Recurring – changes to schedule deletes events and creates new ones

[Anonymous]

I’m not sure if this should be posted as a bug or feature request, so it goes as a feature request:

When changing the dates of a recurring event, it deletes the old events and creates new events.

This will result in a lot of broken links in search engines and from refering websites.

My suggestion is to reuse / update the old events, to prevent broken links.

When changing the dates, they become new events. Almost impossible to change existing events then: if you change the dates, the recurrence might change as well, so what happens with the “left over days”? And how do you know which “old” events maps to which “new” event? This one is not going to be implemented by me, way too much cases can pop up. In all cases, except for date changes, the events are kept if possible.

Ok …that is true …

But, as it is right now …it shows an empty event in case it does not exist …that is bad for Google and the user as well.

How about showing a 404 or making a 301 redirect to /events if an event does not exists?

Best!

The 404 happened to be another feature request I just implemented:

That returns an error, because headers are already sent …and content.

that’s weird … it works fine here if I directly go to an event that doesn’t exist. Can you show such an url? Or where the headers are already sent?

Do you have somtething calling eme_get_event before calling wp_head?

[Franky]

Hmmm … your theme seems to be the cause of this. I tried using the standard theme and have no issues. Can you mail/post the header.php of your theme?

This issue has been fixed and a properly 404 redirection is done now.

Thanks! 🙂

Even better now: I use the 404 template of the theme.

More clean, and implementet 😉
