We haven’t figured out exactly what’s happening, but our sense is that it’s due to us using the deprecated meta factory to customize the meta data. https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/the-events-calendarpro-3-6-changes-you-should-be-aware-of/ discusses using templates instead. It’s definitely something that changed between 3.6.1 and 3.8
Hi Barry – looks like this is NOT a multisites issue. We’re still poking around, but so far we have discovered that if we switch to the standard Twenty Fourteen theme instead of our own modified version of it, the slug is fine. We’re checking to see if we are pulling a default value in our version of the theme that may be out of date.
Hi Geoff! Thanks for checking in. Haven’t yet, but I’m still planning to give this a shot. Ok to keep this open for now?
Ok. Will it make a difference if I create new events in this test installation, or if I import them from another one?
Geoff – wow – the Event Rocket plugin looks phenomenal. Thanks for pointing me to it. I’ll try to reproduce the import issue after cleaning out the DB. It may take a day or two — can we keep this thread open for now?
All good questions!
The Seattle staging site is running on a node within a multisite network. It is set up as a subsite (not subdomain) under parent site stage2.livemusicproject.org.
There are no other active plugins on that site, other than The Events Calendar, ECP and Community Events.
We do have several Tribe-related customizations in the child theme, but I don’t know how to effectively summarize them for you 🙂 If you like, I could send you the theme file… would that help?
Hi Barry, thanks for looking into this. You won’t see the tribe_venue links on livemusicproject.org because I haven’t updated it since 3.6.1 due to this concern. But, you can them on my staging site: http://stage2.livemusicproject.org/seattle/tribe_organizer/seattle-symphony/
Hmm, I’m confused. It seems 3.7 modified my URLs rather than simply giving me the option to modify them. Can you confirm this was intentional?

Post-3.7: http://livemusicproject.org/tribe_venue/benaroya-hall/Thanks!
(I should say the native XML import/export tool is the only recourse. The CSV tool, as you say, does not export, nor does it cover all event data…)
Thanks — so far, that’s the best I’ve come up with as well. For others who are curious about this, it’s critical to be exporting/importing from/to sites that are using the same version of the plugins, otherwise wild and wacky things happen with recurring events (and normal events turning into recurring events).
