I have this problem as well. The suggested workaround by @moose1 didn’t work – rather I have to change the user’s role to a standard one, modify the author of the post, and then change the author’s role back to the custom one again. Not ideal.

It eventually occurred to me that I could use the bulk editor to open twenty posts at a time, and then save them (with no actual changes to the posts), which re-created the slugs. I did this 40 times, and it’s all good again. Not as interesting as a sql query, but effective.

I find that if I open up an affected post and click “update”, the slug gets re-created, thereby solving the problem, on that post (I’d only have to do that 600-800 times). Were there some batch tool to force posts to be re-saved, that would also be an alternate solution, but I suspect that that is the stuff of fantasy.

As far as I know those plugins don’t allow one to search specific fields within tables for strings, and don’t allow one to replace those strings with post-specific content from another field in the same table (never mind that they lack the ability to reformat the post_title so that it contains no spaces or punctuation before it replaces the post_name).

I only just noticed your custom-query reply today, aryanduntley. Thanks. I might give it a try when I have a moment!

I’ve been using this plugin for years, and I’m expecting it to die one day, but it’s integral to the site I use it on (if it stops working, I may have to switch to Drupal to achieve the same thing, which seems excessive…). I keep hoping someone will take up the mission of updating it, but that seems increasingly unlikely. I should try to learn more php and do it myself, but that may be an equally unlikely occurrence.

Thanks for the information. Maybe I can keep it going a little longer!

Works perfectly over here… Did you select the tables to search?

Okay, I figured out how to add new bookseller links. In this example, I’m adding a field for PayPal buy-now URLs.

In the plugin folder, add the following to the relevant section of totally-booked.php:

'paypal_url'          => array(
'title'       => __( 'PayPal URL', 'totally-booked' ),
'icon_url'    => TB_URI . 'assets/images/paypal-buy-now-button.jpg',
'popup_class' => 'paypal'
),

Then upload paypal-buy-now-button.jpg to totally-booked/assets/images.

I didn’t succeed at getting this to work by placing the files in my child theme, so unfortunately it requires direct modification of the plugin files.

Thanks, dthianna, good idea. Limited if you have a lot of indie publishers, but it works.

From testing, it would appear that the solution is to include the name of a family member in the shortcode, though the “can” in the installation instructions implies that this is an option, not a requirement:

“Note: You can put the post name/title of the person you wish to be displayed at the root of the family tree as a parameter in the shortcode: [family-tree root='<post title>’]”

This is marked ‘resolved’. What was the resolution?

If this helps at all: I just updated a second site using EM (almost indentical to the first site except for content), from 5.5.3.1 to 5.5.4. After I did the update, all content vanished from the month view, current and past months — but like the other site it reappeared again after a few screen refreshes. In the meantime, I’d made no other changes to the system. In fact, the only thing I did, besides screen refresh, is click the “please see this post” link (about the Tim Thumb retirement) that appeared at the top of the admin dashboard after the EM update.

Hmmm. Events suddenly started showing up again in full calendar. Possibly some sort of browser cache matter. Never mind!

See if this helps:

I just updated EM to 5.5.4 (from 5.5.3.1) and my full month-view calendar is now empty. I display it on a page using this shortcode: [events_calendar long_events=1 full=1]. Another page using table view (shortcode [events_list_grouped]) seems unaffected.
