Static Events not showing but Recurring Events are

[Alan]

Using Events Calendar Pro, we cannot seem to open any events except those with Recurrences set.

I did some searching on Tribe’s Help pages and found this post: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/fixing-http-404-errors/, but I cannot even seem to find the function.php file. Anyone have any ideas?

I don’t even know if this is considered a 404 error, but it definitely says “Page not found,” even though the event is live and has a permalink?

Hi Alan!

Great job finding the help page on fixing 404 errors, it has a lot of good information that hopefully will lead us to the right solution.  On that point, were you able to flush your rewrite rules?  We find that fixes a whole lot of common difficulties. 🙂

As for functions.php, you will find that in your themes folder.

Since recurring events are working, and they have an extra element in the URL, it certainly seems related to rewrites. If neither of those paths helps you make progress, you might want to try switching your permalink settings to default.

Let us know how you make out!

I think that may be one of my issues. Where are the rewrite rules to flush? I can find Permalinks but where do I go from there to flush them?

It’s deceptively simple, yet non-obvious. 🙂

In short, what you need to do is select an option on the Permalinks page in the Dashboard and click the “Save Changes” button. It sounds like you have found that page, so you should be good to give that a try. I’d recommend selecting the “default” to see fi that fixes it. If it does, then go ahead and try whatever your preferred option is.

There are more detailed instructions at the top of the article you mentioned before: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/fixing-http-404-errors/#flush-permalinks

Let me know how it goes!

It has been a while since the last time that I heard back from you so I hope that means everything is working well! 🙂 I am going to go ahead and close this thread, but if you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to open a new one!
