Events Calendar 3.0 – Event Count Not Accurate

[Tim Stringer]

Since upgrading to Events Calendar 3.0 I’ve notice that the Events count on the main Events page is no longer accurate. The counts currently read as follows:

All (10) | Published (7) | Drafts (3)

…but it should read:

All (8) | Published (7) | Drafts (1)

Is anyone else seeing this issue? Is this an Events Calendar 3.0 bug, or could it be that my database has become corrupted. Thanks in advice for any suggestions you have to pass along.

I certainly haven’t seen it so far on my test installations or a number of other folks installs – but that isn’t to say it’s not a very real problem.

Do you have any items in the trash (and did you upgrade directly from 2.0.11 or were you already using a copy of 3.0 beta)?

Thanks for your response, Barry. I upgraded directly from 2.0.11 and didn’t use 3.0 before yesterday (i.e. I never installed the beta). And I don’t have any items in the Trash.

I experimented with this a bit – including creating a new event, putting it in the Trash and emptying the Trash…but the Drafts count still reads “3” even though there is currently only one draft.

Do you think this could indicate a database corruption of some sort? I’m a little nervous moving forward with Event Calendar 3.0 if this might be the case and may revert to my Events Calendar 2 backup if this can’t be resolved soon.

I ended up restoring a backup and reverting to Events Calendar 2.0.11 in the process. The event count is now displaying correctly…which confirms that the count got thrown off either during or after the upgrade to Events Calendar 3.0. I’m going to stick with 2.0.11 for now and will revisit the upgrade to 3.0 once the dust settles.

Sure thing – and if it crops up again (when/if you do make the jump) please just let us know and we can take another look.
