Large set of reoccurring events on 3.5 upgrade – wp-admin won't load.

[Sindy]

I’m unable to login to wp-admin after 3.5 upgrade.

Activity in MySQL implies that it is performing some kind of maintenance on recurring posts. Looking at changelog, maybe it’s the process of converting each recurrence to have its own postID?

It’s been hours. I just keep refreshing and watch it go through posts until i get bad gateway ( i guess php times out? ).

What’s going on? :\ What can I provide for someone to look into this? Please see private post below.

I finally gave up and rolled back to 3.4 — there is like 4,000 duplicates of one event there now. it’s going to take me forever to delete them all. sigh.

Marco,
We have a couple of other users reporting a similar issue. We’ve tasked one of our developers with investigating this issue more closely, so stay tuned as we’ll update you here when we have more information.

Thanks! 🙂

Marco,
From our developer:

the update process is timing out (since we’ve re-worked how recurring events function), but we make it more robust so that, when it does time out, the user can just refresh the admin several times until it finishes.

Our developer has provided a patch that we’d like for you to test out in your local environment to see if it resolves the issues you’re having. Just replace events-pro/lib/tribeeventspro-schemaupdater.php with this file then try refreshing your admin several (possibly many) times to see if the issue goes away.

Please respond back here as soon as you’ve had a chance to test this out, as we’ll be pushing out a hotfix ASAP. Thanks! 🙂

Hi Casey – Thank you!!
I replied in the other post as well but just in case someone catches this post:

Hi Casey & Devs
At nearly over 5000 recurring events it took a while but was ultimately successful! It did take quite a few refreshes. 🙂 But not complaining – I’m very excited it worked!!

Thanks again for the quick turn-around time!

Awesome! Thanks for confirming that this got you sorted. Since it looks like you’re all set, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cheers,
Casey
