Hi Rachel and Barry,
I too bought the Pro plugin for the recurring events, and it doesn’t appear to behave in a logical fashion for many reasons, but this reason especially has become a problem for my client.
Looking at my 404 with PHP Debug enabled, it seems that a recurring event that takes the format
event/event-name-here/2014-24-06
which matches the “attachment” rule in the redirects:
event/[^/]+/([^/]+)/?$
instead of matching as a post like a single event would with:
event/([^/]+)(/[0-9]+)?/?$
So basically viewing a single event in a recurring sequence isn’t possible as it is getting caught incorrectly as an attachment rewrite, and misdirected accordingly?
I might be offtrack here but thought it might be worth mentioning.
