Calendar Page Triggering 404

[chirocare]

Hello. We recently revamped our site a bit, moving from one WP install to a second, newer one. I’m not sure if this issue existed on the old install or not… but what I’m seeing is this: We have our calendar set to be at /events. However, the page title in the tab ends up being “Page Not Found.” And, when I use a broken link checker, it is saying that the events pages trigger 404s, too. Any idea why this would be?
Thanks.

Hello chirocare,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I apologize for the issues you’re facing when using our plugin. As an initial step, since this is a migrated site, have you tried flushing the rewrite rules for your site be re-saving your site’s permalinks? You can do this by navigating to Settings -> Permalinks section of your site and clicking “Save” on the permalinks settings.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Just tried that, didn’t help. Any other ideas?

Hello chirocare,

Thanks for following up with us!

I just checked on your old site and I think I see what is going on. It looks like the page is loading properly and not going to a 404, however the default title is displaying as “Page Not Found”.

This is most likely due to the theme having custom title options for different WordPress views. For some reason, the 404 page title is being applied to this view in error. If you could find, most likely in your header.php or functions.php file where this is being applied you can add an additional layer to check for the events view by using:

if( tribe_is_event_query() && !is_single() ) {}

You can then add the appropriate title within that conditional in a similar fashion as the other titles within that section.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

You know, I had done some searching in your forums prior to starting this ticket and noticed people talking about the WordPress SEO plugin. When I deactivate it, the page title is now correct. The breadcrumbs aren’t, but I can modify that using the conditional you provided. So it seems like maybe something is going on with that plugin…
The other weird thing is that when I run a broken link checker program, it actually does say that the /events/ page triggers a 404. I’m running it again now to see if it does this with WordPress SEO deactivated. Aaaaaannnnnd verdict: Yep, still is triggering 404s.

Hmm. Any other ideas?

BTW, I did adjust a few custom things that weren’t working on the page — the left navigation and the breadcrumbs — that needed your conditional language. I had a different tribe conditional that wasn’t working. So that did help here, at least.

Hello chirocare,

Thanks for following up with us!

I’m glad you were able to narrow down the root cause as the WordPress SEO plugin. Is there a title option within that plugin that you’re able to define the title for the 404 page? I wonder if the conditionals which allow for that setting to show are wide enough to where the default events page is just happening to fall into that range.

To be honest, I’m not sure why a broken link checker would be showing an active page as a broken link. Are you using a plugin on your site to test for these broken links? If so, you could try deactivating and reactivating the plugin to see if it clears the events view from it’s listing.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
