error 404 for posts turned into events

Hi, on a website classic posts were used to advertise events, now with an update to the website I wanted to migrate the classic posts to the “event” post type.

To do this I used the plugin:

https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/post-type-switcher/

used several times in other projects.

Once the posts have been converted to “event” if I try to open the event I get a 404 error However, I noticed that if I open the single event and click on save, the event is displayed correctly.

Now the problem is that there are several posts and I can’t do this for every single post.

I tried using the wordpress bulk editor but it doesn’t work, it only works if I open the single post and save it.

I would like to understand why this happens and how I can fix it I also tried adding dates through this snippet but it doesn’t work.

 update_post_meta( $post_id, '_EventStartDate', '2022-12-31' );
            update_post_meta( $post_id, '_EventEndDate', '2022-12-31' );

I ran several tests like saving permalinks, rewriting permalinks, different wordpress environments/installations tested. it therefore seems that the problem is not related to the permalinks but to something that is saved when the post is saved.
