Recurring Events only publishing the First Day (reposts)

[Barry]

OK – unless I’m misreading there is still at least one potentially large difference, in that the themes are not the same. From the live site info you just posted:

THEME
Flavor- VMS

In the test site info (also from your most recent post) I see:

THEME
Flavor

I’m not sure what the actual difference between those might be but clearly there are some differences here and that could be throwing this process off track to a degree.

What I was hoping was to see if by introducing exactly the same stack of plugins/themes in the test site the same problem would occur there, too. It might not be practical to follow that path and I can totally appreciate that – at the same time, this is not a widespread problem that many in the community are facing and I think we may be running out of avenues to explore here.

One final route we might look at is creating a fresh installation in the same environment as the live site (unless you can repurpose your test site for this, but I’m guessing you will want those to remain separate) – build the new site up so it has the same stack of plugins and theme and, assuming as with the test site the same problem doesn’t occur there, start pulling across the data via WordPress and its import/export tools.

Would that be viable? Regrettably, I’m not sure there is much more we can put forward here.

Flavor-VMS is simply a child theme where I added an ad rotation shortcode to header.php, a few custom text shortcodes in functions.php and one color change to style.css of the theme. I simply forgot to activate the child theme on the test site. And those alterations were made within the last. When the problem with recurring events started it was on a completely different theme.

But it makes no difference, even after activating the child theme with identical files, the test site install Events Calendar is still able to generate the recurring days in the database while the live site doesn’t.

Other than the fact that the live site has 1500 posts and nearly 1300 events vs just a handful on the test site, both the live and test installs are structured the same.

Thankfully recurring events aren’t something I use too frequently, but I miss the convenience.

I definitely appreciate that. Given this isn’t a problem any other users have reported (that I’m aware of) and neither of us can replicate outside of this one installation, I wonder what is actually causing it.

Are the actual hosting environments different? Can you create a new WP installation in the same environment as the live site (ie, in a subdirectory) and does the same thing happen there?

To be honest, I’m not sure how many other avenues there are for us to explore here.

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread (and so it will no longer be monitored by staff). If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
