Delete Duplicated Events

[Michael]

After the problem with the Event aggregator I have 27500 Events entries now. After re-importing the google calender (150 Events) I still see all the duplicated (multiplicated) ones.

I the backend I was only able to delete 20 entries with one click. Is there a way to delete all entries at once?

Hi Michael

I’m so sorry about that. That has to be super frustrating. There are a few plugins to help with bulk deleting custom post types, like our Events. https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/bulk+delete/

If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

You can suggest it it http://tribe.uservoice.com.

Thanks

Hello,

thank you for your reply. It took me now some hours to delete all the entries. But I have the problem that import from Google Calendar is not working. Now your tool is ignoring the imported events and still creates a lot of duplicates (over 22000 altough we have only 150).

I did all the updates but something is still broken. Can you advise how I get my calendar working properly again?

Thank you

Michael

Hi Michael!

Let me help you with this issue while Courtney is away today.

I’m really sorry you are still getting duplicate events from Google.

Could you please share with us the Google Calendar URL you are importing from? We will run some tests on our end to see what could be causing the duplicates.

When coming back, please also share with us you system information by following this guide > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Thanks,
Victor

Hi Michael

I just got back from my family vacation and saw this update was launched today: https://theeventscalendar.com/the-events-calendar-4-5-12-1/ and see that this post contains a way to better delete these duplicates. Can you give it a spin and let me know how it goes?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hi Courtney,

thanks for asking. I installed the latest version but have the problem now that more than 22000 entrys are in the “ignored” container and only two are displayed on the website. I posted the link to the google calender I am using. Somehow there is still an issue with importing it.

Thanks for your help

Hi Michael

When I tested your import, I only saw 151 entries. Did you run our delete duplicates plugin mentioned in that post? If so, did it clear out the duplicates on your site?

Can you send a screenshot of the error on those 22000 entries being ignored? I’ll be sure to send that along to our devs.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hi Courtney,

I tried the Plugin to remove the duplicates. Somehow this did not deleted the duplicates in the “ignored” part. I also cannot remove them with the Bulck Delete Plugin.

When I do the import, events show up randomly and only a few are displayed.

I do not know how to proceed because I cannot delete the 22000 ignored entries manually…

What other options do I have?

Kind Regards

Michael
