Event count in the 6 digits

[tunatraffic]

Hello, I know you are already aware of the bug which is re-importing all the events. I read this thread: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/duplicate-events-in-google-calendar-import-since-4-5-9/ which hinted at a bulk deletion tool. This would be extremely helpful.

One of our sites is going down frequently because the templates are trying to go through 195k events. We had the settings at hourly imports and there were over 500 events importing each time. We tried using the Bulk Delete plugin, but that only gets through about 5 before it times out. We’re currently testing the Event Rocket plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-rocket/), which seems to be working, but it will delete all the other settings. And I’m hesitant to use it on a live site since it hasn’t been updated in 2 years and is unsupported. At this point though, we have no choice.

Please let us know if you’ve created a bulk deletion tool. This is an urgent issue for us.

Thank you!
Emma

What’s up, Mike! It’s Cliff!

There isn’t a “bulk/duplicate delete” solution for the problem that Event Aggregator created, but we could maybe create one.

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/duplicate-events-in-google-calendar-import-since-4-5-9/#post-1334785 stated that all of the duplicates are lacking an assigned author. Is this something you’re noticing as well? And are there any other trends you’re noticing to identify which events are or are not duplicates?

Please note that Event Rocket does not have deduplication functionality. It’s “cleanup” functionality is the “nuclear” option to delete all data… and it’d likely throw “deprecated” errors.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
