It’s good when events are full beforehand then I can use the CSV. But if there’s a shortage of people booking then I prefer to leave the bookings open until the event start, even sometimes until the event ends as some people may turn up even without booking.

Thanks for the ideas ??

Thanks for explaining about the qrcodes. I want to note who is present as well as the total attendee count.

I find that event guests can be disorganised and so if I have a queue of people to check in we’d all be waiting for someone to go through their phone to find the correct confirmation email and then someone else wouldn’t have internet connection and it slows things down. So I’d rather just ask their name as I can process people quicker without relying on them to produce anything.

Ok thanks, it sounds like none of the solutions is ideal for checking in guests. Maybe I need to get the CSV from the back end before an event, insert it into Excel or Google Sheets, then send it to the people who help run the events to check off people as they arrive.

Thank you, I’ll try to test further with [eme_attendees_report_link].

Also, best is to go in the backend and click on CSV report per event there

Yes I’ve used this but I had to fiddle with it before the event. I also have a couple of people who help run the events but I don’t want to give them access to EME which is why I was looking for an alternative for when I’m not attending the event.

And if you want the link to the CSV link to appear in the frontend, best is to use #_EVENTCSVBOOKINGSLINK or #_EVENTCSVBOOKINGSURL in your single event template (see the doc on those placeholders).

Yes, front end would be best so I don’t need to give other organisers access to the back end. I’ll try out these placeholders.

I am logged in as the WordPress admin, and I still don’t see anything with eme_attendees_report_link.

Yes I made a page with eme_attendees and that looks good but I can’t tick people off the list.

I’d rather stay away from hooks as I’m not great at coding, but I’ll look into the multibooking feature.

Thanks for your advice.

That’s great, thank you!

Thank you!

That’s a good idea, as I think it is best to keep a log.

Ok thanks Franky. I prefer to not throttle as my events are low volume and people expect to receive email confirmations almost immediately.

Thanks, I’m looking into these.

Does EME try to send out emails immediately or does it throttle them? And if they fail the first time then does it retry automatically?

Ok I’ll look into the filters. I was thinking that I might just have to accept bookings from teams only to simplify the problem. I didn’t think about “Extra charge” being negative, will look into that as an option. Thanks Franky.

This problem is still ongoing and I can’t find what’s causing this. Any help would be appreciated.

Brilliant, it works!

Thank you Franky, enjoy your weekend.

That’s great, thank you for the update.

And yes I’ve left the “show single event” setting as “yes”.

What can I do about the templates stripping out the HTML tags?
