Permaliniks

[Remy]

I have a problem where the permalinks often are automatically changed by the plug-in after saving. The base of the permalink gets doubled and attached to the end.

Hello Remy

Can you start by going 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). 

Also, can you flush your permalinks? This is pretty easy. Just go to settings » Permalinks and save changes (without making any).

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

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

I have flushed permalinks. I’m using Enfold and it is not my theme.

1. It is not possible to change a permalink in Events Calendar Pro after one is made. If you delete the field, it will revert back to the first way it was. This is very strange functionality and terrible if a user wants to change it. He has to delete and recreate the entire event.

2. The bug happens when the event is a recurring event and is set to be recurring. Then and only then does
The Events Calendar add the slug after the base-slug and then connect it to the rest of the URL as follows:
/slug/ + /myparty/ with a recurring event becomes /slug/slugmyparty/

Hi Remy

I’d like to try to reproduce this issue. Can you send me a link of a recurring event on your site, and if possible, links to several instances where it is doubled.

Thanks

Hi Courtney,
I have further investigated the problem and it seems that it has to do with events where the slug was changed after being created. I can sometimes remedy this by deleting the event, emptying the trash and purging the cache—quite a lot to do just to change a permalink.

However, I should still be able to change a permalink after creation. This is especially true with events that are imported via the Events Calendar aggregator and automatically assigned a slug. For SEO purposes it is important to choose a slug that will have the most SEO juice.

Hi Remy

I have tested this on my side and am still very much able to change permalinks. I’m wondering if there is another plugin preventing you from changing those? Testing for Conflicts Guide https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

Thanks

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.
