Good afternoon David and welcome back!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We are sorry to hear about the permalink newsroom being taken over on your site. Yikes!
I would love to help you with this topic.
Technically, our plugin only needs exclusivity on the slugs defined under Events -> Settings -> General. In other words, there can be no “real page” that can have that same slug.
I do not know if that is the case on your end ? If it is, simply change the slug and re-save your permalinks.
In fact, can you send me a screenshot of your Events -> Settings -> General screen ?
Could you also please send me a copy of the latest version of your WordPress theme / child theme via a link to a .zip file link (stored Dropbox or Google Drive) so that I can run some tests on my end ? I recommend a private reply for that purpose.
Please ensure you are using the latest files as found on your actual website.
This way I will get access to any updates or customizations you might have made.
Hang in there!
Geoff B.
