We have had this happen a few times since our site has been live…and I’ve noticed others have had the same issue. All of a sudden our event URLs come back with a 404. This is not good for potential business as it is very random. I go into the Permalinks and resave the page and it fixes the issue. It’s an easy fix, but unfortunately most times we aren’t aware of this issue until a potential student contacts us saying they are having trouble accessing the events. Why do we have to keep resave the permalinks? We have the latest version of EE installed.
Thanks!
If this is happening it usually means something on your site is flushing permalinks at an unexpected point in the request, before EE has added its own rewrite rules to be saved.
We can’t tell you what is doing it on the request, but we have a snippet available that logs when something calls to flush permalinks, it won’t solve the problem but should show what is causing it.
You’ll first need to add this to your sites wp-config.php file:
Any calls to rewrite permalinks will be logged in /wp-content/debug.log which we can then view.
