[Plugin: The Events Calendar] Thousands of wrong 404s generated

I am enjoying your Events Calendar, however I have noticed a major problem with it. It is creating a massive amount of 404s that I am seeing in Google Webmaster Tools.

E.g.

http://cloudtimes.org/events/category/europe/1939-02
which links to:
http://cloudtimes.org/events/category/europe/1939-02/URL

I tried entering the some suggested code (https://gist.github.com/2763669 and https://gist.github.com/1964698) by Joey and Paul, however no success. That caused an issue as the function was already declared in the theme, so I just removed the part that declared the function and left the code that calls the function, but then that results in this error:

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘tribe_dont_index_day_views’ was given in /home/content/m/t/a/mtantow7/html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 40

(results from)

if (class_exists( ‘TribeEvents’ ) )
add_action(‘wp_head’,’tribe_dont_index_day_views’);

in functions.php

Can you help?

Hi mtantow,

The first Gist is what you should be using and I’m not quite sure why it’s not working. Can you post your full functions.php to Gist or Pastebin so I can see what you’ve got?

Thanks,
Jonah

Thanks, Jonah for coming back on this. The functions.php file is just a file that includes another file that includes about 20 other files. Can you indicate what you’re looking for, so I can try to extract that.

Sure, I just want to see the file where you’ve placed the code and make sure there’s nothing off with it.

Thanks,
Jonah

Hi Jonah, I have been watching Google Webmaster for a while. The initial problem seems to be fixed, however there is a similar 404 error now with tags.

These 404 errors seem to be fixed:
events/category/usa/1793-02/URL
events/category/usa/1792-11/URL

However now these appear and cause a 404:
events/tag/Government/
events/tag/mobilecloud/

I assume they come from the Events plugin.

And another type of 404s where I am not sure if they are caused by the Events plugin:
?tribe_organizer=ubm-techweb-3/feed/
?tribe_organizer=keynote/feed/

Thanks for your help,

Martin

Hi there Martin. Thanks for the follow-up here; I’m not sure Jonah saw this, so I’ve passed it his way directly and asked him to take another look. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience so far.

Hi Martin,

I’m not sure myself why this is happening but am checking with one of the other devs to see what we can find. I’ll post back here when I know more.

Cheers,

Hi Martin. I just sent you an email on this; wanted to follow-up here confirming as much in case you checked here first. Thanks again for your patience.

Hi Martin,

Just to confirm because I don’t see it mentioned here and I don’t remember if we asked you this already, but what version of the plugin are you running?

2.0.7

Hey Martin,

We’re still investigating this. It appears that it could be a conflict with the tag cloud plugin you are using where either our plugin is inadvertently appending /events/ to the URL’s of the tags or the tag cloud is not getting URL’s properly.

What plugin are you using for the tag cloud?

Thanks,
Jonah

Hi Jonah, As far as I know I’m not using any plugin for the tag cloud. Just the default WP one. FYI: I’ve also upgraded to 2.0.8
