I’ve looked through the forums but not seen exactly this problem.
When I create a new event, and set “Add/Update Post” to “Yes,” a new post is created, but it is completely empty! I thought that was normal (and kind-of a waste of time.) I pasted in the information, saved, and then discovered, to my dismay, that the information was DELETED from the post every time I so much as looked at the event’s edit window.
I would enjoy the auto-create/update feature if it worked as it should, by dropping the contents of the original event description into the blog post, and updating whenever I made a change. But I need to figure out why nothing is showing up in the post at all.
What version of Event Espresso are you using? Are you using the custom post type feature or are you pushing events to regular blog posts? Is it just the update action that does this or do new events create blank posts as well?
You are using an old version of Event Espresso and I would strongly advise you to update, many new features and bug fixes have been added since that version.
It looks like the issue you are facing was fixed in 3.1.24 “Standard WP post content missing after updating an event if the CPT feature is disabled” It’s not an exact match for your problem but looks closely related.
I have tested the posts in the latest version of Event espresso and there is no problem with creating posts from events.
I have confirmation – updated the event and now the post works exactly as it should, with a map and links to the registration page. Woot!
