URL's incorrect in search

[flyingarts]

Hi Cliff

I have updated Genesis to the latest version and did some further testing on this and another test site on my server.

It’s not search results that are showing the links incorrectly, but the single events URLs are created with an extra “\” in them, at the first place.

If you’ll go to WP Admin -> Events and open any event for editing, you’ll notice this “\” as part of original event permalink.

This URL structure persists no mater which WordPress theme you have active. (I tested it again with Genesis and Twenty Fifteen themes)

“The Events Calendar” plugin has settings page to add “Events URL slug” and “Single event URL slug” at WP Admin -> Events -> Settings. Apparently, it’s the limitation at the plugin’s end that using slug with a “-” works for “Events URL slug” but not for “Single event URL slug”. You’ll notice, event links will get fixed, if you change “whats-on” to “whatson” in “Single event URL slug” setting.

Many thanks

Thanks for helping get to the bottom of this.

I was able to reproduce this bug and noted it to our developers.

I’ll mark this ticket as Pending Fix, which means this thread should receive a reply once the applicable fix has been released. I apologize for this issue and appreciate your understanding and patience.

Thanks Cliff – appreciate the work you have put into investigating this. I look forward to the fix in an upcoming update.

thanks team – any idea when the new update will be shipped? We need to give an ETA to the client

[Cliff]

Glad to help. Thanks a lot for your efforts too!

I can’t provide a target or guesstimated date. Sorry.

I don’t believe it’s part of this week’s planned Maintenance Release (i.e. bug fix release) so maybe in a couple more weeks? But I can’t be certain.

Of course, I hope it’s ASAP for you. If I hear of a code snippet to solve the issue earlier, I’ll let you know.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hey @flyingarts — nice to see you again!

I just wanted to chime in and let you know that The Events Calendar 4.1.2 was just released and included a patch for this issue with permalinks. Please update to the latest version when you have a chance and please feel free to open a new thread if you continue to have any issues with this or anything else down the road.

Thanks so much for your patience while we worked on this!

Geoff
