Recurring Events

[Joanna]

Hi there,

I have been happily using your Pro plugin since November and it’s been great but just recently I have been having some problems with my calendar. I set up a lot of events in about February and until today have not really logged into my Word Press admin page for some months. My calendar has worked fine until a couple of days ago when I noticed three warnings had appeared at the top of the page:

Warning: key() expects parameter 1 to be array…
Warning: reset() expects parameter 1 to be array…
Warning: creating default object from empty value in…

(Please see screenshot attached).

I googled this etc and noticed that quite a few users had already logged this with you and you were working on it, so I was not concerned as it did not appear to be affecting the functionality of my calendar. However this morning, a load of events (number reduced to 7 events from between 20 to 40) have disappeared from my calendar. The events are missing from today and the rest of the year but strangely are not missing from yesterday or the days before.

I logged into Word Press and noticed that there was suddenly no option to add a new recurring event. I checked the plugins section and the Events Calendar Pro plugin had been deactivated (not by me) and it said it needed updating to version 4.2. I updated and then activated the Pro plugin and the recurrence options etc reappeared. However, the missing events have not reappeared.

I have gone to edit one of the events that I know to be missing and it contains the correct information and shows that the event is set to occur every week and never ends, so it should be appearing in the calendar (there is a long list of excluded dates that I did not add in but these are all from the past and I presume these have been automatically added so these old events are not shown on the calendar as my settings are set to clean up recurring events after one month).

This is all I know and I have no idea whether any of these issues or observations are connected. I am not sure what to try to sort this out so any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jo

Hey Joanna,

Thank you for reaching out and sorry to hear about the issues.

We’ve got a logged bug in regards to the ‘json_ld’ warnings you’re seeing, so I’ve added this thread to the report for the developers to reference while working towards a resolution. It should be out in the next maintenance release. In the mean time, you can either downgrade to version 4.1.4 or replace ‘define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);’ in your wp-config.php file with this:

ini_set(‘log_errors’,’On’);
ini_set(‘display_errors’,’Off’);
ini_set(‘error_reporting’, E_ALL );
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);

Should you choose to revert back to version 4.1.4 until we can get a fix, you can download prior versions of TEC here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/developers/

Previous versions of PRO can be downloaded here: https://theeventscalendar.com/my-account/downloads/

You’ll also need to update manually, instructions can be found here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/manual-updates/

In response to your second question, would you mind sending over a screenshot of the recurrence rules for an event that is showing signs of the issue? Additionally, what happens if you create a new event with the same recurring rules you have set up? Lastly, are you able to check your database to see if the events have been created, but for some reason aren’t displaying?

Thank you again and I look forward to resolving this with you. Have a good day!

Thanks so much for your patience while we worked on this!

Cheers,
Geoff
