Admin panel slow

[Michael]

I’m on version 2.0.3 and when I click on “Events” and then “All events” in the left navigation, it pretty much “crashes” my WordPress install. The page just sits grinding away and nothing happens and the rest of the pages are slow. Loading the front-end calendar/event pages works fine until I try to access the admin panel.

Hey Michael. This is a bizarre issue; are you sure there isn’t a conflict with your theme or another plugin at play here? Would be great if you were in a position where you could test deactivation of other plugins (and the theme, if necessary) to identify whether there’s a conflict at play. Let me know wat that yields up and we can keep troubleshooting as needed from there.

My hosting company is saying that there are “excessive” mySQL queries being executed, which is also crashing the rest of the system. We have several recurring events that go until like 2030 (we don’t want them to end). Could that be an issue?

Hey Michael. That configuration you’ve got definitely sounds like it could be an issue; while events can technically be scheduled to recur that far out we haven’t found most users do so, which would explain why this event hadn’t really come up before.

Are you in a position where you can test cutting those down (having the end in 2015, for example) to see if that resolves the issue? If you can confirm as much, I can see what the team can do to account for users with long-running events such as yours down the road.
