We don’t have a test site, but we’d be fine with you addressing the issue on the production site. We are in the middle of a pretty large campaign on the site at the moment that will wrap up at the beginning of Oct. Perhaps you can check into the site after that push is done?

I’m not sure what you mean by “resave the permalinks.” Can you be more explicit?

The plugins are up to date and I know that this fix works but only for a very short time:

disable all plugins
change to 2014 theme
enable event plugins and test
renable plugins
reactivate correct theme

It then works for anywhere from an hour to a couple of days but breaks again and again and again.

I’ve tracked it down to the Events template. After I change to any template, I get stuck with 404s on events main page and event pages. At that point I have to disable all plugins and rotate templates in order to get events back.

I spoke too soon.

I had it partially working, was able to reach the main events page and a test event.

I added a shortcode to display the calendar widget here:

http://werepair.org/new-york-test/

(Which, incidentally, is not working properly – I can’t change calendar month, when you click on a date it jumps to the top of the page).

And also changed the template of the event page (settings->display->event template) as well as the stylesheet to ‘skeleton’.

Now, again, I get 404s on http://werepair.org/events/ as well as a test event at http://werepair.org/event/test/.

Why does making configuration changes mean I have to reset all plugins, the theme and permalinks?

[David]

I got it working – here are the steps I had to take:

1) Disable all plugins
2) Switch to 2014 theme
3) Change permalinks structure to default, save, back to post name
4) Switch back to original theme
5) Enable plugins one-by-one

Hope that helps someone.

Hi Josh,

As I said in my original post, I did try changing the URL slugs. This had no effect.

When I disabled plugins, I did this one-at-a-time to try and track down the offending plugin, however, I can disable them all and re-enable them one at a time if you think it will make a difference.

Caching wasn’t the issue as I tested in several different browsers that had not previously loaded the site.

Open to your thoughts,

Chad
