 * Hi
 * I have used the shortcode [events_calendar] on one of my pages but I keep getting
   a 404 page not found error.
 * The Calendar page I have as a sub page of the parent Events page.
 * If I bring the calendar to the top level it works with the shortcode, but not
   as a child page.
 * Why is this please?
 * Regards
 * Steve B

 * Hello,
 * The problem may not be on the shortcode but on the page itself? Have you tried
   putting a plain text only on the said sub-page and check if the page is loading
   properly? Please also make sure that you have enough permissions to access the
   page.

 * Yes and Yes.
 * I an Administrator….
 * As I said the shortcode works as long as I do not give the page a parent.
 * Please advise
 * Regards
