MEC links structure

Support
#1

Hi,

I tried to use breadcrumbs on my site and noticed a strange thing. The Events Archive page is located under a slug we specify in MEC settings. Let’s say its ‘Event’ (like in my case). We open up the Archive Page lookup for an event and want to see it’s detailed. When we click the selected event then it’s link looks like this: https://event.skating.global/blog/event/chelyabinsk-cup-2018/. So we can see that a /blog/ slug has been added before our Events Archive Page and the page inherits the standard Blog Page Title. And if we use breadcrumbs and click ‘Events’ in it, we get to a non-existed link https://event.skating.global/blog/event/. However, Events Archive Page shall be there instead as the root link https://event.skating.global/event/.

I understand that in WP everything spins around custom blog posts. But still, we can have Portfolio section in WP with its posts or WooCommerce /root/ slug with the related posts (products) which is defined in WP Permalinks Settings etc. As I understand the same thing shall be with the Events in MEC.

I tried to contact developer of MEC plugin first and they said that this is a theme related issue.

Hi There,

Are you using the Wordpress Network?

To remove the blog slug in your URL, please take a look at this article:

Yes,

I have multi-site installation. Thanks for the suggestion. Is there a way to come back again if I get into an issue with that? And why there is no such a problem with WooCommerce for instance with its products?

Hello @imdyakov,

Thanks for updating the thread.

You have the option to save the current permalink structure. In future if you want to rollback, all that needs to be done is replace the permalink structure.

Thanks.

Just for the information. The issue was solved without changing WP permalink structure. You just need to return to default WP permalink settings and save. Then change it again and save.

It didn’t work when I tried to update something there and re-save the new permalinks settings. But return to defaults worked out as a reset action.

Glad to hear everything is working fine now.
