Editing Recurring Events

[kdeganhart]

After I hit “update” to edit a recurring event the site begins to do its thing but then loads for quite some time before sending me to mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php which displays as a “page not found” on the front end of the site. The updates appear to post, and then I’m just routed to a funny place.

Hi kdeganhart,

Thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear you’re running into trouble. Let’s try to sort this one out together.

Are you able to go to your site’s Settings > Permalinks page? If so, please confirm those settings are correct and hit Update. That will sometimes help flush conflicting rewrite rules and solve something like this.

Let me know once you’ve done that and if everything is working as expected.

Cheers!
Geoff

I confirmed and saved the Permalinks page, and then I did it again. Still getting the same result. Thanks for your help so far.

Is it possible that the site is timing out while updating the other occurring events due to memory shortage? This redirect doesn’t occur when updating non recurring events.

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for giving the permalinks flush a shot!

Yeah, server memory was the next place I was going to go. Some web hosts will allow you to increase the memory limit on your current server. If that’s the case for you, here are some helpful links regarding how to do this:

• Here’s is how to upgrade WordPress’ memory limit, right from the WP Codex.
• Here is the PHP reference for modifying your php.ini memory limit. Sometimes this is necessary as well. Not all hosting plans allow you to edit the php.ini file, so you would need to consult with your provider on how to do it and if you need to switch plans. You might even ask them what the maximum allowed memory is for the current plan, and make sure you are already there.

I’m still really interested why an editing screen on the back end would redirect you to a 404 page on the front end. If increasing the memory limit doesn’t do the trick, I’d like to try reverting to the default TwentyThirteen theme and testing for theme/plugin conflicts. But let’s give the above a shot first, then move to testing for conflicts.

Cheers!

Hey Geoff,
That seems to have worked! It still takes some time to load, I assume because it is updating close to 60 events, but at the end of that I end up on the correct editing page. Thanks for your help.

Awesome, so glad that worked! Thanks for letting me know. I’m going to go ahead and close this thread out, but don’t hesitate to open a new one if you need anything else and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers!
Geoff
