Events Calendar Translations

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are translating a website to Spanish using WPML and encountering 'Not Found' errors on the Events Calendar pages, including both archive and single event pages, despite successful translations according to Translation Management.
Solution:
We resolved the issue of Events Calendar pages showing 'Not Found' in Spanish by addressing the custom URL structure in the Permalinks settings. Here's how you can fix it:
1. Navigate to the Permalinks settings in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Remove any custom structures that include 'index.php' in the path, as this can cause 404 errors.
3. Change the permalink setting to 'Post name' to ensure URLs are generated based on the post titles.
After making these changes, the Events Calendar pages should display correctly in Spanish.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking for related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

jamesS-53	Background of the issue: I am translating a website to Spanish using WPML that was developed by someone else. All pages and posts worked fine, but the Events Calendar pages all come up as 'Not Found' in Spanish. That's for the archive and single events. The website has an active license on their own account. I followed all documentation in the knowledgebase for the Events Calendar. The event category pages do work. Symptoms: Events Calendar pages show 'Not Found' in Spanish, despite being translated successfully according to Translation Management. Questions: Why are the Events Calendar pages showing 'Not Found' in Spanish? How can I resolve the 'Not Found' issue for the Events Calendar pages?

I would like to look at this directly on your site. For this I would need temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site, preferably to a test/staging site where the problem has been replicated if possible. The required fields can be found below the comments section. The information you enter is private, i.e. only you and I can see it and have access to it. I may need to replicate your website locally. To do this, I need to temporarily install a plugin called "Duplicator" or "All in One WP Migration" on your website. This will allow me to create a copy of your website and content. Once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local website. Let me know if this works for you. IMPORTANT Please make a backup copy of the site files and database before giving us access. - If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields, this means your post and site login details are being made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details if you do not see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link

jamesS-53	Hello, I was able to resolve the events not appearing in Spanish by removing the custom URL that someone created in Permalinks. They had index.php in the path, which caused the 404 error pages. I switched it to Post name and everything worked as expected.
