# Can’t remove permalink prefix

 * I’m unable to remove the ‘events’ prefix from the calendar entries. I’ve attempted
   to change it via the hook ‘sc_event_rewrite’ but it isn’t working. My understanding
   is that it overwrites the rewrite post type argument and so setting ‘with_front’
   to true (from the plugin default of false) should remove this (my permalink structure
   has posts showing without a prefix and updating this after changing the hook 
   doesn’t work either). Have I done something wrong with this/misunderstood or 
   is it the plugin? I can, for example, change the ‘slug’ to anything and it’ll
   change the /events/ properly but I’m wondering if I can straight up remove it.
 * Thanks!
 * Tom

 * When you filter these values directly with code, you need to forcibly refresh
   the WordPress permalinks in the database for them to take effect.
 * The easiest and most reliable way to do this is by visiting Settings > Permalinks
   and simply saving the settings there.
 * Also, if you are using any caching plugins, you will need to flush the entire
   cache to make sure there are no collisions with Pages.
 * (It’s generally not advisable to remove the archive slug for performance reasons,
   but this filter exists in this spot for advanced use-cases where sites require
   this kind of flexibility.)
 * Give it a try, and hopefully it works as intended for you.

 * I tried this before creating the topic. I must’ve been unclear about this.

 * [@vervetom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vervetom/) could you show us 
   the exact code you’re using to make the change?

 * just use – if budddpresss
    `define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );`
 * after that go to premalinks and use %username%
