I figured out that there were a couple problems. The first being that the theme i was using wasn’t allowing for Woocommerce to be updated so i was unable to create products with set prices. To fix this i chose another theme that was similar and changed the website over which wasn’t too hard as most of the pages were created with Elementor so it transferred over nicely.
The second problem was the plugin conflict with YOAST SEO which many other people have run into. It stops you from being able to change settings such as venue and event area when configuring the event. So i had to delete that plugin in order to get things working. Everything is working fine now.
