Ok, I can look at that.

The problem still occurs on the Events listing page if you are trying to test it.

Hi Jonah-

Did you specifically try the Brown Bag link from the home page? The links overall work great, the only links that don’t work are the ones that are edited once they are posted.

Can you please confirm?

The link to test currently is the Brown Bag link from the home page..

I appreciate it.

I am using %postname% – sorry that was a typo….

What I was trying to identify – is that when the site is NOT using permalinks – the links work just fine. When I use – /%category%/%postname%/ the link breaks – if a change is made to the post.

When I make a change to the post – it changes the slug or link in a way that makes it unreachable.

If you go to aafcleveland.com now, and click on Brown Bag Series – Design Thinking – you will see exactly what I mean.

If I were to turn off a custom permalink structure – it reaches the page just fine.

A bad link, to a page or event that doesn’t exist – will take you to a page like this:

https://www.aafcleveland.com/event/jonahcanfixit

A solution has to be there somewhere – changing content in a post shouldn’t change the slug – I believe that is the focus – my guess it would be changing something in the database at the same time that breaks the link.

I appreciate your help.

More ….

If I change any details of an event, when I click that event from the homepage:

https://www.aafcleveland.com – it redirects me to the homepage…

If I go back to the event I changed – and modify the slug, it functions again.

https://www.aafcleveland.com/event/may-professional-development-luncheon-push2/

I added a 2 to the end of the slug – and that page works now. Otherwise – it wouldn’t.

So how would permalinks be affected if you changed the file in anyway? Again – this is a simple change – like adding a period to a sentence…

If I change the permalink settings back to default (https://aafcleveland.com/?p=123) The events work fine, but once I customize ie /%post%/ or /%category%/%post%/ – it doesnt work… and I have edited the htaccess file as well for permalinks:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi Jonah,

I did try this, and tried it again – no change. I originally hoped that there was a plugin conflict – but it doesn’t seem to be the case at all.

Plugin version is: Version 2.0.11

i appreciate any further help you can provide – thank you…

Checking in – can someone please take a look at this?

Thank you…

Thanks for the quick response Jonah…

The site is https://www.aafcleveland.com/

If you click the event ‘Brown Bag Series – Design Thinking’ you will see that it goes nowhere .. simply because I changed ‘Register Here’ – to ‘Please Register Here’ page text.

Any changes breaks the event links:

https://www.aafcleveland.com/events/

As you can see – on this page as well (link above) – the Brown Bag event gives a 404 and takes you back to the homepage.

Please help, I appreciate ti!
