I fixed my issue by updating WordPress and discovering that my version of EM was out of date and updating that too. No more problems. Thanks for building an excellent plugin!

An end to the saga: I updated WordPress AND Events Manager (turns out I was two versions behind, shame on me), and everything is working like a charm. Best plugin ever.

Hi Marcus, I’m trying to do exactly the same thing, but inksprite’s quick and dirty fix did not work for me. At the essence of what I’d like to know is: Did recurring event templates end up getting their own pages in release 5.2.6? Annette

PS: I’ve been trying to resolve this issue in this post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/recurring1-shortcode-breaks-links?replies=6

In desperation I revisited this page and realized what you are saying and that if the recurring event templates don’t get their own pages what I’m trying to do can’t happen.

Hi Aglonwl,

The shortcode does work beautifully for me in that the list it generates is exactly what I want to see. The problem is that the links for the event names in the list don’t go to the event page, they go to a page that says “Page not found.” Here is the exact shortcode I’m using:

[events_list recurring=1 category="22"]

When you used the shortcode, do the links in the generated list work?

What I think is supposed to happen, that is not happening, is that the recurring=1 code should generate a list of links to the event template, not specific recurrences, and that for some reason, somewhere, I did something to break the link to the event templates (because even when I create a recurring event the “Preview Event” button takes me to “Page not found”).

I’ve also reset all the admin settings and that didn’t help.

The suggestion you mentioned by Marcus does not apply to what I am trying to do and the problem I’ve encountered.

I’m also already using the default 2011 theme.

Thanks for your persistence in following up on my post, Aglonwl.

Ok, I had this same problem and became very frustrated, because I don’t know any coding (didn’t even know where to find the design sheets). After hours of reading tutorials on the web, here is my step-by-step explanation of the solution I found:

If you mouse over the “Plugins” tab on your dashboard, you’ll see something called “Editor”. Select it.

When you get there on the top right you’ll see a place where you can pick the name of the plugin you want to edit. Select “GT Tabs”.

Under the “Plugin Files” menu on the right side, pick gt-tabs/style.php.

Scroll down until you see this block of code:

ul.GTTabs li
	{
	<?php if ($GTTabs_options["layout"]=="horizontal") echo "display: inline !important;"; ?>
	font-size: <?php echo $GTTabs_options["font-size"]; ?>;
	line-height: normal;
	background: none;
	padding: 0px;
	margin:1em 0px 0px 0px;
	}

After line-height:, where it says normal, replace this with a number. For me the right value was 1.5. The way to think about it is the same way you think about the spacing between lines in a text document. Each row of tabs is a separate line of text and 2 would mean double spacing. That line for GT Tabs for me now looks like:

line-height:1.5;

Hope this helps someone!

Additional Symptoms:

1. If I go to edit the recurring event template and click on “View Post” or “Preview Changes” I get the same “Page not found” error.

2. If I go the calendar for a specific day and click on the class name there, it takes me to the workshop description without any trouble.

Hi Aglonwl,

Thank you for responding to my post. I’ve read both of those posts, but neither of those address my problem precisely. I do not have the WPML Plugin installed. What I would like to do is accomplished perfectly with the recurring=1 shortcode, but when I do that, the links to the event page result in the 404 “Page Not Found” error.

The list on this page appears exactly how I would like it to: https://www.bluesage.org/?page_id=3755

However, if you click on either of those workshops for more information you get to the “Page not found error.”

What I am trying to determine is why the recurring=1 shortcode broke the link.

Thanks,
Annette

Hi Sorry, I started a new thread for the variation of my problem, and wanted to delete my previous post and discovered I couldn’t. Please ignore. . .

The curious thing is that when I deleted the custom menu the automatic menu creator added drop menus with all the child pages.

Thanks Esmi, I tried deactivating all the plugins from the admin menu and temporarily disabling the plugins folder by ftp, but nothing changed the problem. Any more thoughts? I can’t believe how quickly you responded.

So then I was trying to show the problem to someone else, and as an experiment we moved a sub-menu to be a main menu, and tried to move it back. In retrospect, probably a bad move as my site is live and all these things are being shown on the website as I’m doing them, but when we hit save when trying to move the menu back we got the message “. . . ID does not appear to be a menu ID” or something like that. When we went back to pages, and then back to appearance->menu, only four of the menus came back. ??

Trevor, it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one.
