The “edit all” recurring events functionality is defective.<\/p>\n
1) Create a new recurring event with a number of recurring instances. This creates a set of permalinks like this:
\nmysite.com\/event\/my-event\/2013-10-22
\nmysite.com\/event\/my-event\/2013-10-29
\netc
\n2) Now decide that you want to edit some text in all of the recurring events. I open the first event in the editor and the first error presents itself. The event start date and time is wrong (two days prior). If I don’t change it back, my edit will create the event on the wrong days. The plugin editor should show the correct date.
\n3) Now add my text and press “update”. In the popup I select “all events.”
\n4) Now the events all have a permalink that looks like this
\nmysite.com\/event\/my-event-2\/2013-10-22
\nmysite.com\/event\/my-event-2\/2013-10-29
\netc
\n4) Going to the original URL of mysite.com\/event\/my-event\/2013-10-29 results in a 404<\/p>\n
This is disastrous for SEO and social media sharing purposes. The permalink to the event should not change when I edit an event. Existing permalinks should not be destroyed in the process. Please fix ASAP. Making minor edits to a recurring series of events is an obvious use case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-71796","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
