Reoccurring-Inconsistent Behavior Same issue, it's creating thousands of events.

[Jay]

Hello, I’m having the same issue as greg below:

I had a problem with reoccurring events multiplying over days until there were sometimes a dozen instances per day. (This issue added thousands of extraneous events to the listing.) I tried to edit the rules and exclusions, but the controls didn’t appear, so I manually deleted all these events.

Now, the system isn’t replicating reoccurring events properly. Instead of displaying an instance in 2 days, it only displays the first day, even though the 2nd instances is in the Events listing. For events that occur multiple days over multiple weeks, the event is only being displays for a single day over multiple weeks.

I’ve tried editing, deleting and re-entering, but I can’t get this to work. It’s taken up much of my time this weekend. I’d really appreciate some support so I can get these events site content correctly displayed, and attend to other content.

Thanks

I would like to switch my plugin to the ical importer because I’ve spent too long on this today.

My site is live and I don’t have time to duplicate it and figure out what’s causing the conflict at this point (by deactivating the plugins etc.)

Hi Greg, so sorry for the trouble here!

About half an hour ago we published version 4.2.2.1 of Events Calendar PRO—this includes a fix for these issues.

Please try updating to this version of Events Calendar PRO (while making sure that your version of The Events Calendar is up-to-date at version 4.2.2, as well).

This should prevent the problem from happening again. If you have many instances of recurring events that you want to delete, I’d recommend searching for a free “bulk deletion” plugin on WordPress.org. There are many options—choose one that looks right to you, and it should help with the process of deleting many events at a time.

Let us know if the update helps!

Thank you,
Geoff
