FAQ

Are there any troubleshooting steps I should try before I post a new thread in the support forum?

First, make sure that you’re running the latest version of Event Tickets. If you’ve got any other add-ons, make sure those are current and running the latest code as well. Also be sure to check our knowledgebase.

The most common issues we see are either plugin or theme conflicts. You can test if a plugin or theme is conflicting by manually deactivating other plugins until just Event Tickets is running on your site. If the issue persists, revert to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the issue is resolved after deactivating a specific plugin or your theme, you’ll know that is the source of the conflict.

Note that we aren’t going to say “tough luck” if you identify a plugin/theme conflict. While we can’t guarantee 100% integration with any plugin or theme out there, we will do our best (and reach out the plugin/theme author as needed) to figure out a solution that benefits everyone.

I’m still stuck. Where do I go to file a bug or ask a question?

Free plugin users can post in the Event Tickets support forum on WordPress.org. Our team reviews that forum weekly to look for bug reports.

If you’re already an Event Tickets Plus subscriber, you’re entitled to our actively-monitored Premium Support on our website. Generally, except in times of increased support loads, we reply to all premium support tickets within 24 hours during the business week.

What’s the difference between Event Tickets and Events Tickets Plus?

Event Tickets is our free ticketing plugin that has all the basics you need to sell tickets and collect RSVPs on your website. You can use Event Tickets with or without The Events Calendar.

Event Tickets Plus is a premium plugin that runs alongside Event Tickets and enhances it with extra features, including custom registration fields, shortcodes, WooCommerce integration, enhanced Stripe functionality for Stripe for Tickets Commerce, our mobile ticketing app and more.

Reviews

Probably the worst plugin I’ve ever used.

August 6, 2024
I’ve used this plugin for years. It’s popular because it boasts lot of features and customization. Unfortunately, it’s filled with critical bugs and flaws and support is terrible. The first thing they do is ask you to let them login to admin your site. No. The second thing they do is blame it on other plugins. When you prove them wrong they will blame your host. I’ve used this plugin long enough to know it’s neither of those.We even paid hundreds of dollars for the professional version and ticketing plugin with the hopes of getting support.There are major bugs in the ticketing plugin and repeatedly, you’ll lose an hours of work because the plugin corrupts an event during save, which as far as I can tell, is unfixable. The only way to move ahead after years of troubleshooting this, is to start all over again on a new event listing.The ticketing extension is so buggy it’s almost unusable and we’ve spent hours answering customer service tickets because the ticket sales page gets disabled spontaneously during an onsale. This particular bug is when you setup multiple ticket types/tiers to share capacity. If you google this problem you’ll find hundreds of people complaining about it for years in the past.

Great Support Team

The plugin works as expected. It can be a little finicky, but it’s a great plugin for doing what it does, and the support team is always willing to help and to walk you through any issues, and work until they’re resolved.
