Fatal Error when installing plugin

[Stuart’s]

Hi there. I had both the Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro plugins installed and working fine on my locally hosted site. I was getting ready to start uploading the site to a live server for our testing phase and all of a sudden was receiving a “Fatal Error” message when logging into the site. I uninstalled both plugins as the error was referencing the Event Calendar plugin. The error message went away. When I went to re-install the plugin through wordpress, the error came up again when I went to activate it. Can you help me figure out why this is happening and what I can do to resolve the issue? The full error message I am receiving is below. I’ve also attached a screen shot showing the error message. Thanks in advance.

“Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of ‘100’ reached, aborting! in C:\Program Files\WAMP\wamp\www\sohsite\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\common\vendor\lucatume\di52\src\tad\DI52\Bindings\Resolver.php on line 339”

Hi, Stuart.

Sorry you’re experiencing this known bug.

I’ll mark this ticket as Pending Fix, which means this thread should receive a reply once the applicable fix has been released. I cannot guarantee when it will be fixed as it’s in the development team’s hands now. However, it should be released soon.

You might choose to downgrade to a previous version in the meantime.

I apologize for this issue and appreciate your understanding and patience.

Thanks for the update. Where can I access a previous version?

[Cliff]

You may obtain previous versions at https://theeventscalendar.com/my-account/downloads/

Just use the version number drop-down to choose the version you want.

You should delete the plugin that’s installed and then install this newly-downloaded .zip

Deleting The Events Calendar or its add-on plugins will NOT delete any of your data if you delete it via the WordPress plugin manager because that’s how we’ve decided to code our plugin.

FYI: deleting any plugin via FTP or cPanel’s File Manager (i.e. deleting just the files from the server) will also ensure a plugin gets deleted (if you delete the entire plugin folder) without removing any data from the database. This can sometimes be helpful to know in cases where a plugin does run an uninstall routine to delete data (again, our plugins do not run such a routine at this time and probably never will).

You can also see the difference when you click to delete a plugin, like this.
