Event pages return 404

Hi Powerful1,

I have the same issue. I went to see your calendar and it seems to be working now. Could you share how did you troubleshoot the issue?

Cheers

Hey Buci

I am still troubleshooting it. I created a second install of my site. https://tara.meditationinhouston.org/introduction-to-buddhist-meditation-a-mini-retreat/) I get a 404 error.

The calendar is here
https://tara.meditationinhouston.org/calendar

What would create this error?

What I do know is that the shortcode pulls the content, but the event pages don’t display.

It is a permalink error. If I set the permalink to the basic structure /?p=123 then the events do display.

Also, if you you need a temporary fix Buci, you can redirect your events to pages that draw the info on shortcode. Not ideal, but a solution until the devs can work this out.

Hopefully there is a plugin update to fix the issue.

Hey @buci

I did two things to my site.

To fix my ordinary posts, I removed the following code from the child theme functions file.

/**
 * Some hackery to have WordPress match postname to any of our public 
 * post types. All of our public post types can have /post-name/ as 
 * the slug, so they better be unique across all posts. Typically core 
 * only accounts for posts and pages where the slug is /post-name/
 */
function vipx_parse_request_tricksy( $query ) {
 
    // Only noop the main query
    if ( ! $query->is_main_query() )
        return;
 
    // Only noop our very specific rewrite rule match
    if ( 2 != count( $query->query )
        || ! isset( $query->query[ 'page' ] ) )
        return;
 
    // 'name' will be set if post permalinks are just post_name, 
    // otherwise the page rule will match
    if ( ! empty( $query->query[ 'name' ] ) )
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'event', 'page','event-recurring' ) || is_singular( 'event' ));
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'vipx_parse_request_tricksy' );

To fix the calendar issue, I had to set a permalink slug for the calendar (I wasn’t using one). That was done in the EM settings, permalink slugs.
Then I had to go to the WordPress Permalinks settings under settings on the left.
I set the permalinks to normal. Click Save
Then I set the permalinks back to post-name and click saved.

Everything works now.

Cheers
