calendar to run Event Tickets?

Nope! Event Tickets works with or without The Events Calendar. Even if you don’t have The Events Calendar, you can create RSVPs and tickets on WordPress pages and posts.

Can I email attendees using Event Tickets?

Yes. Event Tickets automatically sends an email confirmation after attendees register or RSVP for an event. If the attendee purchases a ticket, the confirmation email will also provide a ticket to scan at the door for admission.

What add-ons are available for Event Tickets, and where can I read more about them?

The following add-ons are available for The Events Calendar:

• Events Calendar Pro, for adding premium calendar features like recurring events, advanced views, cool widgets, shortcodes, additional fields, virtual events including Zoom integration, video, livestream embed and more!
• Event Aggregator, a service that effortlessly fills your calendar with events from Meetup, Google Calendar, iCalendar, Eventbrite, CSV, and ICS.
• Event Tickets Plus, which allows you to sell tickets for your events using your favorite e-commerce platform.
• Promoter, automated email communication made just for The Events Calendar and Event Tickets. Stay in touch with your attendees every step of the way.
• Community Events, for allowing frontend event submission from your readers and allows event organizers to sell tickets to the events.
• Filter Bar, for adding advanced frontend filtering capabilities to your events calendar.
• Eventbrite Tickets, for selling tickets to your event directly through Eventbrite.

I have a feature idea. What’s the best way to tell you about it?

We’ve got a LoopedIn page where we’re actively watching for feature ideas from the community. Vote up existing feature requests or add your own, and help us shape the future of the products business in a way that best meets the community’s needs.

Great Sales Support

jexus90 October 18, 2024 1 reply

Paul’s been great and patient with all the questions that I’ve asked. Managed to tick all the boxes that I need to purchase this plugin!

Best free Ticketing plugin

George Pattichis October 8, 2024 1 reply

People seem to demand premium services for free, without even investing a minimal effort on their side. If you just spend a bit of time to go through their very thorough docs and kb articles, the features offered in this free plugin surpass many other paid solutions. Thanks for this!

Bad support, no integration with hubspot possible

lispis82 October 2, 2024

The Eventticket Plus (99$!!!) Addon is supposed to enable an “Easy connection” to hubspot, for I need to gather my client’s information in mailing lists. My developer has unsuccesfully tried to make this happen, we have been in contact with support for 6 weeks now. Support was not able to help out (1 E-Mail a day is pretty slow). And in the end suggested to downgrade my PHP to 8.0 (from 8.2) which is ridiculous. It is not possible to escalate the problem to a higher member of staff or to contact support directly. Very, very unsatisfying. I will also post in plugin support forum (again).

Buggy, basic functionality doesn’t work, inaccurate documentation

shamrock82 September 23, 2024 1 reply

I could not get this plugin working in a basic way, despite working closely with the Support team. I reported a major bug to the team (could not duplicate events with tickets successfully, in fact it resulted in tickets and ticket sales being LOST on the source event!), but never heard back on whether it was fixed or not. This company doesn’t seem to do solid release testing with their software, and their documentation often doesn’t align with real-life capabilities of their software. BE CAREFUL using their plugins on mission-critical websites!

Nice plugin

Great plugin and support!
