Organizer URLs adding -2 to the slug

[Matt Gray]

Hi,

When adding a new organiser, it’s adding -2 to the end of the slug annoyingly – any idea why this it?

Hey Matt,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I can help you here …

Checking in my local install I cannot reproduce this glitch 🙁 Are you seeing this consistently with all organizers you create?

I guess you are aware of this but WordPress automatically adds the ‘-2’ part of the slug to posts that repeat an existing slug. Maybe you created an organizer with this slug before? Can you check if you are able to edit the slug and remove this part?

Please let me know about this,
Best,
Nico

Hey,

I’m adding the organiser within the event itself, and it’s automatically creating the organiser…

I’ve not got any organisers with the same slug, as they haven’t been created…

Nor am I able to remove the -2 from the slug by editing it…

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks for clarifying Matt! I could reproduce this when creating a venue / organizer from the new event screen. I went ahead and created the bug report in our backlog.

For now I’d say create venues and organizers from their respective ‘add new’ screens. And just assign them when you create a new event.

I’ve linked the bug report with this thread so you’ll get a heads-up when the fix for this is released.

Thanks once again for the heads-up and sorry for the hassle until this gets fixed,
Best,
Nico

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
