   [[Event Tickets and Registration] BEWARE – Incompatible with Easy Digital Downloads v3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beware-incompatible-with-easy-digital-downloads-v3/)

 * This has to be a wind up. So far I’ve had explanations of:
 * – Are you sure you’re using a up to date theme
    – Downgrade to EDD 2 – It’s just
   the modal and we can’t reproduce it
 * I’m just using Event Tickets v5.5.5, Event Tickets Plus v5.6.4 and EDD v3.x.x.
   All worked fine up until EDD v3 and as explained, having read the EDD migration
   docs from v2 to v3 there are breaking changes which you have not updated your
   plugin for.
 * ET+ no longer saves any of the attendees correctly, nor does your plugin save
   the meta stating the product “is_ticket”. The reason for this is that you are
   using deprecated methods as outlined fully here:
 * [https://easydigitaldownloads.com/development/2021/02/16/edd-3-0-beta1/](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/development/2021/02/16/edd-3-0-beta1/)
 * That post was over 18 months ago.
 * As an example, “is_ticket” meta is being saved:
 * **WRONG:**
    ./event-tickets-plus/src/Tribe/Commerce/EDD/Main.php:343: update_post_meta(
   $new_order, $this->order_has_tickets, true );
 * **ADVICE FROM EDD**
    // NO LONGER VALID update_post_meta( $payment_id, ‘your_meta_key_here’,‘
   your meta value’ );
 * And use one of the following:
 *     ```
       // Valid in both 2.9 and 3.0
       edd_update_payment_meta( $payment_id, 'your_meta_key_here', 'your meta value' );
   
       // Valid in 3.0 only
       edd_update_order_meta( $payment_id, 'your_meta_key_here', 'your meta value' );
       ```
   
 * Your code is littered with examples of saving and retrieving order meta data 
   by using get_post_meta and update_post_meta, neither of which work with EDD v3.
 * The experience is like banging my head against a brick wall. The problem is not
   that you don’t save attendees in a modal, it’s that even if that worked, you 
   can no longer update meta data like you are.

 * There is already a ticket open #402111, I just need this fixed, it really is 
   a massive oversight to not have seen this coming.

 * It’s actually quite frustrating that you think a theme version would affect the
   fact your plugin is not compatible with with the current major version of EDD.
 * I can see from your own plugin code that you are using depreciated methods with
   EDD announced over a year ago and simply need to provide a fix as soon as possible
   as this is causing harm to the business.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Abz,
 * Thank you for the response. I just wanted to reply to highlight that I think 
   you are misunderstanding the issue. I know that I can go back and edit the attendees
   pre purchase.
 * If you then click purchase, the attendees do not get saved and instead all the
   attendee information is replaced with the purchasers.
 * update_post_meta, get_post_meta no longer works with EDD v3 and that’s how you’re
   saving the information.
 * To be honest, given it’s been 18 months, I am more than a little surprised this
   has neither been picked up or fixed. Currently my site cannot accept orders.
 * Thanks,
    John

 * Easy Digital Downloads 3.1.0.3
    Event Tickets 5.5.4 Event Tickets Plus 5.6.3
 * I’ve read through the code and can confirm you’re definitely methods which are
   compatible with EDD v3 and above. I’m happy to test any updates on our staging
   site.
