The Events Calendar – Recurring Event Instances Link to First Occurrence

Overview of the Issue

If you are using The Events Calendar in conjunction with WPML, links for instances of recurring events incorrectly point to the first event occurrence.

This happens when pages are set to “Translatable – use translation if available or fallback to default language”, and it affects the links on the original-language page too, not only on translations.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full backup of your site before proceeding.

Option 1

• Go to WPML → Settings → Post Types Translation section.
• Set your Pages as Translatable – only show translated items

Option 2

• Open your theme’s functions.php file.
• Add the following code:

  add_filter ('the_content', 'remove_wpml_filter', 98, 1);
  function remove_wpml_filter($content) {
  	global $wp_filter;
  	foreach ($wp_filter["the_content"]->callbacks[99] as $key => $value) {
  		if(str_contains($key, 'fix_fallback_links')){
  			remove_filter( 'the_content', $key, 99 );
  		}
  	}
  	return $content;
  }
