Custom URLs

[Jonathan]

Hello,

I am very interested in using Event Calendar Pro in the rebuild of our national website.

I just have a quick question about creating custom URLs before we proceed:

We will have multiple venues holding events which share the same name.
I would therefore like the url to contain the venue name to help differentiate, but specifically in this way:

rigpa.org.uk/[venue]/event/[event-title]/[event-date]

ie. exactly like this example url, but with the venue name inserted before the ‘event’ slug

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello Jonathan–thanks for getting in touch! We’re stoked you’re checking out the plugin and I hope it’s a fit for your project. 🙂

The plugin does offer custom URLs, however not quite on that level of specificity. In other words, you can customize the slug of the calendar as a whole (e.g. [your-site]/[events-slug]) and then all events would fall into that structure.

You can customize the single event slug [e.g. [your-site]/[single-slug]/[post-slug]), however that [single-slug] isn’t capable of capturing the associated venue of an event right out of the box.

You might be able to write a function that captures the associated venue and then creates a rewrite rule based on that condition. We do have an extensive documentation available to help get started in that direction.

Another route might be to use a redirection plugin. At the same time, having to create a redirect for each event could be tedious as well.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
