edit: (the title of this post was truncated, it was originally “single event slug on events with the same title”)<\/p>\n

I’ve had this working on another installation, but I am absolutely mystified as to what happened to the event-date-based slug on single event URLs of the same name.<\/p>\n

Currently when I create an event with the same name as an existing event, I end up with ‘\/event\/event-name-2’ as the slug, and I would really prefer ‘\/event\/event-name\/YYYY-MM-DD’ or even (preferably) ‘\/event\/YYYY\/MM\/DD\/event-name’ like my permalinks are configured.<\/p>\n

As I said, I have a site where this is (or was, perhaps, until I updated most recently) working just fine, but I’m setting up a new site and I can’t seem to reproduce this behavior, and searching the forums\/knowledgebase\/stackoverflow\/internets are not providing useful results (which is alarming. Are people really okay with event-name-2 … event-name-38 and so on in their permalinks? Gross.)<\/p>\n

I even installed the “custom post type permalinks” plugin, but that only lets me configure the slug to today’s date (or the post creation date) not the event date. I guess if I knew what the %keyword% was in that context to get the event date, that would be an adequate solution.<\/p>\n

Thanks for any help you can offer. I can provide direct links to examples if desired<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1136745","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nsingle event slug on events with the same -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/single-event-slug-on-events-with-the-same\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"single event slug on events with the same -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"edit: (the title of this post was truncated, it was originally “single event slug on events with the same title”) I’ve had this working on another installation, but I am absolutely mystified as to what happened to the event-date-based slug on single event URLs of the same name.
