Change recurring event slug

[Francisco]

Hi!
Is possible to change the slug of a recurring event that was published?
We use a duplicator plugin. When a event is copied,then we want to change the slug.
Thanks!

Howdy Francisco,

I would love to help you with this. Would you mind just answering a few questions so I can be sure I understand your needs.

Are you trying to change the slug of a single recurrences in the series, or change all slugs in the series? Also, are you using this duplicator plugin to create a new series of recurring events, or to create a single recurrence?

Cheers!

Hello Brook!

– The idea is to change all slugs in the series.
Also, are you using this duplicator plugin to create a new series of recurring events, or to create a single recurrence?
– Allways recurring events.

Thanks!

Thank you for clarifying Francisco,

– The idea is to change all slugs in the series.

You can change the slug for all events in a series by editing the slug of the first occurrence, with Events Calendar Pro active. Change the slug, hit update, and they should all update.

Also, are you using this duplicator plugin to create a new series of recurring events, or to create a single recurrence? – Allways recurring events.

To be honest that sounds pretty dangerous. Post Duplicator plugins should work pretty well with non recurring single events. But trying to duplicate recurring events is probably going to introduce strange glitches. If I were you I would avoid using them for recurring events.

Some good news is that we are working on building a “template” feature. Basically it will allow you to create a new event using an old event as a template, and you can copy any details from the old one like the venue, organizer, date over to the new event. This will serve much the same goal as duplicator plugins, but hopefully be a bit more elegant. I expect this feature to be in develop for a number of months before it gets released however.

Please let me know if you have any questions of your own. Cheers!
