   Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make these permalinks more consistent, i.e. have the same structure.

   I make a test single event and the link is:
   /events/test-single/

   I make a test recurring event and the link is:
   /events/test-recurring-2012-02-23/

   Can I have the event (not post) date added automatically to single events as well? Yes? Yay! How?

   :)

   Thank you!!

   this could be done theoretically. you'd have to add a hook yourself via php.

   Yoast has a plugin that cleans the slug, I'd imagine it would be using similar principles.

   Could this be made the default setup on future Events Manager versions?

   See if I have a single event..
   http://mysite.com/events/art-workshop/
   and then next week/month someone else lists another "art workshop"
   it becomes
   http://mysite.com/events/art-workshop-2/
   and so on...

   http://mysite.com/events/YEAR-MONTH-DAY/art-workshop
   or
   http://mysite.com/events/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/art-workshop might make more sense.

   Probably, you can test this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-permalinks/ and give us some feedback

   Note:
   In the wp settings settings > permalinks under Permalink Setting for custom post type

   location = /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id%/
   event = /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id%/

   maybe... I'd have to look into this more, as I'd expect us to be able to just add e.g. %year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%post_id% and it just work.

   Maybe it's something we have to do, but it might also be something WP can do or will (can) do in the near future.

   Hi and thanks for the suggestion. I tried the plugin - it added the date to urls but just date and post id, no post title. PLUS it messed with my events home page (mysite.com/events/) - the home page pulled a different template file for some reason, not the template file I had set up. I removed the plugin and reset the permalinks and it's back to how it was. It's not a MAJOR issue, but it would be nice to have dates with single events as well.
