We have a custom WordPress theme running on WordPress 3.4.2 and are running into some problems with our Permalink settings and a particular calendar plugin we're using on our website. Our website is somewhat non-traditional in the sense that all of our Posts are located within a section of the website called /news-events/ (e.g. www.domain.com/news-events/).
Currently, we are using the following custom permalink structure: /news-events/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ to match the location of our Posts. We have created about 30 websites from this template using this permalink format without any issues.
However, the calendar plugin (The Events Calendar Pro 2.0.10) we're using on this particular site requires the Permalink structure to be /%postname%/. When the permalink structure is set to anything other than /%postname%/, any calendar events pages return 404 pages. Unfortunately, setting our Permalink structure to /%postname%/ is not a viable option for us as it's imperative for us to keep the /news-events/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/.
The Question:
Is it possible to set the overall WordPress Permalinks to /%postname%/ while customizing the Permalink structure for Posts, Archives, and Categories to /news-events/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/? Put another way: how can we change the Permalink structure to /news-events/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ ONLY when a Post, Category, or Archive is being viewed?
The following pages provided some useful information, however, it seems we'd need to do the opposite of what's described: http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/custom-post-type-permalinks http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/custom-post-type-permalinks-part-2
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
