    Hi everyone.
    I’m kind of new to WP and the EME plugin.

    I am trying to help out a local car club that put on a charity event every Easter.
    They need a way to allow people to pre register for the event and then if approved, purchase their ticket (limited to 1 per user). In past years they have done all this manually but this year thay have more than doubled the tickets available. And with around 10000 registrations expected it’s not practical.

    Does anyone know how I can limit the total number of tickets any user can buy in total?
    I can obviously limit a single purchase to 1 but I can not seem to stop users making multiple purchases.

    Thanks

    How about just not showing the rsvp form if they already registered? The placeholder #_ADDBOOKINGFORM_IF_NOT_REGISTERED is there for that reason.

    Thanks Franky… not working as I expected…

    So I have set #_ADDBOOKINGFORM_IF_NOT_REGISTERED in EME/Settings/Events/Default single event format/
    I have set RSVP in the event to Auto-approve registration upon payment & Require WP membership for registration

    When a user registers for the event (they are pointed to the event permalink on login) the page refreshes to the same page with the form hidden.. it does not show the pay now screen or move onto paypal..

    With only #_ADDBOOKINGFORM in EME/Settings/Events/Default single event format/ the option to pay is displayed and /or the user can move to paypal..

    I was expecting #_ADDBOOKINGFORM_IF_NOT_REGISTERED to only block the event registration once payment was complete as with Auto-approve registration upon payment selected I assume a user is not registerd until paypal returns a success on payment..

    Have I missed something here or am I wrong?

    Thanks

    Hmmm … I need to check that. But I can tell that a user is registered even before paying (which is logical).

    Could you check if this changeset solves it for you (apply the marked differences, not download the whole files):
