maximum events in dbase

[Ludo Geukers]

Hello,

Is there a maximum of events that we can import into the dbase of the events calendar with this aggregator?

Hope to hear!

Hi Wim!

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

We do not limit the amount of events you can import with Event Aggregator. We do limit the amount of imports you make per day depending on the Event Aggregator license you have.

You can learn how this limit works here > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/event-aggregators-import-limits-work/

I hope that helps! 🙂

Cheers!

Hello Victor,

This was not my question. I know you can have 100 import per day or 1000 imports per day, depending on the licence one takes.

My question is different if you read it again.
Example. On a ptoject we have imported about 9000 events and now we have noticed that suddenly the events don’t load anymore. So the question is: how many events can be loaded in the dbase. Is there a limit in WordPress? Or must we be able to go on endlesly?

We noticed that the problems disappeared after deleting 1000 events in the dbase.
That’s why we think there is maybe a limit to the number of entries in a WordPress dbase?

Hope to hear again!

Hi Wim!

There is no limit in the amount of events that can be loaded into WordPress. This is the same with any WordPress post type.

But, bear in mind that in terms of performance the more events you have, the costlier it gets to fetch events from your database.

Having 9000 events is a very big number, so that could probably be the cause of events not loading anymore due to the server reaching resources limit. If you enable WP_DEBUG, you can see if you are getting those errors.

We have a good article about performance considerations you should know about > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/performance-considerations/

After that, if you decide to implement a caching system then you can move to these articles: Caching: What, when and how and Caching month view HTML in transients

Finally, there is a good article George put up here that groups a set of developer plugins. It’s a bit more technical than the others but will definitely be of help if you are into development.

I hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

Best!
Victor
