Page Not Found

Hi sponge.nika,

What do you have set as the “Events URL slug” in Events > Settings and is this the same as what you’re linking to for your event page where is says “The page not found”?

Events URL slug is now events. I also tried to change the option to “Default” in Permalink Settings but I get the same error. But consider that it happens only if there is no any event in current month.

If I set “The Events Calendar Settings” -> “Display” -> “Default view” to List, it works. But when I change it to “month” it says “Events for July 2013 | Page not found | My Site”.

I get this same page not found error when using the month view with no events on 3.0.

See here:
https://www.worldlywomen.ca/events/

The page title is perfect – “Upcoming Events | Worldly Women | Journeys Travel | Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada”

However when I switch to Month view (for July with no events) it says: “404 Events for July 2013 | Page not found | Worldly Women | Journeys Travel | Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada”

But then if I use the bottom “next” link to get to August where there is an event then it shows a better title, but still not a proper title as it is missing the “Worldly Women | Journeys Travel | Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada” piece tagged onto the end of “Events for August 2013”

Got the same issue. Any info about this?

Can also confirm this issue.
@jonahcoyote it’s not the it goes to a 404 page, just that the page title is set to “Page Not Found”.

I fixed it with this.

/**
 * Sets is_404 to false on pages without any events like when the Upcoming Events page is empty.
 * @return void
 */
function avoid_404_event_titles( $template ) {
  global $wp_query;

  if ( property_exists( $wp_query, 'tribe_is_event' ) && $wp_query->tribe_is_event && $wp_query->is_404 )
    $wp_query->is_404 = false;

  return $template;

}
// Fix 404 on events page
add_action( 'template_include', 'avoid_404_event_titles', 1 );

Thanks Derek ??

I found that code yesterday digging through a bunch of different forms, I had to modify it slightly then everything went back to normal. Deactivating the SEO plugin that caused all the issues wasn’t an option for my client, so I’m happy to have found that gem and share it. Cheers!

Hi,

I have little bit different problem with “page not found”. when I add some events i can see those in the calendar, but when i press on those to get more info I get message what the page does not exist. On a edit events menu its looks ok but when I try to make preview i get the same page not found message. I know it has worked before so now it start to be the pain in my ass to find what the hack its going on.

Where does that code go for the fix Derek? Thanks!

Hi guys, glad you find a solution (and thanks for sharing Derek ?? ) … just a note though it’s generally best to create new threads rather than resurrecting ones which are 6 months old ??

@jonahcoyote it’s not the it goes to a 404 page, just that the page title is set to “Page Not Found”.

So just to provide a little background, our feeling is that setting a 404 status is the correct course of action here if you access a list view that is empty (and this parallels the behaviour of WordPress itself). We can see why you might not want a prominent 404 message in the title though, but this is typically something that themes or SEO plugins put in place.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing your thoughts and if anyone needs further input from myself or another team member please do create a new thread.

Cheers!

I can not seem to get this fixed. Still going to page not found when you want to view the actual event. https://chelseaseniorliving.com/intranet/events/

OK, but, as suggested above (and in line with forum guidelines) it’s generally best to create new threads rather than resurrecting ones which are 6 months old!

Same here: “page not found”. Could this be because I have the site installed in localhost, under a folder name???
Or somehow linked to the general permalink structure?
If I can’t actually view a single event, this is quite a deal-breaker for me… pity, looked like a nice plugin.

Hi catasoft,

I’m sorry you’re having trouble with 404s. This can happen after another plugin (or sometimes even a theme) adds its own custom rewrite rules, effectively confusing WordPress and stopping it from finding resources like events pages.

The quickest possible path to a solution is simply to flush your rewrite rules: this is as easy as visiting the Permalinks Settings admin screen: you need change nothing, just visiting this screen makes WordPress clear up its list of rules.

If that doesn’t work by itself then the best course of action is to follow our standard troubleshooting steps: start by ensuring your events plugins are up-to-date. Next, deactivate all other plugins and, switch to a default and unmodified theme – such as Twenty Thirteen. Finally, repeat the above step for flushing the rewrite rules – then check again and see if your events pages are accessible.

If you need further help, please start your own thread- this one is quite old, and we’ll be able to focus better on your situation if you can start your own thread.

Thank you,
Leah
