Duplicate Event in EM-Submission Form does not work

  • I use the latest version of EM (Version 5.7.2) and EM Pro (Version 2.4.4.2 ).
    I deactivated all Plugins besides the two EM versions.

    I have one Testevent that I can duplicate in the WP-Menue as expected. When I use the EM-submission form by clicking in my menue on “My events” and use the small “+” to duplicate my Testevent, I can change everything as I want in the event submission form. BUT the new (duplicated) event has the SAME event_slug as the original event! Therefore the new event will not be displayed correctly. It is shown in the events_lists but if you click on the new event to show the details, you come to the old event because of the wrong URL. If I edit the event in the WP-Menue to edit the event, I can see that the permalink of the duplicated event is correct there! If I “edit” the permalink there and just say ok and save the event, the event_slug is also correct.
    For me this looks like the event_slug is no longer updated, when the event is duplicated via the EM-functionality! This used to work before. I do not know since when exactly this does not work any more – may be since the last update?!

    Is this a known bug? I urgently need this functionality back, since my users use the duplication functionality every day and now all the events are messed up and it is very confusing for my normal users and I have to correct every event manually!

    You can see one live example on my live website: https://pferdetermine.de/veranstaltungen/reiturlaub-romo/
    click on the second event in the google maps display: 10.08.19-17.8.19 Reiturlaub R?m?
    That event is dulicated from an older event. The permalink in the WP-page for the event is https://pferdetermine.de/veranstaltungen/reiturlaub-romo-3/ – but that one does not exist! The event has the event_slug https://pferdetermine.de/veranstaltungen/reiturlaub-romo/ – as the original-event and therefore shows the old, original event instead of the new one from 2016!

    How are you doing the duplication?

    In the form that is defined in the settings of EM: the event submission form. There one sees the list of “my events” and I click the small “+” next to the event name. That duplication does not work. Btw I see a undefined variable in the debug.log of my test-site – I am not sure if this is related – but may be, because it says:
    PHP Notice: Undefined variable: set_post_name in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress_pferd/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/classes/em-event.php on line 1154

    And as I described above, the duplication in the WP-menue works correctly, only the duplication in the EM-event-submission form does not work. But my users only use the EM-form – therefore this is a big issue for me!

    It’s possible this is a conflict caused by your theme or another plugin. To check if it is, can you test with all other plugins deactivated and while running the default WordPress theme?

    This used to work until this new release of EM. And as I wrote above I already tested with all plugins deactivated and it still occurs. I also tested it with twenty fourteen and it is the same error: The new URL is the old URL and therefore the details page of the new event shows the old event – as described in detail above and as you can see in the example-link I posted above.

    And when I duplicate the event I get the following notice in the debug.log : “PHP Notice: Undefined variable: style in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress_pferd/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/em-shortcode.php on line 53” – maybe this is related?

    The standard template for that page doesn’t include an option to duplicate events. Is that something you’ve added yourself?

    Thread Starter pferdetermine

    (@pferdetermine)

    The “meine Veranstaltungen” page is an EM-standard page and it does include the “+” for duplication! I added or changed nothing. I am talking about the “my events” Overview page that has the”+” next to the event name.

    Sorry, we were talking about different pages.That said, I haven’t been able to replicate this problem.

    Are you using any custom code relating to Events Manager?

    Have you tested with the default WordPress theme?

    Thread Starter pferdetermine

    (@pferdetermine)

    Yes, I tested without any other plugins and with the default theme. And with that default theme I had no custom coding enabled – no mu-plugins and no child theme and therefore no individual functions.php – only Events Manager standard. Could this be related to the two different versions from EM basic and EM Pro? And what about the error in the debug.log relating to the em-shortcode.php?

    I tested it on a complete new em installation an the error can be reproduced if you use EM (Version 5.7.2) and EM Pro (Version 2.4.4.2 ). Obviously you cannot use the EM Versions without paying yearly for the updates of the PRO Version! I did not continue to pay for the pro version, because it was said that you only would have to pay once for the functionality. But this does not seem to be correct! At least the two versions do not work together!
    Can your developers solve this?

    The Pro license entitles you to continue using the Pro add-on but renewal is required for continued Pro support and for access to new versions of the plugin.

    That wasn’t my question. My question was, if the error that I get is related to the different versions! I expected that the versions should work together without any errors! Can you please check if the error is related to the older Pro version.

    yes, I think it should work as well; can you try the latest EM 5.7.3 ?

    Hi Angelo, I just update my development-site to 5.7.3 and I still have the same effect. I can duplicate the event in the EM event submission form but the event-slug is that of the original event! In the events-list you can see the new duplicated event but if you click on it the old, original event is shown and not the new event (because the event-slug is the old one).
    So the error is the same – also in this newer version of EM.
    Any ideas how to solve this???

    Thread Starter pferdetermine

    (@pferdetermine)

    Just an additional test I made: I deactivated EM Pro and it works normal! But unfortunately that is not a solution, because I need the booking part…. but just as help to find the error. It must be a conflict between those versions of EM and EM Pro! Please help!

    Thanks for your support in advance, Angelo!
