Here are the hook names for the cron jobs for The Events Calendar according to WP Crontrol. None of these have any arguments.

– tribe_aggregator_process_insert_records
– tribe_events_pro_process_recurring_events
– tribe_trash_event_cron
– tribe_del_event_cron
– tribe-recurrence-cron

Query Monitor shows a few slow queries, and they are all for The Events Calendar. See a few of the queries below:

Hi,

The settings page for the plugin already has the cache month view enabled. The website also uses WP Super Cache in expert mode with preloading enabled.

There are about 5600 events, with the oldest event occurring on September 1, 2017. We regularly delete events more than a year old to keep the database clean.

Below is the system information that you asked for.

András,

I backed up the database then used WP Crontrol to delete the cron. We’ll monitor it for a bit to make sure recurring events are still created. Thanks.

[Brad Mitchell]

[Brad Mitchell]

I installed the WP Crontrol plugin to see all cron events for the site. The “tribe_63556_task” event runs hourly.

I found another post at https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/hundreds-of-events-created-for-each-day-of-recurring-event-how-can-i-delete/ that mentions this event. It’s not clear exactly what it does, but it’s some type of cleanup event. Is it needed? Can the event be optimized to use less resources?

[Brad Mitchell]

I upgraded to the latest version of the pro plugin that was released yesterday. I compared queries using the Query Monitor plugin before and after upgrading. I no longer see the expensive query previously mentioned, so this appears to have been resolved. Please confirm.

In my case, we only want the event to be one day long and occur every week for three weeks. If I set the end date to 3/26/2017 it now appears on the day view for 3/12/17, but shows as an event lasting more than one day. If the start and end date are the same with recurrence rules for every week for three weeks after the end date, the event no longer appears on the day view for 3/12/17, which is wrong.

[Brad Mitchell]

I noticed the same problem on a client’s site. I compared events that displayed versus those that didn’t.

In my situation, the start and end date for events that didn’t appear in day view were in the past. They had recurrence rules for instances on a later date then the end date.

For example, the start and end date for an event were both set to 3/5/2017, but had three “Date” type recurrence rules with the last one being on 3/26/2017. Once I updated the end state to match the latest recurrence rule, the event displayed on the day page for 3/12/17.

[Brad Mitchell]

[Brad Mitchell]

The site has 4600 events and 1200 posts.

There aren’t any additional/custom fields setup through the Events Calendar.

[Brad Mitchell]

A screenshot of the query and locations is attached.

[Brad Mitchell]

The SQL query is in my first post on this thread.

[Brad Mitchell]

Correct, all events are displaying. If it begins and ends on the same day, it should show up, but if it does not begin and end on the same day, it should not show up.
