Maps no longer on single event pages

  • Suddenly, the map is no longer showing on a single event page. Something that does seem different is that the event pages used to have a date in the slug, like “/event/high-cotton-brewing-12-05-16” or something like that. Now it’s just “/event/high-cotton-brewing-4” where the last number is just incremented for each new event at that location (we also use the location name for the event name as we’re a food truck.)

    Any thoughts as to what might have happened? No new plugins. I did go in and delete some of the event rows from the db directly, since they weren’t actually being deleted, but were only being turned off by the “event_status” column. I understand why, but we’re working on something else connected to the db and thought these entries might be the problem. I don’t think that should have affected anything like this, thought.

    Examples:
    Location page: https://rawkngrub.com/locations/oreilly-auto-parts-cordova/
    Event page: https://rawkngrub.com/events/oreilly-auto-parts-cordova-3/

    Single event page formatting: 

    
<p>
<strong>Location: #_LOCATIONLINK</strong><br/>
<strong>Date/Time: #_EVENTDATES, <i>#_EVENTTIMES</i>
</strong>
</p>
<div style="margin:0px 0px 15px 15px;">#_LOCATIONMAP</div>
{has_location}
{/has_location}
<br style="clear:both" />
#_EVENTNOTES

    It looks like the wrong template is being used for that template. Do you have locations page set for each of the relevant settings under Events > Settings > Pages?

    The only change we made recently was to add the “Edit Events” and “Edit Locations” settings at the very bottom under “Other Pages”.

    I just turned those off, and no changes.

    The Events pages and Location pages settings under those sections are the same as they were when they were working. Events is set for “Content/Sidebar” and Locations is set for “Posts”. I switched these settings and it’s still not showing a map for the events page and it’s still showing the map on the Locations page.

    Is there a file I should reinstall?

    So you have something set for “Locations” under Events > Settings > Pages > Permalink Slugs and for “Locations page” under Events > Settings > Pages > Location List/Archives?

    Are both those settings for the same page?

    They were the same (locations) for both of those locations in those settings. However, the locations page is not having the issue. It’s just the event pages.

    The event pages also had the same page (events) but nothing had changed there between when it was working and when it stopped.

    Just to be sure, I changed both permalink settings to be events->”gigs” and locations->”spots”, and still nothing.

    What still jumps out at me is that before this issue, when I created an event, it would have the event date appended to the page link. Now it’s just appending a number in sequence like:
    /events/oreilly-auto-parts-cordova-2/
    /events/oreilly-auto-parts-cordova-3/

    Thank you for your help. I love the plugin!

    Can I reinstall the plugin and keep the current data?

    Can I reinstall the plugin and keep the current data?

    Yes, but I’m not sure that will help here – in fact it may cause added confusion because it’ll probably recreate the standard events, locations, etc. pages.

    The top level /locations/ part of the URL should have a page visible on it. If it doesn’t, it’ll cause problems with other pages lower down the folder chain.

    Are all your other permalinks working correctly (including the standard WordPress ones)?

    Are you re-saving your permalinks under the main WordPress settings menu when you make changes?

    I’ll check, but just so we’re clear here, I’m not having any problems with the locations pages, just with the events pages. I only posted about the locations pages to show that they are working properly while the events pages aren’t, in order to help with trying to figure out where the problem may lie.

    Locations permalink is “spots” (used to be “locations”)
    https://rawkngrub.com/spots
    The “Locations” page that I have set in the Settings->Pages->Location List/Archives is https://rawkngrub.com/locations/

    Events permalink is “gigs” (used to be “events”)
    https://rawkngrub.com/gigs/
    The “Events” page that I have set in the Settings->Pages->Event List/Archives is https://rawkngrub.com/events/

    The WP permalinks page shows Post Name: (https://rawkngrub.com/sample-post/)

    I’d be glad to hand you the keys to take a look at it. It’s baffling me.

    These need to be set the same, so that there is one page & permalink set for locations and another set of one page & permalink for events.

    They don’t need to be called locations and events necessarily, but the page & permalink need to match for all URLs and templates to work correctly.

    I’m sorry. Apparently I’ve screwed this up entirely. I tried making both the same name and didn’t do anything. I changed them all back to events and locations and didn’t do anything. I deleted the plug in, which apparently left the db tables? So I deleted those and tried to start fresh. So now I can delete the list of existing locations and events, but can’t add any. Reinstalling the plugin didn’t recreate the db tables I deleted. How can I remove this plugin entirely and start over?

    I found the “uninstall” under the Admin Tools in Settings, reinstalled and it’s all good.
