URL questions

[kaniamea]

Great plugin!
I have a couple of URL questions. Is it possible to either remove /category/ from the URL or rename it?
Second, I created a separate WP installation in http://www.site.com/events but since the events URL slug wouldn’t take empty string, I put the word “calendar” for URL slug. So my main URL is http://www.site.com/events/calendar instead of http://www.site.com/events. Is it possible to overwrite the events URL slug so it takes an empty string?
Finally, I noticed the calendar does not work with Safari (using 2012 child theme), even on your demo, see for example http://wpshindig.com/event/wordpress-santa-cruz-meetup/2014-03-19/. How could that be fixed?

Many thanks! 🙂

Hi, great questions (and glad you’re loving the plugin)!

I have a couple of URL questions. Is it possible to either remove /category/ from the URL or rename it?

It’s possible, yes. We have a filter named tribe_events_category_rewrite_slug and you can use this to override the default, which is events/category (though it may have been localized depending on your settings).

So my main URL is http://www.site.com/events/calendar instead of http://www.site.com/events. Is it possible to overwrite the events URL slug so it takes an empty string?

Possible, but this might be a little tricky, principally because it needs to be a fairly unique string in order for it to mesh with WordPress’s system of routing requests according to rewrite rules.

Something you could explore (though not officially supported) is Event Rocket. This has an option to make the main events page show on your front page – and so might solve part of the problem, or you could use its code as the basis of your own solution.

Finally, I noticed the calendar does not work with Safari (using 2012 child theme), even on your demo, see for example http://wpshindig.com/event/wordpress-santa-cruz-meetup/2014-03-19/. How could that be fixed?

I’m at a slight disadvantage here as I don’t have access to Safari. I did ask a colleague to take a look and nothing seemed to jump out as obviously broken – can you clarify what the problem is?

Thanks!

Thanks Barry.
Regarding the Safari problem, the text does not appear at all, see here http://kaniamea.com/file.png. I first thought it was on my computer only but I had couple of friends from different locations to check that and they reported the same problem.

I’m really sorry we missed your reply: the thread was marked as resolved and it didn’t flag up as being in need of a response. Do you still require assistance with this?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
