Get my 'Special Events' page back in my navigation menu?

[Anonymous]

I have several similar sites using EME for special event listings and has been working fine for years… up until I updated from version 1.6.21

Upon reading this:

“Upon first activation of the plugin, a new wordpress page is created (typically called “Events”). That page is very special. Don’t change it, don’t use it in your menu’s, don’t delete it. Just make sure the EME setting called “Events page” points to this page. EME uses this page to render any and all event or location info, bookings, maps, …. anything. So again: don’t touch it, don’t use it in your menu’s, don’t delete it.”

I realized that I have altered or deleted (can’t recall which) the ‘Events’ page and created a ‘Special Events’ page for my event listings. This has worked in the past.
For example I have not updated this site’s plug-in
http://barcadebrooklyn.com/

Here’s an site where I updated the EME plug-in:

The page itself still works
http://barcadenewyork.com/special-events/

but it has disappeared from the navigation menu on top.(I have gotten around this temporarily by creating an “Upcoming Events” page that links back to the ‘special-events’ page.)

Any help to get this sorted would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Just create a new page and point EME to use that as special Events page in the EME settings.
Then change your current page called special-events to have the layout you want using shortcodes, placeholders, templates, … I’m guessing in your case just using [eme_events] on that page might already do what you want.
Just as FYI: that warning to not use the special events page in your menu has been in the doc from almost day 1, and also in the EME settings it is mentioned …

Thanks Franky! That did the trick! Not sure why it should work that way but as long as it works.

Cheers,
