    Hi Greg.

    First of all, I want to say thanks so much for making this plugin. It not only works almost flawlessly, it looks beautiful as well.

    That being said, I have run into a conflict with the Events Manager plugin, but I’m not sure which one is at fault.

    When doing a search with WPAdverts that is based on location, I get a 404 error. If I turn off the Events Manager plugin, then everything works as expected.

    So for example, if I enter the city of “Temecula” in the location search box for WPAdverts, the following URL is returned:

    https://mytld.com/events/locations/temecula-farmers-market/?query&location=Temecula

    I’m going to report this to the developer of the Events Manager plugin as well. So if I hear anything from him, I’ll update this request.

    Thanks so much for looking into this!

    Hi, i will check the conflict later today and post result here.

    In the meantime, could you test if it makes any difference if the link is
    https://mytld.com/events/locations/temecula-farmers-market/?location=Temecula
    (just remove the “query&” from URL)?

    Ok it seems i was able to track down this issue. There is a conflict between WPAdverts and Events Manager, when you search by location, the “location” keyword is used in the $_GET param, since Events Manager registers custom post type named ‘location’, this forces WP to look for location custom post type with slug ‘Temecula’.

    TL;DR. The easiest way to fix this is to add in your wp-config.php following line

    define('EM_POST_TYPE_LOCATION','event_location');

    then go to wp-admin / Settings / Permalinks panel, click “Save Changes” button without actually changing anything, this will reset WP router and should fix URLs.

    Hi Greg.

    Wow, that did the trick!

    Thanks so much for looking into this for me so quickly and getting back to me with such a simple solution. I really appreciate it.

    By the way, I’m really looking forward to the “Maps and Locations” add on that you’re planning to release.

    Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
