Updates to TEC 4.7 and ET 4.9

Note: Info

Description: We have recently released new versions to our calendar and ticketing plugins, which make them ready for the block editor (codenamed Gutenberg) coming in WordPress 5.0

This was a major change. To be able to take full advantage of automatic updates, please update the plugins in the following order:

  1. Events Calendar PRO and Event Tickets Plus
  2. The Events Calendar and Event Tickets

Gutenberg compatibility

Note: Reading

Description: With the latest releases of our plugins we are compatible with Gutenberg. (See above.)

If you would like to postpone using Gutenberg check out this article.

QR code scanner does not recognize API key

Status: In Progress

Description: When scanning a valid QR code of a ticket, an error message similar to the below appears on the screen:

  • “Please Verify API Key is Correctly Entered on the Settings Page”

In some cases the server configuration is not allowing the URL (that is coming from the QR code) to go through properly. The URL should be returning a JSON response, but it instead looks to be redirecting to a HTML page. Please contact your hosting provider to investigate this.

In case server configuration is right and confirmed by the hosting provider, then create a support ticket with the following information:

  • Set up a test event in the future and share the URL
  • Set up a ticket for the event that our support team can ‘purchase’ for free, so we can receive a QR code to scan
  • Share with us the API key for the app

Community Tickets > Adaptive (‘split’) payments has been deprecated by PayPal

Status: On Hold

Description: Adapative payments and NVP / SOAP apps more generally have been sunsetted by

PayPal, effective as of 01 December 2017.

Split payments should still work for existing users, but new users will not be able to take advantage of this feature for the time being. We are looking into different options to replace adaptive payments in our Community Tickets plugin.

With WPML, the ‘View all’ URL of a recurring event points to the wrong event occurrence

Status: Won’t Fix

Description: When using WPML and you create a recurring event, then the “View All” link will points to the URL of the current event. Though we acknowledge the existence of a problem here, due to planned future changes and the fact this relates to integration with a third party product, we will not be taking further action in relation to this issue.
