500 Error after updating recurring events

How should I go about solving that issue?

I did try to switch to a default theme (twentyseventeen); however, my dashboard threw 500 errors when I treid to access it. I had to change my theme back in the database for it to work again. I tried turning off all the plugins but that didn’t change anything, I still got the error.

Here is a screenshot of my settings: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iuk08ojmgjxcgtx/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-11%20at%2011.49.08%20AM.png?dl=0

Sorry about that. Here is a link to a screenshot of the meta content.

I was able to switch to a default theme (twentyseventeen). However, I’m still getting the 500 error with all plugins deactivated. Here is the stack trace:

Victor,
Thanks for your reply. To answer your question, yes I’m getting the error when updating that particular event.

I did what you suggested, and I’m not getting the error locally when I’m in a default environment on fresh WP and Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro install.

What are the next steps in fixing my site that doesn’t operate under such conditions?

Thanks!
