    Hi Marcus.

    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 between this plugin and WPAdverts, but I’m not sure which one is at fault.

    When doing a search with the WPAdverts plugin 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 of the WP Adverts plugin, the following URL is returned:

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

    I’ve already reported this to the developer of the WPAdverts plugin. So if I hear anything from him, I’ll update this request.

    Thanks so much for looking into this!

    hello,

    can I know if the adverts plugins supports custom post type or are they using custom post type?

    The developer of the WPAdverts plugin has offered a solution that fixed everything.

    Here’s what he had to say…

    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.
