404 pages of events that are not reoccuring

I’m having this issue as well but I found a temporary (but annoying) fix. All you need to do is re-save your permalink settings and it should work. The catch is that you have to do it on a regular basis. I can’t tell exactly how often but I’ve been doing it every few days at the least.

Hi Zoe,

I head up the support team at Modern Tribe, and Brian brought this thread to my attention. I wanted to both apologize for taking this long to get involved and, more importantly, for your poor experience so far. This is certainly one of the longer threads we’ve had recently and I appreciate your patience as we try to work through this with you.

Best I can tell, everyone else in this thread (except perhaps Andrew who we haven’t heard back from) has solved their problem due to a conflict or a permalinks refresh. While I’m hesitant to call this a bug yet for that reason – there may be something conflicting within your system or its possible the snippet provided was applied incorrectly – I want to get this sorted for you, especially if there is indeed a problem with our plugin.

It would be great if we could get a copy of your database for testing. Would it be possible to provide one? Unfortunately we cannot do direct FTP into your site, but we could look into this further with a copy of the database.

In the interim: I see you have a test site and that you upgraded to the 3.9 version there. Can you confirm whether this was a fresh installation of the 3.9 release, or an upgrade from 3.0 to 3.9? If the latter…would you be willing to do a fresh install on a site not running the 3.0 build? We’re wondering if this might be an issue related to upgrading from 3.0 —> 3.9 (a fairly massive jump that we haven’t seen a lot of users make). Having a test on a site that wasn’t upgraded would confirm whether or not we’re on the right track here.

Let me know your thoughts on the above. We appreciate your patience on this so far. If there is a bug here, we will definitely do what we can to get it patched in as timely a fashion as possible.

Ok thanks for the database.

I was able to load the site and see the issue.

I also fixed the issue on my test site.

In your theme in this file you are running flush_rewrite_rules() on every load of a page:

wp-content\themes\Eastgate\functions.php

So on line 228 please remove:

flush_rewrite_rules();

Then resave permalinks and try to visit a single event.

I was able to visit them after making this change.

flush_rewrite_rules() should never be run on every load of a page as it can cause this exact issue.

Here is more information on using the flush function in WordPress.

Let me know if removing that solves the issue for you.

Thanks

Great news Zoe. I have been following this thread in the vain hope I would find your solution would work for me too, but alas, I searched every theme I have looking for “flush_rewrite_rules();”, but with no success. So I must continue with a competitors product.

Hi there,

Thanks again for your post. We wanted to get in touch and let you know that although we weren’t able to address this issue in our upcoming 3.10 release, it is still very much a priority. We have a ticket in our system and will be investigating a solution for a future version. Thank you for your patience and support while we work on this!

Cheers,
The Events Calendar Team
