Fixing Events Permalink

I found my own solution here:

Modify Registered CPT

What I changed:

/**
 * Filter the Products CPT to register more options.
 *
 * @param $args       array    The original CPT args.
 * @param $post_type  string   The CPT slug.
 *
 * @return array
 */
function custom_mec_event_permalink( $args, $post_type ) {
  // If no MEC Events CPT, bail.
  if ( 'mec-events' !== $post_type ) {
    return $args;
  }
  // Add additional Products CPT options.
  $event_args = array(
    'rewrite' => array(
        'slug' => 'events',
        'with_front' => false,
    )
  );
  // Merge args together.
  return array_merge( $args, $event_args );
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'custom_mec_event_permalink', 10, 2 );

Thanks

Hello @viablethought,

Thank you for your report, it will be fixed in the next updates.

Best Regards

@viablethought — just ran into this problem myself, and really appreciate you sharing the solution here–that was very helpful!

@webnus — a friendly reminder to please fix this in your next update!

@hastibe –

No problem. These are slow to fixing things so most of the time you have to fix things yourself ??

I have the same problem and i have added above code on function.php but when i going on event single page it showing 404 error means page not findout.
So please tell me why this is occuring.

See abpve url i want to remove /blog/ from this single event peremalink therefor i have added above code but not working.
Please tell me solution for this.

@roshankhan –

The “with_front” => false should remove /blog/ from the permalink, did you flush your permalinks? Flush your permalinks by going to Permalinks and just simply re-saving.

Yes, Now it is working.
Thanks, @jason Ryan

I was also looking for this, super useful, thank you!

Another thing to consider is that the $args have ‘archive” simply set to true. In that same hook you could also specify a specific archive URL:

$args['has_archive'] = 'events';

Hopefully these kind of settings get added to future versions. I’m tired of using Tribe Events and desperately need a solid alternative…

The code worked great except for the breadcrumb link.

https://website.com/ events / event

When I click on events in the breadcrumb it still goes to the default permalink setting which in my case is /blog/events and since the page is no longer there I get a 404 error.

I fixed this using Redirection but would prefer some code if anyone can suggest a fix.

@dltampa –

Maybe try using the Custom Post Type Permalinks plugin? Depends on how your breadcrumbs are setup or configured.
