adding this.
Every time I make a change in customizer does it trash out the previous elementor settings I had for the pages?

Yes I am hearing you. And you are correct the page formatting for a single event is messed up. It is also different than the hpd-fff.com site so that means I got something changed between the two sites. The same plugin is running events on both sites. The formatting options are set down in the event manager settings on a format tab. I will have to go compare about 50+ settings again to get them the same. Especially the different pages being used for a category with a single event.

The rest is depth of categories. The .com has much fewer category levels. I have the test site showing urls down to the all day trips level. Beyond that no event has a working link. This will have to go to the event manager forum for help.

I think that there is some interference from the elementor wrapper but not sure how much vs event manager settings and formatting.

Thanks for your help. I am going to close this for now.

There is two places where the permalink structure is defined. The normal one in the WP setting page which is usually site name/post-name

When events manager is installed the EM permalink stucture is as follows
https://www.successfulflyfishing.com/hpdtest/events/2012-olympics/
mysite/events/postname

in the categories it is
https://www.successfulflyfishing.com/hpdtest/events/categories/sports/
mysite/events/categories/category name/

Events Manager uses a couple of ways to get into the function calls and sql searches of the Database for the categories to return results to the final page render.
1. is by using this structure mysite/?event-categories=categoryname
2. by using mysite/events/categories/category name

Either structure returns a list of Events by category name. The hpd-fff.com site uses the ? structure and all events list parts have the correct uri behind the event name ie. regular html way to show a link
on the test site the custom menu link follows the EM settings format for the event categories and does return an events list with the correct post name just not with the link part of the name/link.

The board meetings events list generated from the second menu link all have the live url for each part of the listing stack. But is is the only one that works the way all the others should. The board meetings are all non elementor pages.

All events lists from the hpd events menu in either site are dynamically generated by events manager and then shown on a target page set in the EM settings.

So either the events manager is working very different on the test site or elementor wrapper code is blocking the dynamic generation of the url portion of the events list. or some of both perhaps.

some of the other pages are also dynamically generated and shown on a target page set in the events manager settings. I have target pages set up the same on both sites.

This is not a simple issue. But the total permalink structure for the site is involved in no urls on the events list generated from the menu. Just how I am not sure yet.

@cavalierlife Possible I will check it out. I have an event that I deleted from the system and will choose no when I reinput it.,

I assume you are looking at code in the page source. Yes?
from code
<p>Trips lasting one day to local fly fishing areas</p>
<h3>Upcoming Events</h3>

• Full Moon Fishing on The Colorado River 8/14/19 – 08/14/2019 – 08/15/2019 – All Day
• Fishing the Arkansas @ Hayden Meadows 8/24/19 – 08/24/2019 – All Day
• Spinney Reservoir Day Trip 9/14/19 – 09/14/2019 – All Day
• Day/Overnight to Pump House 10/19/19 – 10/19/2019 – All Day
• Turning Blue on the Blue – 11/09/2019 – All Day

Each category of all day trips shows a correct url for the event. But not when viewed in the events list by category. It is as if there is a problem with the echo function or the events manager events_list function is not completing all the stack of events.

I wonder if the elementor wrapper is stopping before the events list by category is parsed.

May be beyond my capabilities to track this down.I do not sling code.

5/22 add info
The elementor settings are set to posts, pages, locations, events, disable default colors and disable default fonts

In events manager I have locations and events set to be pages. So it seems to me that a template made in the free version as a page should work for both the location single and the event single.

Is this correct?

No plugin conflict. The login.php has the anchor tag in the redirect uri. I saved the orginal and then deleted the anchor tag off the requested uri redirect link. It will work fine now.

The redirect uri was to a single event and the single event.php which generates the single event form has no anchor tag in the generated page down at the bookings section hence the 404 error.
If on the single event form the h3 Bookings /h3 lable had the #events anchor tag, the redirect with the anchor tag in the uri would have worked. Plain old html. html url has anchor tag in the url and the target has the same anchor tag, the url will resolve fine. No anchor tag on the target, unresolvable 404 will happen. Just exactly what was happening.

Removing the anchor tag was the easiest and best solution. if the person using the single event form can not scroll down to the bookings section, well !!

events settings booking form option enable login yes =
<form class=”em-booking-login-form” action=”https://mysite/wp-login.php&#8221; method=”post”>
<p>Log in if you already have an account with us.</p>
<p>
<label>Username</label>
<input type=”text” name=”log” class=”input”>
</p>
<p>
<label>Password</label>
<input type=”password” name=”pwd” class=”input” value=””>
</p>
<input type=”submit” name=”wp-submit” id=”em_wp-submit” value=”Log In” tabindex=”100″>
<input name=”rememberme” type=”checkbox” id=”em_rememberme” value=”forever”> <label>Remember Me</label>
<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_to” value=”https://mysite/events/fish-the-fraser-river/#em-booking”&gt;

The redirect has #em-booking which is an anchor url tag to sent the browser focus to the booking part of the event. THERE is no anchor tag set on the event form and this produces an unresolvable 404 error.

remove the #em-booking from the redirect and the browser resolves to the total event form and everything works.

Somewhere in the EM coding that redirect is being generated. Where I am not going to go thru code to find it. I am hoping you guys know where the redirect is being generated and can issue an update to fix this.

Is this understandable?

Events settings >> booking tab >> booking form options >> show login >> yes
The login that is shown is incorrect

The redirect value = mysite/events/eventname/#em-booking the redirect should stop at the event name.

I have no idea where this login form is being generated from. It is not from anything I have set up for frontend access and management
<form class=”em-booking-login-form” CSS sheet maybe

Hi Gabriel, thanks for reply. I will look into your plugin. I did get the wpfront end working. Took a while to understand it but it gets the job done my client needs. The Profile Builder does a great job of controlling content access. I really like the granularity of it for each post or page.

Finally I am getting my project from hell under control.

Wishing you a nice day.

Excellent Thanks for the answer

I thought I saw there was a paid addon to do front end posting. Can’t find it now. Is that available if I can’t get happy time between pb and wpuser.

Thank you for the answer. That crawler issue went down the drain a long time ago. Before I took over the webmaster slot.

But this is good info for future projects.

@aprilschmitt27
I tried it and nothing happened. I notice the link in your post is a link. IN my settings for singlelocation is some formatting in the EM style already there.

I see there are EM placeholders in the google mapping url. interesting. That when I click the link I see a map of my location. Which means that Google is reading my IP address. I will do some research on the mapping.

Thanks for the tip.

No the CONTENTS placeholder was the key to what I needed. When I became webmaster for this site, the event manager frontend pages had the CONTENTS on them. Since I did not know why I deleted it. Patrick’s answer was the light bulb moment. I put my op instructions above the contents and everything works great. Even better is the new site I am working on using Elementor the CONTENTS is absolutely necessary or EM overlays everything on the dynamic pages including the Elementor front end stuff. With the CONTENTS in the body of the page, EM behaves nicely and Elementor has the pretty wrapper around the dynamic EM content just fine.

Glad you posted that Patrick and glad I saw it. Saved me hours of brain damage on my new site development.

Looking at the PB documentation, I do not see any front end posting form for members. if it is available, please tell me where. Anyone who knows PB can answer. I am on a tight time deadline and help would be appreciated.
