URL parameters not working with events calendar shortcode

[Brendan]

Hi Christopher,

Those are the only rules needed. When we checked before, it seemed like there was another rule somewhere else that may be causing the conflict. Have you used any other plugins to do rewrites?

Thanks,
Brendan

Hi Brendan,

No, I don’t have any other plugins that do re-writes as far as I know. On this staging install, I have only these 4 plugins active:

Advanced Custom Fields (5.6.7)
Rewrite Rules Inspector (1.2.1)
Events Calendar (4.6.9)
Events Calendar Pro (4.4.21)

Again, to re-state the problem, if you visit a link in this format: https://ncrla.staging.wpengine.com/servsafe-certification-courses/?tribe_events_cat=servsafe&tribe-bar-date=2018-02

It will show as no events found. But if you start on this page, where the shortcode lives, you’ll see lots of events for Feb 2018: https://ncrla.staging.wpengine.com/servsafe-certification-courses/

Thanks for your help troubleshooting this one.

Hi there,

I just realized when you restated the question the issue here. the format will not work because you are using a shortcode. You need to go to the actual events page like so: https://ncrla.staging.wpengine.com/events/?tribe_events_cat=servsafe&tribe-bar-date=2018-02

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Brendan

OK, is there a way to make it work with the shortcode? I need to use the shortcode in order to embed a specific category within a specific page.

Hi there,

This is where a redirect may come in handy. You can essentially setup the one that doesn’t work to redirect to your actual event calendar. Other than that, we do not have an option to set permalinks on the shortcode itself.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Brendan

Hi Brendan, I appreciate the help but I’m also disappointed, both that this functionality is broken when using the shortcode calendar and also that it has taken a month to explain this (I went back and checked that I explained clearly that this is a shortcode-generated calendar in my original posting). Are there any plans that you know of to fix this? Thank you.

Hi there,

Sorry it took so long to get this ironed out.

If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

You can suggest it it http://tribe.uservoice.com.

Thanks,
Brendan

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. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
