404 Error When Navigating Back a Page

Hey Shelby

Thanks for getting back to me – but the problem seems to have resolved itself – I have no idea how. If it returns, I’ll do some digging and try to find what happened and let you know!

Hey Shelby & Team!

So this issue has come back and slipped through the cracks into live so I’m under quite a lot of pressure to get it fixed PDQ!

So I’ve done a bit more digging and I’ve narrowed the problem down to this, when a user refreshes the page or navigates back a page, they are redirected from:
http://www.visitcardiff.com/events/?tribe_paged=2&tribe_event_display=list
To
http://www.visitcardiff.com/events/page/2/?tribe_paged=2&tribe_event_display=list

Notice the addition of the /page/2/ in the url. Now I’ve turned off all of the other plugins and switched theme, and this still happens so I’m assuming it’s part of The Events Calendar. It’s also worth noting, I’m not using the events calendar ‘page’ but instead using the [tribe_events view=”list”] shortcode to display the page (because of the way the theme I’m using is put together, it has to be done this way). The pages are made up from post categories and each section included on the page has to be created seperately.

So, when I include this shortcode on a page, it works fine. When I use the proper calendar, it works fine. It just doesn’t seem to work when I use it as part of this shortcode on this type of page. I am presuming, there is something baked into the events calendar plugin which is forcing the redirect and adding that /page/2/ in the middle of the URL – but I can’t find it. So I guess any help to remove that function would be greatly appreciated as it seems to serve no real purpose as the pagination is determined from the query string, rather than the domain.

Thanks

Hey Shelby

No problem! So yes, the theme I’m using is this one – http://edition.themewich.com/

It’s put together in a set of ‘sections’ which are controlled from one navigation option in the sidebar and each of the pages in the theme is controlled through the post categories section under the posts part of the wordpress admin nav (I can create a login for you to see this for yourself if it would make explaining it slightly easier?)

In one of these sections, I’ve included the shortcode and put a few different sections together on the page to make the one you currently see – so there’s not really a posibility for me to send the page template over as it’s made up from a few different of these sections.

Thanks
Alex

Hey Shelby

Completely understand that you can’t support this specifically, however – would you be able to tell me where I should be looking to remove the function that drops in the /page/2/ as I feel that once I remove that – I’ll be able to solve my problem! Otherwise, I feel like I may need to write some kind of function that looks for ‘/events/page/REGEX/’, takes the whole url, strips out that section and then redirects to the new one… which may not even work…

Hi Victor

Thanks for getting back to me. I’ve just updated all plugins to the latest versions and I’m still getting the error.

I’ve checked the box to say I want to share my support info with you.

I’ve checked my permalinks and we are using a custom structure of %category%/%postname%

I’ve used the plugin on a fresh page and it works fine, it just seems to be my current setup that it doesn’t want to work on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Alex

Hi Victor

Yes I am aware this is a problem with the theme, my question is – how do I change The Events Calendar plugin so that it will not add in the /page/2/ part of the url when I refresh the page.

I have switched to a different theme and also disabled all plugins and I still see the /page/2/ portion of the URL get inserted when I refresh or go back a page. All I want to do is to stop your plugin from adding that bit into the url.

Thanks,
Alex
