Path: WordPress Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks (scroll to the SportsPress section)
​

Permalink settings for SportsPress are found on the standard WordPress Settings → Permalinks page, not inside the SportsPress settings screens. A SportsPress-specific section appears at the bottom of that page.
​

SportsPress requires that WordPress is not set to the "Plain" permalink structure. The Plain structure (which produces URLs like /?p=123) prevents scheduled future events from displaying correctly on the frontend.
​

Any other structure works. Recommended options:
​

After changing the WordPress permalink structure, click Save Changes even if you make no other changes. This "flushes" the rewrite rules and resolves most 404 errors on SportsPress pages.
​

Troubleshooting 404 errors: If SportsPress pages return "Page Not Found" after installing, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes without changing anything. This re-registers all rewrite rules.
​

Each SportsPress post type and taxonomy has a default URL slug. The slug is the segment that appears in the URL between the domain and the individual post name. For example, with the default event slug an event URL looks like: https://example.com/event/match-name/.
​

You can change any slug to match your language, avoid conflicts with other plugins, or better suit your site structure. Enter the new slug in the text field and click Save Changes on the Permalinks page.
​

After changing any SportsPress slug, click Save Changes to flush rewrite rules. If you skip this step the old URLs will continue to work but new ones may return 404 errors.
​

Sponsors do not have a configurable permalink slug in this section; their URLs use the standard WordPress post slug.
