Multiple events with the same name – permalinks not working.

[Tish]

Basically we have several events that occur on a random basis (not able to setup as a recurring event) that have the same name. After several of these are submitted I am noticing permalink issues where the “read more” link does not work and just reloads the calendar? Thoughts?

Hey @Tish,

Thanks for reaching out!

I’m sorry to hear about these issues. I am having trouble recreating them on my own site, and so am curious if you have any more details can you share about the nature of these events.

For example:

1. Does it seem that only community-submitted events with the same titles have this problem? Or if you manually create events yourself in your wp-admin with the same title, do permalink issues persist with them, too?

2. When was the first time you noticed these problems? Have you had The Events Calendar and its add-ons running for a long time on your site (at least several months, for example), without issues, and then seemingly only after a recent update things started behaving this way?

3. Finally, for now, can you share links to any specific instances of events that have this issue on your site? Now, I know the issue is related to their permalinks not working…but if there are three same-title events, and one of them can be linked to, then share a link to that one event in that series for example.

Thank you!
George
