Hey Todd,

Sorry to hear about this!

This morning we published version 4.2.2.1 of Events Calendar Pro—this should fix the issues you describe.

Try updating and let us know if it helps at all!

Thank you,
George

Thanks George, not pushed to my site yet – should I wait or download from your site? It did it again today replicating 2 events adding 6000 entries.

Thanks- Todd

Thanks for the follow up Todd and sorry to hear about the events havoc! I’m jumping in behalf of George who is out today.

If you don’t see the update notice in your site you can go ahead and perform a manual update. Also the 4.2.2.1 release notes explain how to remove incorrectly created event instances with a helper plugin.

Please give the update and clean up script a go and let us know about it,
Best,
Nico

Thanks for following-up here, Nico! Apologies for my outage, Todd.

Nico’s advice is solid, and I recommend the same pages he linked to–they’re quick reads that should fill you in on the bug that happened here, and provide a little cleanup plugin that one of our developers came up with. It should help clear out extraneous recurring event instances from before the bug was fixed.

Let us know how things go!
George
