Hi when I click on the event page “http://asc.keppelland.com/events/asc-2019/”, I get a 404 error. Appreciate your advice? |
Hi there, Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks. You don’t need to do anything there, just visit the page. Does the above link now work? |

Hi Tony, I have to change the “Common Settings” to “Plain” though I would like to use “Post Name”. Appreciate your advice please. Thank you. |
The above usually means that something is interfering with EE registering its post types and setting the rewrite rule for ‘pretty’ permalinks (like ‘Post Name’). One troubleshooting step you can take is to install the Health Check plugin. Then go to WP → Dashboard → Heath Check → Troubleshooting. There you’ll Enable Troubleshooting Mode, then once that’s activated you’ll reactivate Event Espresso only via the Health Check’s Troubleshooting item in the WP admin bar. At that point, can you check to see if the issue persists? |

Hi, after activating Troubleshooting and reactivating EE, I do not see the EE menu on the left. How do I test if issue is resolved then? After deactivating Troubleshooting and setting Permalink to “Post name”, the reported issue remains, I again have to set it to “Plain” |
Sounds like you are activating Event Espresso through the plugins menu and not the Troubleshooting widget on the Dashboard. Activate Troubleshooting mode and go to the Dashboard, then enable EE through the troubleshooting widget, here – https://monosnap.com/file/3Ip6xkBfDHRLqHrAgwo1PoSYbune3z
If will because nothing has changed. |

Hi Tony, |

Hi, After activat EE through the Troubleshooting widget, I don’t see EE in the WordPress plugins menu. |
Strange, the only time I’ve seen that is when you don’t activate it through the troubleshooting widget, or, you aren’t logged in as an administrator. Pretty much the only time we see the above issue is when something is hooking in flushing permalinks at an unexpected time, that’s usually a plugin but can also be the theme. Troubleshooting mode is the easiest method to disable plugins without it affecting your users but if thats not working you may need to de-activate all Non-EE plugins on the site and restest that way. I’m assuming your normal posts work when set to Post Name, is that correct? |
