The Events Calendar - Link points to (/?:month|monat|miesic|....)

Overview of the issue

If you are using The Events Calendar plugin, you may encounter issues with event calendar links redirecting incorrectly, displaying patterns like (/?:month|monat|miesic|…).

Workaround

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

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

  /*
  *  WPML Workaround for compsupp-6815 (updated version for compsupp-7184)
  */
  add_filter( 'tribe_rewrite_canonical_url', 'wpml_compsupp6815_resolve_missing_urls', 10, 3 );
   
  function wpml_compsupp6815_resolve_missing_urls( $resolved, $url, $object ) {
   
      if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) {
          $wpml_default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
          $wpml_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
           
          // Let's register the calendar strings so we can translate and use in the workaround
          if ($wpml_default_lang == $wpml_current_lang ) {
  
              $tec_options = get_option('tribe_events_calendar_options'); 
              $events_slug = $tec_options['eventsSlug'];  
              $single_events_slug = $tec_options['singleEventSlug']; 
                     
              do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', 'the-events-calendar', 'TEC Calendar Slugs: '.substr($events_slug, 0, 20), $events_slug);
              do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', 'the-events-calendar', 'TEC Calendar Slugs: '.substr($single_events_slug, 0, 20), $single_events_slug );
               
              foreach ($tec_options['tribeEnableViews'] as $calendar_string) {
                  do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', 'the-events-calendar', 'TEC Calendar Slugs: '.substr($calendar_string, 0, 20), $calendar_string);
              }
          }
   
          // Check if the URL is not resolved yet. If not, we will resolve it with the translated strings
          if ( preg_match( '#(/?:([^)]+))#',  $resolved ) ) {
   
              $resolved = preg_replace_callback( '#(/?:([^)]+))#', function($matches) use ($url) {
                  $options = explode('|', trim($matches[0], '/(?:)'));
                   
                  $slug = $options[0];                    
   
                  $translated_slug = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $slug , 'the-events-calendar', 'TEC Calendar Slugs: '.substr($slug, 0, 20) );
   
                  // Only apply the translation if the string already exists in the URL. If not, replace with the original. This may avoid possible 404 errors
                  if (in_array(strtolower($translated_slug), $options) && $translated_slug != '') {
                      $slug = $translated_slug;
                  } 
   
                  return $slug;
   
              }, $resolved );
  
              // Check if there are parameters in the final result and correct the first "&" to "?"
              if (strpos($resolved, '&') !== false && strpos($resolved, '?') === false) {
                  $resolved = preg_replace('/&/', '?', $resolved, 1);
              }
          }
      }
   
      return $resolved;
  }
  

• Then, go to Settings > Permalinks and resave your permalinks.
