3.5 Freezes Out Admin Area

I’m having the same issue. Maybe some other details I found can help both Jared & I:

I’ve noticed that when I do refresh the admin area (/wp-admin) that there is MySQL activity related to the events plugin. It looks like it is re-entering all events and details of events into _postmeta or something like that. Every-time I refresh wp-admin I notice the post_id value’s going higher.

I’m sitting here refreshing it, waiting for it to time out again, refreshing it, waiting for it to time out… hopefully that it’ll eventually get through whatever ‘maintenance’ work it is doing. Hoping it is maintenance work. Either-way, same situation. Locked out of wp-admin but my site loads fine.

Will post a few example queries I’ve grabbed as private.

Another reason I think it’s some kind of maintenance killing the admin area, I see this field getting constantly updated as it works its way through:

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = ‘1396284358’ WHERE option_name = ‘tribe_last_save_post’

Marco & Jared
Were both of you upgrading from 3.4.1, or were you coming from a previous version?

I came to the forums for this very issue. I just upgraded. I can’t access half of my admin area, none of the settings, etc. White screen of Death!

Jared- Upgrading from 3.4.1. I’ve even downgraded back to 3.4.1 and attempted to upgrade again from it a few times. I get the same shenanigans in MySQL (which ultimately leaves me with thousands of duplicated events when I downgrade again).

Blakemiller – If it’s the same issue (admin area inaccessible but website fine) I would recommend downgrading until they can resolve the problem.

I also came to the forum with this issue. I had the free version installed, but wanted the recurring events ability. I bought the PRO – personal version today & when I installed it (version 3.5) it froze everything in my admin area. The site was still up & viewable, but any attempt at movement in the admin area was dead. I had to delete the plugin folder completely from my ftp. I installed 3.4 and it seemed to work, but gives a warning across the bottom of the admin screen about line 779 relating to recurring events. Attempts to upgrade from 3.4 to 3.5 appear to work, but when you try to move from the confirmation screen to do anything else in the admin panel after, it freezes up again.

I’m on the newest version of wordpress and don’t know what to do! Is there a plugin that this commonly conflicts with?

Disabling all the plugins proved helpful in being able to move from the activation screen, but after, when I tried to reactive the free version (which they say you need activated for the add-on to function) it freezes again.

I found with 3.4 that 2 warnings I was getting at the bottom of the events admin screen related to line 799 of events-calendar-pro.php which reads:

// load the dialog
require_once( TribeEvents::instance()->pluginPath.’admin-views/recurrence-dialog.php’ );
}

I looked in the downloaded folders for both 3.4 & 3.5 and neither have this php file in them. I’m running out of options and really need this to work. Any other suggestions?
