Title: graphql 404 error Last modified: September 9, 2024 --- # graphql 404 error * Resolved [mintynz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mintynz/) * (@mintynz) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/graphql-404-error/) * After upgrading from EE 4.10.46 to 5.0.24, trying to set a venue for an event is producing “error updating event”. In the console, I see a 404 for: * [https://DOMAIN/virtualclinic/](https://DOMAIN/virtualclinic/)**graphql ** * The WordPress installation sits in a “virtualclinic” subfolder (as can be seen in the url) – I’m wondering if the link to graphql is hardcoded into the EE plugin and so it’s not looking in the subfolder that it should be. * Reverting to EE 4.10.46 (and its older UI with the Venue on the right side instead of in the main body) allows for updating the event as per usual. * I’ve tried switching to the WordPress 2024 theme and deactivating ALL other plugins, and I still get the same error. I’ve then also tried php 7.4, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4– all produce the same error. * What’s going on? Is it being in a subfolder that’s causing the issue?

I don’t get a 404 error for GraphQL although I can reproduce the same symptoms only with an error 500 returned. * We are currently investigating this and I just wanted to let you know that we’ve seen this thread. * In the meantime there is an option within Decaf to change to the legacy editor which should allow you to update the event(s). Go to Event Espresso -> Events- > Default Settings (tab) and change the ‘Activate Advanced Editor?’ option to‘ Legacy Editor’. * Thread Starter [mintynz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mintynz/) * (@mintynz) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/graphql-404-error/#post-18007313) * Really appreciate the response, Tony. I am going to try and move it to the root folder (I didn’t do the original site setup, which was many many years ago) and will report back on that. * Thread Starter [mintynz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mintynz/) * (@mintynz) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/graphql-404-error/#post-18016122) * Hey [@pebblo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pebblo/) , quick update in case it’s useful: - Used the excellent “Better Search Replace” plugin to replace all database instances of the subdirectory. - Moved the files to hosting root with Siteground’s file manager - EE 5.0.24 now works fine… no graphql error * Hope that helps with sorting other people dealing with similar issues! * Plugin Author [Tony Warwick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pebblo/) * (@pebblo) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/graphql-404-error/#post-18024402) * Thank you for posting the above, I’m glad you found a solution 🙂 * We’ve found the issue with the GraphQL requests and pushed an update out to fix this so subdirectories should work as expected in version 5.0.27+ * Any further issues just let us know. * Thread Starter [mintynz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mintynz/) * (@mintynz) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/graphql-404-error/#post-18029902) * Excellent – thanks [@pebblo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pebblo/) !
