Since I had a number of hours into this, and only was able to get it figured out after Cliff mentioned logging in, I thought I would share the instructions that I just wrote for our staff. If there are instructions somewhere in the Events Calendar website, they were lost on me because I couldn’t find them.

QR Code Checkin
Log in to WordPress on smartphone ~ each person should have their own wordpress login
Go to attendees page of the event. (Select Events, select the specific event, select Attendees. Leave this window open in your phone’s browser.
Scan QR code through a QR code scanning ap – then follow the link to your web browser. QuickMark QR Reader has been the most successful.
Close that new browser window and go to QuickMark ap to check in the next QR code.
The QR code can only check a guest in once automatically. It will not rescan to check out a guest. This needs to be done manually on WordPress in the attendees section if needed. With a wrist band, this shouldn’t be a concern.

I’m sorry Cliff. I didn’t receive notification of your last post. I’ll check into what you have suggested. Thank you, Brad

Is it possible that the wrong QR code is being placed onto the email ticket?

I just don’t know what else can be tried. My next step is to move on to Eventbrite and hope that their check in system works.

Good morning Cliff,

I am not having any success with the quickmark reader either. Is it possible that there is a setting somewhere in the Event Tickets plugin that needs to ‘allow’ QR scanning? I’ve been paging through all of the wordpress places that this may be and cannot find anything.

Every QR scan attempt just brings me to the event page.

Thank you for your continued help.

Thank you Cliff for getting back to me. I’ll try it out on Monday and hopefully all will be good.

Have a great weekend!

I have tried five QR code readers, and they all bring me to the event URL and do not check me in to the test event that I set up. The readers that I have tried are:
Insta QR Code
Code Scanner
QR Reader
i-nigma
QR Scanner

I am on an iphone 6S V 10.2.1

Yes, please share which ones will work.

Thank you,
Brad
