 * Hi,
 * thank you for the great and professional plugin.
 * I am importing event lists for tribe events calendar, along with ACF and ACF 
   Plugin for WPL IMport. Everything works well, all fields are filled correctly.
   I’m on local enviroment using MAMP.
 * After the records are imported, the slugs are created but when i click on them
   i get error 404.
    I have to go through each record end re-save it. only then 
   the data seems to get fully stored to database.
 * the same behaviour occurs when i want to change the layout (right/left sidebar),
   by updating the page metabox layout custom field for that. WPL Import will set
   that custom field correctly, but it wont be reflected until I go through each
   post and re-save it.
 * Could you tell me if this is normal and if its possible to make this last step.
   Saving/updating post meta with a WPL function /action hook?
 * Thank you in advance

 * This usually means that the imported posts (events) are missing some data that
   the plugin that displays them requires. We’ll really have to look inside the 
   database to advise on that.
 * Please replicate the issue on a debug site at [http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/](http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/)
   and open a support request at [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/)
   with the details.
