Events list and single events URL slugs

[Henry]

Does anyone know the implications of having the same slug for the “events list URL” and the “single events URL”?

At the moment I have “event” for single events and “events” for the event list. I’d like them both to be “events” but need to know if this will cause any conflicts.

Hi Henry,

I don’t think that will but you can certainly try it out and if it doesn’t work, just switch them back. You won’t break anything. Make sure to clear your permalinks 🙂

Hi Jonah

Nice one. I tried it and it worked fine.

To go one step further, is there a way (either hacking the core or via a setting) of removing the /event/ from single events? it would be great to have URLs like:

example.com/the-event-title

Hi Henry,

Not that I know of. We’ve had users request changing the underlying permalink structure more than what we offer in the options and unfortunately it’s not easily achieved. You might be able to hack it but its not something we can help with.

Good luck!
