# BUG slug issue

 *  Resolved [mrppp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrppp/)

 * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slug-issue-1/)
 * i find that if a user submits an event with location, when published looking 
   in database **wp_em_locations** no SLUG is created it just shows NULL, this then
   causes no location to show on LOCATIONS page and also seems to cause my other
   issue.
 * If as an admin i create an event with location a slug is put in database and 
   i get no issues
 * For it to show in page LOCATIONS as with other issue i have to go into admin 
   events/location open the location then click update.
 * it seems publishing is not enough, you have to reopen then update too.then also
   it shows a slug in databse **wp_em_locations**
 * this also is the reason for this
    `http://www.berkshireeventsguide.co.uk/locations.

 * again updating after publishing solves, as it then gets a slug location-2
 * Looking now at other events created by users, none of the locations are showing
   on LOCATIONS page and none have slugs in database, just updated all and now all
   have slugs and all are showing on LOCATIONS page.

 * Same with version 5.5 all plugins deactivated twenty eleven theme
 * Are there any settings in WP settings-discussion that may play a part in this?

 * Fresh install of WP 3.6 and install of EM
    User creates event with location for
   review. log in as admin publish event. Single event shows, single location shows.
   On page LOCATIONS no location shown, in database no slug created.
 * As admin go back into locations open location click update.
    Slug appears in 
   database and location shows on LOCATIONS page. NO plugins used , default WP theme

 * I don’t get the side-effect you’re mentioning, but I do get the empty slug when
   testing this. Will fix.

 * are you submitting as a user (subscriber)rather than admin?

 * yes, there was a bug in the past that was related to publishing events with draft
   locations, are you ont he latest update there?

 * Sorry for the delay in notifying you, but this should be fixed in 5.5.2, let 
   us know if not and we’ll have another look!
