# Location page permalink issue

 * After the update from 7.0.5 to 7.1.2, the permalinks to my location pages are
   broken. I had them set like this:
 * **Events:** `events`
   **Locations:** `events/locations`**Event Categories:** `
   events/categories`**Event Tags:** `events/tags`
 * Rolling back to 7.0.5 and re-saving Permalink Slugs seems to fix it.

 * Looks like in 7.1 the permalink to the location pages changed from mysite.com/
   events/locations to mysite.com/locations and this is what caused the problem.
   Now if you had any links to locations pages they will be invalid. I don’t know
   if or when [@msykes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msykes/) (aka Marcus)
   will fix this. Meanwhile you can fix this with the [Redirection](https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/)
   plugin. You would specify /events/locations/(.*) as the source URL and /locations/
   $1 as the target URL.

 * I had to resave the Permalinks in the plugin after rolling back to correct the
   error.

 * Hi, we’ve just released 7.1.7 which will fix this issue. This seemed to be spefic
   to setu ps having event/location slugs with conflicting hierarchies such as events
   and events/locations.
