Permalink slug error reccuring events – is this resolved?

[John]

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/recurring-events-permalink-slug-error/

Is this problem fixed? Or is there a workaround? This still doesn’t seem to be working in the latest version? It’s a pretty serious bug since a promised feature isn’t working whatsoever.

Any light on this? Thanks

Hi John!

Thanks for reaching out to us.

I have just made a few tests and it still seems to be an issue. I have raised a flag in the bug report and raised the priority for it, so it has a better chance of getting into one of our next maintenance release cycles.

I will set this thread’s status to “Pending fix” and link it to the report. This way we can notify you once a fix is released.

We appreciate your patience while we work on this.

Best,
Victor

Hi John!

Just wanted to share with you that a new release of our plugins is out, where we added a message to warn users about the URL changes when breaking an event out of its series:

“When you break events from a series their URLs will change, so any users trying to use the original URLs will receive a 404 Not Found error. If this is a concern, consider using a suitable plugin to setup and manage redirects.”

You can find out more about this release → https://theeventscalendar.com/maintenance-release-for-the-week-of-9-september-2018/

We are currently working on improving the recurring events functionality altogether, so the URL change is likely to be solved in the near future. Until then, we suggest setting up a plugin to handle the redirects.

We apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Let us know if you have any follow up question.

Best,
Victor
