Hi Matt,
Welcome to the forums! Sorry for the trouble here, but let’s dig into it together and see what’s up.
First off, do you have another page created on your site that uses the /events slug? If so, will you please change the slug for that page or delete it entirely?
Or, if you prefer, you can change the plugin’s slug on the Events > Settings screen to something else, like calendar to distinguish it from another page that possibly uses the same slug.
Let’s start there and see if that does the trick. If it does not, will you please head to Events > Help, copy the system information on the screen and paste it here for me as a private reply? That will help me check your settings for any other red flags we should consider.
Thanks so much!
Geoff
