Hi,
The people I’m making the site for with Event Espresso won’t be using Paypal and will simply want those registering for events to pay via bank wire.
I’m trying to figure out how to do this.
Right now, the moment I put in the price under ‘Event Pricing’, Paypal error appears when a user attempts to register for an event.
Basically, I’m looking for a way to post an event, show the price, but allow the user to get to a confirmation page without any paypal option. Confirmation email then automates to the user. Once payment is received, they’ll manually send out emails about payment having been received.
Thanks.

Hi,
Go to the Payment Settings option page in Event Espresso. Find the Electronic Funds Transfer payment gateway and activate it. On the same page, make sure that Paypal is deactivated.

Thanks, I did that.
Here’s a problem since then…
When a user registers, all is well with the page showing details and the Pending status. However, an automated email is not sent to either the customer or the administrator, and ‘Send custom confirmation emails for this event? ‘ is selected as Yes.
Is there a simple setting I’m missing here?
Thanks.

By the way in General Settings ‘Send registration confirmation emails before payment is received?’ is selected as Yes.

Hi,
Have you tested this yourself and are you receiving emails? Are administration emails being received? Have you checked the spam folder?

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I tried registering several times before but neither emails for registering or admin would come.
For some weird reason, today it seems to be working fine. Weird!
I’d like to ask one more question..
Is there a way to make ‘Add More Attendees? (click to toggle, limit 10)’ more obvious, eg make ‘click’ highlighted?
Same thing for ‘Attention!
If you wish to pay by an Electronic Funds Transfer via your bank, please make note of the information below, then click here to finalize your registration’. I’d like to highlight ‘click here’.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Glad its working. It is likely the email server itself, especially if you are on shared hosting that is delaying or causing issues with emails.
Regarding the Addmore attendees etc, the best way is to add some CSS
e.g.
.add-additional-attendee-lnk {
background-color: yellow;
margin-bottom: 50px;
padding: 10px 10px 50px 10px;
border: #000 thin solid;
}
funds
.event_espresso_attention {
background: red !important;
font-weight: bold;
border: #000 thick solid !important;
}
Obviously those are very ugly example, I’m sure you can do better. You may need to include the !important tag in the rules, especially for the Electronic Funds code in order to over ride the existing ones.
This code can be added to your themes style.css or via a plugin such as My Custom CSS.

Hey, thank you!
I was actually going in there themeroller etc css files, knowing full well that it would be a bad idea as I’m sure any update would break that. I’ll give the regular old style.css a try!
Thanks again.

No problem,
You could of course create a new themeroller style, but it may be overkill for what you need.

Wow, never knew that!
I’m going to go check themeroller out.
Will Event Espresso updates break the theme or will it stay in tact?
Thanks.

As the theme will be added to the uploads/espresso/themeroller folder it will stay intact during updates.

Hi Dean,
You know why I’ve been asking such silly questions about the style?
Because one of my CSS codes hadn’t been closed ‘}’, so anything I was doing beyond that, ie styling Espresso, wasn’t working and I was getting confused! Just found out my stupidity a few minutes ago! Going well now. Thanks again for sticking with me!!

:) now that must have been frustrating! I spent two hours once debugging code, just to find I had missed a period out.
