FAQ

I’m trying to sell tickets with My Calendar, but can’t see how to add sales information

The My Tickets sales information is entered in the ‘Registration Information’ panel of the My Calendar add event screen. This may be turned off in your installation. There are two places to look to enable it. First, go to My Calendar > Settings and go to the Input Settings section. If the ‘registration’ option isn’t checked, check it and save settings. Second, go to the Add Event screen. If the registration options still aren’t visible, you may need to enable them in your personal Screen Options. Open the Screen Options panel and check the option there – these are settings that apply only to your account.

I’m trying to sell tickets on a recurring event in My Calendar, but all the dates are the same

My Tickets data is associated with post IDs, and My Calendar’s recurring events are all based off the same event post. As a result, My Tickets doesn’t work with recurring events in My Calendar.

If I visit the ‘Tickets’ or ‘Receipts’ pages, I end up on the Purchase page. What’s happening?

The Tickets and Receipts pages are only for displaying purchased tickets or purchase receipts. If no valid ID for one of those resources is included, then they’ll redirect to the shopping cart.

How do I scan QR Codes for events?

You can use any QR Code scanning app for a mobile phone or other mobile device with a camera. In order to get the ticket status confirmation, you’ll need to be connected to a network.

Is the “number of tickets available” field required?

Yes. My Tickets won’t sell an unlimited number of tickets for an event; in order for My Tickets to sell anything, you need to specify how many tickets it’s allowed to sell.

Ever since this new plug-in update i am not able to edit my website. The happiness engineer said it was an issue with this plug-in update. Have tried to contact Joe via the forum but no response. Am going to cancel my Wordpress account if I can’t get this fixed.

Very impressed with this plugin. We use it for ticketing to events and a visitor attraction. It’s easy to set up a new event, set different prices for different categories of visitors, get reports on how many have booked in. We use the Stripe add-on, so money goes straight into the bank account, less Stripe’s fees of course. On the gate, the QR code scanning works perfectly, and the system can be accessed on a phone – if someone has booked their ticket while waiting in the queue, you can get into the system in real time and check what they have booked. We did have some problems in the early stages with some software bugs, but Joe gives exemplary support – he gets back to you quickly, and because he built the system he know the issues and context. It might be nice to have easy ways to customize the appearance of the tickets sent out, and of other messages, but this is a trivial detail – other systems are weighed down with stupid eye-candy that does not improve the functionality, but leaves lots of places for bugs to lurk.

I have been testing various ticketing plugins, My Tickets really stands out. Lightweight, well thought out, simple but with the right features. Great work. Taxes is the only option missing for me. I need two different ones. I will include taxes in the total price and have succeeded in displaying tax details in the receipt template by including some of the functions found in mt-templating.php. A minor improvement would be currency symbol positioning, as I need the dollar symbol to be placed after the amount with a space (French standard). Overriding currency symbol by manual input would also be useful (for CAD, ‘C $’ is confusing for my users, just need ‘$’).

Thanks a lot for the development of this nice plugin, it helps solve my demands for event management once and for all. I have downloaded many other event management plugins, but for the registration, especially the bar code email notification part, every plugin will ask for premium upgrades. Although I fully support that every developer should get paid for their work, but they should state it clearly in their plugin introduction. But for My Tickets, what it can do is exactly what it states in the description. JOE DOLSON, Thanks for your great work.
