    Hi

    I am looking at adding an Events Manager to my existing site of around 2000 pages, for a legacy reason that I can’t change I use the plugin ”.html on PAGES” and the permalink structure /%category%/%postname%.html

    What I am hoping to achieve is to get this plugin to play nicely with above and / or add .html to the end of the posts generated by the Events Manager plugin. On a test site I found the .html on PAGES plugin is causing a 404 issue with the Event page. I also tried the “Custom Post Type Permalinks” plugin with Events Manager and although I could put .html at the end of the Events and Location posts I get 404 errors on those pages.

    Any thoughts custom permalink code or alternate events plugins will be much appreciated

    hi,

    you can try other wordpress plugin to do this

    eg. https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-permalinks

    Yes I did try that plugin, and used the format /%postname%.htm in the permalinks settings. Each event looks ok ending in .htm. Of the pages generated by the plugin mydomain/events/locations.htm and mydomain/events/categories.htm etc work but mydomain/events.htm returns a 404. It was the closest I got to a working solution.

    One question and thought, how does the plugin take over the content of the 5 pages it generates? Maybe I make my own events page named something else and use a shortcode to display the events if that is available.

    That’s probably the solutions to this. You can create an events list in any page by adding this shortcode to it:

    [events_list]

    Yep that did the trick I created my own events, locations and category pages with the appropriate shortcode in them, in settings I set Event List/Archives Events page to [No Events Page] and everything is behaving as I want it.
