Redirect event to a different page?

Hi,

We have a large scale education event that we want to have a full page dedicated to. I've found that event pages have significantly less customization options than standard pages, so I'm hoping to redirect an event URL to its own page. That way, the event still shows up in our Events tab, but has a more in depth page. I've tried going into Settings > Advanced > URL Mapping and entering this:

/events/wild-fest -> /wild-fest 301

but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. How can I make this work? The main website is https://nocowildlife.org.

Hey Michela,

I'm trying to do a very similar thing. Very limited customization on the event page so I would like to link it to its own page. Can you please provide a quick run down of what the process is. Is it tedious to do for every event, should this be an event platform?

Cheers,

Saif

It works if wild-fest doesn't exist

You can edit Wild Fest event > Add a Code Block > Paste this code

<script>
window.location.href = "/wild-fest";
</script>

 

Thank you!

I don't quite understand why the above worked, but it did. I didn't change anything about the Wild Fest main page, just added this to the event page. Now it redirects and still shows up on the calendar.
