Event Search goes to 404 page

Hi,

I’ve got the event search shortcode set up on my site, when I type the name of an event it appears, I click it, but then I get taken to a 404 page. I’m taken to …/?page_id=4&ee=2, whereas the event is actually located at …/?page_id=142&ee=2 – my Event Registration page has id 142.

Any pointers?

Thank you 🙂

I was having a similar issue on my test install. We have an open ticket for this. In the meantime, you can try switching to “pretty permalinks” by going to your WordPress Permalink settings and using one of the non-default options (anything that isn’t ?p=123 for permalinks). Another possibility is putting the event search shortcode on the same page as the ESPRESSO_EVENTS shortcode.

Sorry for the trouble!

I was just looking into the bug ticket we have for this and found the problem. We are declaring page_id=4 in the code! That is totally my fault and will have it fixed in the next update.

In the meantime, if you want to fix it yourself find the following line of code in the event-espresso/includes/shortcodes.php file:

echo '{ url:"?page_id=4&ee='.$event->id.'", value: "'.stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) . $venue_name .'", id: "'.$event->id.'" },';

Replace page_id=4 with your Event Registration page id.

Hope that helps!

Or actually. You can just replace:

echo '{ url:"?page_id=4&ee='.$event->id.'", value: "'.stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) . $venue_name .'", id: "'.$event->id.'" },';

With this:

echo '{ url:"'.espresso_reg_url($event->id).'", value: "'.stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) . $venue_name .'", id: "'.$event->id.'" },';
