@gideonkimani,

Yes you are correct, create a product generally labeled Ticket(s).

Updated: I should have noted, you can notice the product ID in the url where it says
/?add-to-cart=4763 this product ID is generally the ticket product you create, but as i mention below you can use multiple products and have events manage select the right one depending on the event category of the event booked. check out my blog article it explains it in greater detail.

If you check out the comments on my blog post on this subject me and a person named Bali stumbled across another way of using this method to be able to sell a different ticket type (WC product) for different event categories. its pretty cool, but lacks a certain elegance. but hay it works.

Events Manager is so powerful i love it, it has so many possibilities.

I read the documentation for managing orders but unfortantly it does not talk about the Calculate tax button, and how it works, and if there needs to be special consideration.

The reason im worried about this is because im trying to send a customer an email with a link to pay for a subscription with their credit card and have it work with auto renewals, and i need the invoice and email to print the tax correctly for legal purposes, and im just trying to test it out first because i remember reading in the Subscriptions documentation that you cannot create a manual order with auto renewals, but i think that the documentation needs to be re-written on that part because I’m not clear if what im doing is going to work or not, and i dont want to switch over to a test gateway and use test credit cards to make sure it all works, i wish i could just read the answer some where.

I know i know! i’m sorry ??

i was in a hurry to post my frustration, sorry to have taken it out on this forum, apologies

I use Askimet and it works perfectly. not sure why everyone doesn’t use it…

What do other people do to force SSL on their WordPress websites for anonymous users?

correction:

/?add-to-cart=4763&set_quantity=#_BOOKEDSPACES is wrong

you cant set_quantity this way. the correct url is:

/?add-to-cart=4763&quantity=#_BOOKEDSPACES

Awesome, thanks heaps for the fast response ??

Works Perfectly ??

no problem on the review, you deserve it.

No worries, I’m glad to have been able to help even if it was in a very small way ??

This is a great plugin I’m surprised its not included in WC core.

Thanks again ??

omg your brilliant, what a great idea, thank you Beka Rice

??

wpengine.com use this on all their WordPress installations by default, i haven’t had any problems with them, and herd mostly good things.

They also like to be a bit picky about what you can and cant do with your WordPress so im confident they know what they are doing with limit login attempts. However they may modify it, i don’t know.

Haven’t seen any issues with this plugin on any of my sites since i reported this so i dunno, maybe it was a plugin conflict that went away with an update of another plugin.

Yeh I have seen the requests and a few threads about it. I was just posting what I was able to come up with, in case it was able to help someone.

??

great plugin by the way ?? it really saved my butt.

So that you can see my setup and test it out, the site im using it on is liveroomescape.com. Customers reserve tickets using wp-events manager and then they receive a booking email that presents a link that adds a ticket product to the cart via a link, i.e: liveroomescape.com/checkout/?add-to-cart=4763&quantity=8 the quantity number is set with a shortcode, to my surprise this works well.

the only issue is, if the customer for whatever reason needs to change the quantity from 8 to 5, clicking update cart doesnt seem to work. (sorry it does work, it just seems to add that number instead of ‘update’ it.)

update: I should note that i have tested this in a few different ways, for example, when i first click the link from the email, i will then navigate away from the checkout to the home page, and then back to the checkout page and then try to update the cart. I thought this might make a difference.

Ok cheers, thanks a lot.

oh now when i use the inspector tool on this very page i see bb-plugins. It seems like its running on bbpress without the need for WordPress. I didnt even know that was possible.

is that what they are doing or am i wayyy off here? haha sorry im still kind of a newb

Yeh i have read posts like this before and stopped any kind of security through obscurity tactics a while ago.

Although as i was using chrome inspector to copy some css for a form im making, i noticed www.ads-software.coms sites folder structure was different to mine and thought i should find out why.

You mentioned www.ads-software.com doesnt use WordPress, im assuming the WordPress team hacked up a version of bbpress that can run on its own or something, but still i cant see much folder structure so i am still a little curious. or maybe im just not looking with the right tool.
