Please see the thread on the previous topic, “Calendar’s memory use crashing server,” about the change from wp-cron to server cron jobs. Please review and let me know your recommendation. It does seem possible that the disabling of the wp-cron is related to the problems we’re having, although that’s usually not the case, according to the ticket.
Using our test site to try to answer your question about whether there’s an issue with new events set up (with recurring settings not working), I used our test site to set up a daily recurring test event.
I am attaching screen shots so you can see the results.
The event was set up to recur daily for 4 months, but the plug-in has created events through March 15, 2018.
Whatever else happens, I won’t know until tomorrow whether the plug-in adds one more day to the schedule for this event.
I am attaching screen shots so you can see the settings and results.
I also can set you up as an admin for the site if you send me a user ID and email address.
I have the calendar and pro installed on 28 websites and have been using both plug-ins daily for several years, so I’m very familiar with all the settings and how they are supposed to work. I am seeing these 2 issues on all 28 websites and am getting complaints from clients, so please look deeper.
Specifically
The calendar has always auto generated recurring events in advance based on the setting in General Settings, but has stopped doing that.
The calendar is now listing as “exceptions” recurring events that have passed.
We have installed all recent updates and tested for conflicts. We are not finding conflicts.
Please respond ASAP with a solution. Thank you for your assistance.
I have gone through the troubleshooting (altho theme Twenty Sixteen is no longer available; I used Twenty Seventeen).
All plug-ins except yours were disabled.
I am attaching a screen shot showing that the plug-in is listing each past event as a one-time exclusion. I’m seeing this on other sites in other networks. It’s a separate issue, but another one that is causing our clients a LOT of extra work.
Same issue, with more information. Looking at one recurring event that is not being generated correctly (it stops in December 2017, although it’s set to never end), I went to edit it and found multiple instances of exceptions to the event in the Dashboard. I have seen this on other sites as well. Screen shot attached.
As I make my way through site updates, I am finding other sites with the same issue. I am attaching a screen shot. You can see that recurring events stop mid-month (for Sundays, it’s obvious).
Will the solution you suggest have any impact on calendar performance? For example, when our clients are creating or updating recurring events, will that process hang?
We had to revert to 4.3.4 because of a very serious and inconvenient bug in later versions — the pro version wipes out the settings for a recurring event whenever it’s edited. Because most of our listings are for recurring events, this is not a problem we can live with.
I’m seeing this problem with the wrong previous/next listings on calendars on several sites on different networks.
For now, I need a way to get rid of those breadcrumbs.
