 * Hi,
    I just noticed that after upgrading my web server’s PHP to 7.0.33 (in order
   for EME to continue working), all of the Permalinks that had previously been 
   created for my dozen or so events have changed and no longer load up anything
   other than an error.
 * For instance, my previously saved URL of:
 * [https://tradablepatterns.com/events/6/live-futuresfx-trading/](https://tradablepatterns.com/events/6/live-futuresfx-trading/)
 * appears now (within the event permalink) as:
 * [https://tradablepatterns.com/events/live-futuresfx-trading](https://tradablepatterns.com/events/live-futuresfx-trading)
 * If I try loading either URL, I get the “oops! That page can’t be found” error.
 * Much appreciated in advance!

 * From the changelog:
 * * Better slug for events and locations (permalinks now without the event or location
   id). The new slug for an event will be used after you edit the event.
 * ==> this change was released on 2018/12/08 (version 2.0.69), so 6 months ago.

 * Hi Franky,
    Tks for the clarification. The strange thing is that this error in
   loading didn’t appear until yesterday.
 * Additionally, whether I use the new slug address or not, I can’t load the event
   page without the same error.
 * Tks in advance,
    Darren

 * If that’s the case, your SEO permalinks need to be reset. Go in the general wordpress
   settings for permalinks and press “save”. That should be sufficient.

 * Hi Franky,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I went to that General permalink setting
   and pressed save, but there’s no difference in the error msg displaying.
 * Do I have to try changing the Permalink format to something else and then back
   to the current, preferred setting for the event URLs to display the relevant 
   content? Before I make changes to the Permalink format, I’m cautious as I wouldn’t
   want to change any non-event existing pages on their URL structure.
 * Cheers,
    Darren

 * You can try that, shouldn’t hurt.
    Also, check that the eme setting concerning
   the special events page is set and points to a valid WordPress page.

 * Tks for the quick reply Franky.
    Turns out that after I had saved (the original
   Permalink structure setting), all event pages were loading fine w/ the original
   Permalink structure (w/ the event ID embedded within the URL).
 * Much appreciated for all your help and for a great plugin!

 * The original permalink structure for events (with the id embedded) is indeed 
   still supported (just not advertised anymore).
