Events URL slug not working

[Robert]

The value I enter into the “Events URL slug” doesn’t seem to work. In fact it seems to be using the slug I entered previously. Here is an example my slug is set to “events”, the link in admin shows myurl.com/events however this page 404s:
http://pointers-school.co.uk/events/

It actually works under the following URL:
http://pointers-school.co.uk/calendar/

But the Event list only works like this (note the destination of the links on this page):
http://pointers-school.co.uk/calendar/upcoming/

How can I fix this?

Hey Robert,

Thanks for getting in touch. I’m heading out for the day, but I just wanted to let you know your thread is not getting ignored. My co-worker Rob will be in touch with you tomorrow, or Monday at the absolute latest. Thanks for your patience and support!

Cheers,
Leah

Hey Robert. Thanks for the note here. On this end, my guess is this could just be a matter of needing to flush your permalinks. Can you try just going into the Settings -> Permalinks page for the overall WP site; resaving that page (without necessarily making any changes); and testing the problem again to see if it persists?

9 times out of 10 on issues such as this, the permalink flush is all it takes to get things squared away. Let me know if that’s not the case, though.

Hi Guys, Refreshing the permalinks page did the trick. However I do have to do this anytime I make a change to the slug.

Thanks for confirming as much, Robert. Glad to hear that solved it in the short-term. The broader issue of the requirement to do it anytime you change the slug should be addressed in the next maintenance build….we’ve already finished and QA’d that bit of code, it is just now awaiting release. Should be very soon. Thanks for your patience so far.

Please let us know what else we can do down the road.
