Hi northpointe,
First off, nice site! I love the layout of the Events page–awesome work. 🙂
I’m sorry you’re hitting an issue here with performance on the back end while publishing events. That indeed sounds frustrating.
Are there by chance other processes that are running while publishing events? I know it can be a pain to try, but does the speed of publishing events improve when your other installed plugins are deactivated or when a default WordPress theme is activated?
Also, I’m curious how fast a typical single event publishes for you. Does it take a few seconds (as we’d expect it to), or do those push the border as well?
Lastly, what kind of a recurrence are you creating? Perhaps if you share your pattern with me, I can try to replicate it on my own site to see I experience a similar lag.
Let’s start there and see what we find. 🙂
Cheers!
Geoff
