Remove duplicates plugin results in Internal Server Error

[ttem]

I just upgraded to 3.5.2 pro which generated 1000’s of dupe events.
Now trying to remove with The Events Calendar – Cleanup Recurrence Duplicates plugin. After run awhile it generates server error 500
Here’s error log entries:
mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 120 seconds, referer: …/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tribe_events&page=tribe-events-calendar
Premature end of script headers: edit.php, referer: …/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tribe_events&page=tribe-events-calendar

Any fix for this or other method for removing the dupes?
Thanks

Hi – we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

It sounds like perhaps its simply running out of time due to the volume of events that need to be merged: can you try re-running it a few times?

Thanks, Barry I have run it several times with same error.

Thanks for persevering with it! Is it making any difference to the actual number of duplicates? If so, I would persevere with it and keep running it until they are all removed.

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
