Shopping cart not displaying Event Description

    We are setting up a multiple ticket type Event registration. When we send folks to the Shopping Cart to select their ticket type, the Event description is not visible there nor on the page for entering Attendee information.

    We want the description to be visible to folks so they can determine the type of ticket they need to buy or select. We are able to add that information on the page that sends users to the Shopping Cart, just not able to add it to actual Shopping Cart page.

    We will be hosting more than just this first event on their website, so the fix needs to be flexible for future events too.

    Here’s the weblink:

    Thanks for your help.

      Hi Brandon,

      If you go to Event Espresso > Template settings you’ll see an option that allows you to display the event descriptions on the Multi-event registration page. It’s labeled “Display event descriptions in the multiple event registration pages?” and you set that to yes to enable it.

      The cart view does not display the event’s description. If you’re handy with PHP templating it is something that can be added by copying over code from one of the templates that does display the event’s description into the shopping_cart.php template. The templates that are in the /templates folder of the Event Espresso plugin can be copied over to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates and they’ll not get overwritten on updates. There is some documentation on where to copy customized templates in the documentation section:

        Where is the page that shows all the events available for registration? Or barring that, what is the short code to insert into a page so we can display all available events. (ideally display them with the descriptions)

        Thanks!

          Hi Brandon,

          This page:

          https://nctroopers.org/event-registration/

          on its initial view displays all the events available for registration. It’s a dynamic page that changes once you click through to the next step. You can create a static version of the same view by creating a new page and placing the [EVENT_LIST] shortcode on it.
