We’re bailing out guys. We found a plugin that is made for 12 step meetings and should work like we need. It has the map functionality and works just fine. Also, it’s free.
Can’t say this experience has made me a fan. This is my second time purchasing Events Calendar Pro with disappointing results. I know you guys try really hard but I always seem to have a use case that breaks your plugin.
I have to agree with Paul. The events calendar doesn’t seem to be optimized for performance at all. Given the price point, I think it should at least handle several thousand events. Since it uses the wp_posts and wp_postmeta there should be indexes on this.
My guess is that function to look up map points is slow and limited by Google. It’s really not made to look up that many points. The Events Calendar team should put in a cap on that call or just look up the first event in each recurring series.
I’ll probably be moving away from this and using a system like Time.ly to do what I need.
Okay, thanks for your help. Again, is there no way to limit the number of Geo lookups? Can you give me some insight into what is happening in that admin-ajax.php script? Seems like there should be some type of limit imposed that would make this an easy fix, right?
Seems like we may need to move to Time.ly or something more robust.
Okay, I’m having a few other people test it.
For me, the pages are still taking anywhere from 10-30 seconds to load. I’ve tested my network and have plenty of bandwidth and other pages on the site load just fine.
On the main event page, the basic page loads very quickly, but the ajax loading icon shows for at least 10-20 seconds.
See the screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ed1k92ughvo6yx2/Screenshot%202015-08-11%2011.04.44.png?dl=0 – 16 seconds for admin-ajax.php to load.It looks like its the tribe_geosearch that is really slowing things down:

WP Engine said they saw this taking a long time to complete as well. Is there something I should try to cut down load time on this?http://austinaa.wpengine.com/meeting/northland-group-small-room-4/2015-08-10/ took 17 seconds to load:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/p9c4sr5eqzzs69x/Screenshot%202015-08-11%2011.05.52.png?dl=0So yes, I see your pages loading fast but mine are still very slow. I can try cutting down the events to 2 or even 1 month recurring if need be.
Thanks,
JesseHey Kelly,
I think the event somehow got disassociated with Eventbrite somehow. I skipped to step 2 and just added a new event and it\’s now showing the ticket options.
We can close this thread. Thanks much.
JHey Kelly,
I’m having an issue with this event created via the Eventbrite plugin. Initially, the event was showing the eventbrite ticket iframe but it no longer is. I don’t recall changing this or turning it off. Is there some code I need to add to the my template to make this show up?

Okay, you are right. I calmed down a bit. I do agree that the plugin does what you say and you do offer good support. It’s only that this is the 3rd site that I’ve used this plugin on and on each one, I’ve run into issues and conflicts. Buying just before the 3.0 update didn’t help either. I had a site ready to go and then the 3.0 update came out and I had to spend another 2 days fixing and making updates. It was not pleasant.
The themer’s guide is really not that great in my opinion. Maybe I’m missing something but it’s basically one page that says to create a folder in a theme. My suggestion would be to have a demo that you could download that would more quickly get people up to speed. Better yet, A few demos that solve some of the most requested things people need. I’m often very confused on where to look for functions and code and maybe that’s on me.
The forum is pretty solid but again, I’m finding that things like adding a featured image to each event should just be done and be an option in the code, not something that I should have to hack together. I think for $65 a head plus other ad-ons, the team could make the plugin much more robust. For instance, why not have a basic color selector system for styling the plugin? Why are are the widgets so basic and have such limited formatting? Again, why would they not show an image of the event?I appreciate your help and wanted to give you some feedback. Thanks for your time.
In my sadness, I forgot to report the bug. There is an unclosed span around the date. You can clearly see in this event:
http://ascensionshows.com/show/rd-brede-galvanix-skyline/Hold the phone, tried to upgrade this site to the WordPress 3.6 and found that 1to1 hosting has some really stupid things in place. If you can tell me the answer to the question above, that would be great but I’m having to move the site to another WordPress installation.
Excellent. The problem really stems from the recent change of layout and image size for facebook events. Once old events clear out, the timeline banner size images will be the norm.
Not yet. I’ll ask them again. Thanks, I think you can close this thread now. Thanks for your help.

I’m not sure if you ever went to the page. If I log out of the site, then the event submission form shows up. Any reason this happen this way?
Word em up. Here’s what I ended up with last night: http://electricavenueatx.com/event/audien-kingdom-06-14
The top image utilizes the new Facebook image size 851×351. Once we get this issue resolved, I’m going to test to see if that size image exists and if it does, have a layout that uses that image size and if not, use the horizontal image. I’m basically mimicking the facebook layout style as well.I figured it out. Basically, there are still events with the old style image, those will cause the fatal error for the new code. The new style of facebook events have the timeline banner. Those use the new code that you sent me. I think you need to add soem code to test for both. Can’t post code here but I’m sure you get what I mean.
