i.ahmed,

Thanks for the response. I have indeed done something very similar. I added a functions.php to my child theme containing the following:

$using_ssl = isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' || $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443;
add_action('wp', 'check_ssl');
function check_ssl()
{
  if ( $using_ssl )
  {
    header('Location: https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    exit;
  }
}

It enables all https requests to be redirected to http. Let me explain – the registration-complete page is the Auto Returm URL I have specified for PayPal which requires an https landing page if you dont want to see an unsecure popup appearing in browser (Firefox) on return, something like the following:

Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?

THe code above satisfies the initial return to https and I then redirect to http which is ok because no sensitive info is displayed on page to user.

THanks again for your help.

Franky,

I actually bound a change function (using jQuery) to the parsed field name (#_SEATS1) which works without having to burrow into #_SEATS to add onchange().
Thanks.

<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery( "select[name=bookedSeats1]" ).change(function () {
...
</script>

Update – apologies – theme is not broken with the child css override. Just wondering why I need to override in first place.

Resolved.

The links looked identical in events and alternative page but followed your instructions anyway. It now works. Thanks for your excellent service – much appreciated.

Reasonable suggestion. I will accept that it is most likely something to do with my setup on amazon.
thanks.

Yes – still using cloud – thanks for giving me a little more info. I have similar problem with the less good Fast Secure Contact Form shortcode and prefer contact form 7.
However, Clean and Simple Contact Form shortcode works – but the form is too simple for my needs.

I wonder is there anyway to debug the problem – apologies if this seems like an ignorant question.

thanks for your help.

Just an update – reinstalled wordpress (3.7.1) with no plugins activated except contact form 7 – twentythirteen theme – still have same problem – shortcodes work ie (dont see [caption])

THerefore I reasonably conclude this is a plugin problem in wordpress 3.7.1
