Hi, I have made a lot of courses with titles containing Norwegian characters (æ,ø,å). As a consequence of this, my event ID’s gets messed up and events can’t be called with the [SINGLEEVENT]-shortcode. For instance: “å” is displayed as: “%c3%a”.
Is there an easy way to edit the ID’s without messing with the database tables/resubmitting all the events?
May I add that ALL of my event titles contain special characters (only “æ”, “ø”, “å” though), and since there are a lot of them, I hope there is a workaround for this so I don’t have to submit all my events from scratch.. :)
Thank you!

Update:
I am building a conditional event-displayer with Gravity Forms.
Using the shortcode inside GF’s html block gives me a message saying the event is expired or no longer available. When I’m using the shortcode on a regular page it says that the event has reached the maximum number of attendees, allthough there are zero attendees.
Could this be related to the event id or is it likely to be something else?

Update 2:
I tried making a new event without the special characters in the title, which works, so it’s got to be the event ID messing things up..

Hi there,
We have an alternative shortcode that you can use instead of SINGLEEVENT that uses the numeric event ID instead that you can try:

Not sure what might be causing the Gravity Forms issue though. It may be that there is an issue with the shortcode being parsed within another shortcode.

Thank you, Josh, I didn’t notice that.
I do have to use a link to the registration page anyway, because a form inside of a form (Gravity Form) is, off course, not valid HTML

You’re welcome. That’s a good idea to place a link to the reg form inside the other form. Here is another idea that might work for your use case too:

Thank you, Josh! I actually thought of implementing automatic redirection myself. Didn’t know GF could do it that easy though, I was thinking of using Javascript..
I’ll mark this one as resolved :)
