How to change “events” slug & rewrites

Last Updated: January 17, 2024

Changing event slug can be achieved easily via eventon settings.

Under the EventON Event Post Slug field write the slug text you want to appear instead of /events/ Changing this would result in a single event page URL like http://www.awesomesite.com/events/cool-event/

Further Customize Rewrites

You can further customize the event permalink structure with the slug by tapping into the pluggable filter like below. — This code should go in functions.php  file in your theme.

More information on rewrite editing can be found in here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/#rewrite

add_filter('eventon_event_slug','my_function',10,1);
function my_function($array){
	$array['with_front'] = false; //Should the permalink structure be prepended with the front base
	$array['pages'] = true; //Should the permalink structure provide for pagination
	$array['feeds'] = true; //Should a feed permalink structure be built for this post type
	return $array;
}
