I have no idea how to get started. Can you help?
You need to create a new page and insert only the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode. This page should be excluded from your navigation. This means you should not add it to your navigation menu under Appearance > Menus. If you’re using a pre-WordPress 3.0 theme you can use the exclude pages plugin.
You should also create and exclude from navigation:
- insert [ESPRESSO_PAYMENTS] shortcode on a new page to create a URL back to the payment/thank you page
- insert the [ESPRESSO_TXN] to create the page for processing your payment transactions
