Permalinks fail when updates are available

[Simon]

Hi,
It happens on many occasions that i will get a Page Not Found Error on my calendar pages.
I know that if i reset the permalinks that it fixes it, however, it keeps happening.

it usually (but not always) happens when there is a new version that is available for download.
i dont know why it happens but i have to wait for users to complain to me that the site is broken before i even know that it did it again.

Do you have any idea what might be causing the plugin to keep losing its permalinks?

Thank You
-Eli

Hi, Simon / Eli.

I sure haven’t heard of this one before! But I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this.

Since this isn’t currently a known issue so I’d suggest following these recommended troubleshooting steps for your own site:

There might be some new updates available. Could you please make sure all your Modern Tribe plugins (and WordPress core) are at their latest versions?

• Downloads / Version Numbers
• License Keys
• TEC Automatic Updates
• or TEC Manual Updates
• WordPress core updates

Once you verify you’re on the latest versions, please test to see if the issue is still happening for you.

If it is, please follow our Testing for Conflicts Guide (basically switch to Twenty Seventeen theme and deactivate all plugins and custom code other than Modern Tribe plugins) and see if that helps narrow down the cause of this.

Of course, we always recommend restorable database and file backups before modifying anything on your site.

If it doesn’t, please enable WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG (which will create a file on your server at /wp-content/debug.log if there are any WP_DEBUG messages) and share any debug messages you see while trying to replicate this issue and doing other things on your site relevant to this ticket (such as visiting your site’s home page, events page, single-event pages, and anything else you can think to do).

Then, please share your System Information (while in Testing for Conflicts Mode) in a Private Reply. That will give me a lot of extra information to help troubleshoot this.

You might also see if you can spot any console errors at your site. (If needed, you may reference our KB article Using Google Chrome Developer Tools.)

Let us know what you find out.

Thanks.
