What happens when the ET+ App is unable to recognize the REST API?
In the vast majority of cases, this is due to shared hosting environmental limitations and/or server settings. The likely cause of the error at this point would be that the host is not exposing the ticket check-in endpoint on their WP install properly.
The failure is when the response from the server is not JSON.
One user noted a fix was due to the following:
"It was resolved by increasing SUHOSIN settings on the account on the server."
Users can contact their hosting provider, informing them of the issue they are running into.
🔔Note: this is not a bug or breakage in the performance of the ET+ QR Code App.
We are currently working on building in a debug option to check the server response. We’ll also be adjusting the error messaging within the App and within Event > Settings. The release date is TBD.
