I got to the bottom of the problem. I manage the website for a large Catholic church. Our parish admin. wants our daily mass times (2 per day) and weekend masses (5 per weekend) posted on the Calendar. The Calendar settings were creating events 12 months out and keeping 12 months back. We had 1700+ events in our database. WordPress was breaking a major sweat. I changed the settings on the Events Calendar to only backlog recurring events 1 month and project 2 months out making sure all recurring events outside those boundaries were deleted. Now we have no more than 350 events on the site. Things are loading tremendously faster. I’ve learned I need to be more hawkish about the Calendar database. To make sure i didn’t break the recurring events, I did “Edit Upcoming” on each first occurrence for last month, then deleted the the old series starting on it’s old origin date. Not completely necessary but it allowed me to eliminate more recurring events. Fresh start. Thanks for putting up with my gripes. I love your plugin and I’m excited to integrate ticketing.

I’m still having issues with The Events Calendar lagging big time on our site. It was causing the entire site to lag, even pages that didn’t have an Events short code. Not just that, it was causing our page publishing to lag and half the time I would get 404 errors from simply trying to publish. When I disabled all Modern Tribe plugins, our site returned to normal functionality. I enabled the plugins one at a time, Events Calendar, Events Calendar Pro and Ticketing. The biggest culprit appears to be the free Ticketing plugin. I disabled it all together, which bums me out. I’d like to go to the pro version to do event registrations with the advanced form features. With just Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro running, any page with a Calendar Short Code takes about 10-15 sec. to load as opposed to pages that don’t, which only take a few seconds. The Calendar itself takes 10 seconds to switch from one month to the next. I’m at a point where I think I need to go a different direction all together for our webpage calendar. Pretty frustrated.

Hi Cliff,

All of our plugins are up to date. We’re running Avada, Theme Fusion. We’re a church and we were in the middle of Holy Week when EventsCalendar went kapoot. Disabling everything and reverting to Word Press Twenty Seventeen was not an option for us. The lag stopped after I disabled all Modern Tribe plugins. We currently don’t have the TheEventsCalendar running at this time. We may be able to strip down and troubleshoot according to your recommendations during a low traffic time now that we’re past Easter.

Thanks Nick. Flushing the permalinks did not help. I downloaded older versions and installed them. It’s working the way it should. Peace, Greg

Just flushed the permalinks structure and no go. Still not following my custom slug.

Had to deactivate our Modern Tribe Plugins to get our Portfolio summary page, /events/, back. Bummer.
