Does Events page *need* to be a top-level page?

[Kevin]

Since the main Events page is dynamically generated by the plugin (with only the slug user-specified in the settings), it doesn’t appear that it’s possible to make the Events page anything other than a top-level page… or am I missing something?

For example, what if I want the Events page to be here:

http://www.mysite.com/programs-and-events/events

?

Is there any way to accomplish that?

Hey Kevin,

Welcome to the forums and thanks for reaching out!

Good question. The calendar does need to be a top-level page as far as the slug goes (e.g. /events).

One thing I’ve had success with in the past is using the Redirection plugin to create the URL I want and redirect it to the calendar’s URL. I know it’s not exactly the same thing, but would at least allow you to maintain the URL naming convention you’re looking for.

Would that work for you? Please let me know.

Thanks!
Geoff

Thanks for the prompt response. Yes, we had already figured out this workaround (we could also place the page in the nav hierarchy however we want, which might be sufficient), but it seems like a needless limitation in the plugin. I’d like to be able to place the primary calendar on any page in the site, wherever it resides in the hierarchy.

Thanks Kevin!

The approach we’re taking is going to be an overhaul of our calendar shortcodes. We’re working on that now and, when done, you would be able to embed your main calendar view anywhere you would like.

I see you marked this thread as Resolved, so I’ll go ahead and close it. Thanks again for reaching out and definitely let us know if any other questions come up–we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff
