No Randy, that is not the reason, because that is not how WP works.
Have you tried flushing the permalinks?
Dashboard > Settings > Permalink > Update.
Thank you Patrick for helping,
Yep, I have updated permalinks multiple times, everytime I change a setting at EM I believe.
Not sure what you meant by “that is not the reason, because that is not how WP works’
But I had decided that EM must be looking at the WP General Setting: “WordPress Address (URL)”
for creating the links??

I believe the problem is that I have wordpress core files in their own directory.
That is not (exactly) how WordPress works. 😉
What have you filled out in Events > Settings > Pages > Permalink Slugs?
So I thought you had it, because I found “events” in that setting
I changed it to upcoming-events and flushed permalinks and it still added “WordPress Address Directory”
I disabled Events > Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives Disable title rewriting?
flushed again
reenabled flushed again
still adding the “WordPress Address Directory”
By the way I just moved the website live this morning and it was easier to move all the core files to their own directory— so all the events were created in the old sandbox location originally.
Also I have since run “Better Search Replace” a couple of times once to replace basic links and another time to change the locations of images.
But I decided that EM was creating these links?
Thank you again! for all your time
I gave up,
I haven’t marked this resolved but I went ahead and moved the core files to the root folder and gave up on having the separate directory for them.
Now the Events manager plugin is creating permalinks correctly, so as far as I can see, what I was trying to do isn’t possible with this plugin, which is no big thing after almost 15 years of playing with wordpress I don’t feel like I have ever made that work.
As a matter of fact the Wp Admin bar wasn’t working either, I am surprised how much I count on that thing I hated at first!
Again Thank you Patrick for trying!
