[Plugin: Events Manager (4.0.82)] Permalinks not working

Hello.

I’ve recently upgraded the Events Manager plugin from 4.0.6 to 4.0.82 and it seems that after that all event permalinks on the website simply stopped working. Whenever I click on a /events/event/slug link, it just redirects me silently to the /events/ page. This does not seem to happen if permalinks are on the default setting, so it must be something with the SEO link handling of this plugin? I’ve tried disabling and re-enabling the plugin, but it didn’t work.

I’ve tried this out on my development server which uses apache, and it seems to work all right. Production server which uses nginx doesn’t though. Could different rewrite handling be the explanation?

Cheers in advance.

if its working on your dev server then the plugin works okay. however, have you check you prod servers settings like in apache there’s a rewrite_module thing.

Well, I did a copy paste of the whole site back to my development server just now just to be sure, and now it doesn’t work there either. So it could either be the code of the update or some plugins interfering with each other? I ruled out the theme being the problem, as on another theme the exact same problem still occurs.

if permalinks don’t work try refreshing your settings by going to general > permalinks and updating.

I tried doing that before, and it didn’t work. I also tried turning them to the default setting and back again. It worked on the default setting, didn’t when I switched back to “Month and name”. This problem only shows up in the event details section in the plugin (domain/index.php/events/event/a-slug) and funnily enough nowhere else on the website.

you probably have an IIS problem, limited to a few IIS servers (only one confirmed so far), check another post on here I made a few mins ago http://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-detail-links-not-working-latest-version-fresh-install?replies=4

if you can give me your exact IIS specs that’d help narrow this issue down so I can fix this.

Hi Marcus,
I’m just getting started with the Event Manager extension, but it is giving me a lot of PHP Warnings if I enable anything apart from the Default under Permalink Settings. I tried to install the EM Reset Permalinks extension on the Event Manager site, but it wouldn’t install (invalid headers).

The warnings look like this:
```
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /home/site/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 198

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /home/site/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 199
```
(but are repeated about 20 times)

I see some other people are having similar problems with the Event Calendar extension:

Thanks,
Ross.

Marcus:

That’s the thing though, I am not using IIS. The server I am on is using nginx and this still seems to be an issue. I transferred the entire install to a apache server (my own development server) to see if this was a http server software issue, but the links seem to not be working there either. It is a very peculiar issue that did not seem to happen until I updated to the latest version.

At any rate I applied your fix and the event details work now, albeit without proper permalinks.

interseting blodo, did you try refreshing in apache?

ross, this sounds like another plugin issue (probably ec), first i ever see that error in my plugin.

Hi Marcus,
I have just updated to 4.0.83 and reset the permalinks and the PHP warnings seem to have disappeared. Not sure what the cause was (I didn’t have Event Calendar installed), but anyway glad it’s not there anymore.
Cheers,
Ross.

hi Ross, thanks for letting me know. I don’t either, so let’s just leave it at that 🙂

I’d got a fresh installation of WordPress, added Events Manager, then changed the permalink structure and links to events stopped working, I tried the solution Marcus offered above above, going to general > permalinks and updating and that solved it.
