Hi, I’m trying to resolve the same issue today, and want to bump this thread.
I also can open events properly when permalinks are set to default, but I get 404 errors when I switch back to my preferred setting.
I’m on wordpress 4.2.1 and EM 5.5.6
Do normal posts and pages work when using friendly permalinks?
Same issue here
When event manager is installed , 4 major pages are created (1 Parent & 3 children)
+Events – Contains a list of upcoming events and a search form.
-Categories – Contains a list of event categories.
-Locations – Displays the list of locations on your site.
-My Bookings – Displays a user’s booking history and cancellation options.
So the permalinks for the locations page would be http://www.yourwebsite.com/events/locations and that is giving us 404 error…if you remove the location page from under events and make it a parent so the url would be http://www.yourwebsite.com/locations then it would work.
Why EM would created as a child if it will not work?
I am interested to keep them children of event and add more children such as past events under the parent “event” page but it will not work- your thoughts?
did you already check the permalink slug under Events > Settings > Pages > Permalink Slugs > Locations and make it instead ‘events/locations’ ?
Hi Angelo
Thanks for the note…you are right we can change that in there but that would be only for locations and categories but that is it.
Right? so for past events…it does not work if you make that page a child of the parent page called event.
This sounds like an issue with your theme. Have you tried testing with the default WordPress theme?
@caimin_nwl
I just tested it with the 2015 theme and same issue…the minute I removed the calendar page from under the parent event page and became /calendar/ instead of events/calendar it worked even on the 2015…no clue of what is going on.
Given what you’ve said, it sounds like a theme issue. The workaround is probably to use the URL structure that works.
No it is not a theme issue- as I stated in my previous note…I tested it with the wp 2015 theme and faced the same issue.
Are you saving your permalinks between switching themes?
This sounds like what I’ve experienced, detailed here:

The issue does not seem to be one of the theme or the permalinks setting, but rather of the plugin itself.
try to resave permalinks under WP Settings > Permalinks eg. set to default permalink > save > test and then set to custom permalink > save > test
angelo – that solved the issue for me – strangely I had to do it two times for it to take effect.
Angelo- not for me- did not work…I wonder why.
I dont use custom , I use post name.
What version of Events Manager and WordPress are you using?
