Events URL slug not working correctly.

[Daryl Burch]

For some reason the system seems to strip the leading slash on the Events URL Slug. See attached. Adding the slash to the field throws an error.

Singe Event URL Slug is fine.

How to correct?

Thank you!

Hi Daryl

That is odd. Can you flush your permalink by just saving the settings again at Settings » Permalinks? then clear your browser cache and see if the issue persists.

If that doesn’t work, please go through our Testing for Conflicts Guide https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/?  I am wondering if you might have a plugin or theme conflict.  Begin by deactivating all other plugins, using a theme such as Twenty Seventeen https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyseventeen/, and see if the issue still persists. Also, double check for any other updates available (Dashboard » Updates). 

Please let me know if the issue still persists after these tests.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Turns out the issue is caused by the plugin “Root Relative URLs” which seems to be installed natively with WordPress. Deactivated it. Slash is in place as intended.

Funny that it only affects the Events URL slug but not the Single Event URL slug.

Thanks Daryl, I’m glad you found the cause.
