Thank you we do very much appreciate the help and appreciate every case is different. I’m sure it’s very challenging to keep on top of the endless number of possible site configurations with WordPress for sure!
A couple of things to add since my last post. We have edited the Widget to remove the calendar function completely, so it only shows the list or events. This has helped a lot. Instead of slowing things down to 5.7 seconds it’s not around 3 seconds. Not ideal still but better.
Here is the full site information for you (just to confirm we have tested for compatibilities issues but even if TEC is the only plugin running, the speed issues still materialise as soon as the widget is used on the page.

4.1I’m quite surprised that your response is that we have too many events, as I’ve been following other threads where EC staff have said they have seen sites with over 10,000 events working just fine. On further investigation we have found that the issue lies with the Events Calendar widgets, and in particular the on that displays the month view calendar. We have this running on the homepage and with it active, the sever response time is 5.7 seconds. When we remove the widget it improves to under 2 seconds.So there seems to be an issue with your widgets and in particular the calendar view? I’ve seen threads going back 2-3 years with the same issues, so is it correct that you’ve still not got on top of this issue? Do you have any advice as to how to trouble shoot this problem? Is it an issue with an SQL query? Any further help you can offer would be very much appreciated before we have to give up on Events Calendar. thanks
Feature request added! Thanks for your help.
Yep, that worked! Adding the old ‘Self’ option to the Additional Field again made the checkbox reappear in the event edit page, allowing me to uncheck it.
Once I had updated all events in this way, the option disappeared from the Filter Bar.
Luckily for me, we didn’t have many events that still had this option selected. It may have been a much bigger task otherwise. For that reason, I think it would be useful to have a feature where you can bulk edit Additional Fields. It’s reasonable to assume that the options in Additional Fields could change from time to time, and when they do, I may not want the old ones appearing in the Filter Bar.
Could I make this a feature suggestion?
Hi Brook, thanks for your reply. That makes total sense, and I did wonder whether this might be what was happening.
Thing is, I did go to those events’ edit pages to have a look if this option was there for me to uncheck, and it wasn’t… there were only 4 checkboxes.
I’m going to try going back to the Additional Field, add ‘Self’ as an option again, then go back to the event and look for the checkbox again.
Hi Nico, yes, we tend to use WP Crontrol, not to be confused with the similarly named “WP Cron Control”.
It seems the cron job is still running constantly, even after deleting a lot of events, and reducing our recurring event creation period.
Oh, another thing to mention is that we are using WP_ALTERNATE_CRON due to server limitations. We will be moving to a new server later today that may support the standard wp cron. If so, we will see if it makes any difference.
Hi Nico,
Thanks for the explanation of how tribe_events_pro_process_recurring_events should work. That makes sense.
We currently have 1,542 events in the database. I’m not sure exactly how many of those are originals and how many are recurrences though.
We did have “Create recurring events in advance for” set to 24 months, however we changed this today to 12 months.
If I look at a typical event, it’s recurring weekly, and the edit page is telling me “105 instances of this event have been created through Sep 30, 2017”.
So I’m guessing rougly 1% of those 1,542 are originals, and the rest are recurrences.
We’re wondering if deleting all events from 2016 onwards might help?
The odd thing is, it seems the cron job *should* have finished it’s work by now, having created all recurrences in the original 24 month (now 12 month) period.
Oh, we’re not using either of those filters you mentioned.
Ah, turns out that fix is causing a PHP Warning:
array_map(): Argument #2 should be an arrayAny ideas on how to fix this? A PHP Notice I could probably live with until the next release, but a PHP Warning not so much!
Edited to add: refreshed the page and the warning didn’t show up this time. Will keep an eye on it.
Hi George and Brian – thanks for your replies on this, and for the quick fix! Look forward to seeing this patch in a new release 🙂
Update: Something I forgot to say in the original post: I’ve set the filter bar to be horizontal. And I’ve discovered that if I put the filter bar back to its vertical state, the options are expanded by default, and I can continue to use it! So it seems it hasn’t been rendered entirely useless then. And I can probably find a way to make sure it appears fully expanded on page load when in a horizontal state.
However, it would still be good to get this issue cleared up.
After reading up on removing actions, I’ve now also realised that I may need to hook up my own unhookings to another, later hook (if that makes any sense). Here’s what I’ve got so far:
// remove default display of Tribe Filter Bar
function removeTribeFilterBarDefaultDisplay() {
error_log(‘Tribe filterbar unhook’);
$filterClass = TribeEventsFilterView::instance();
remove_action(‘tribe_events_before_template’, array($filterClass, ‘displaySidebar’), 25);
remove_action(‘tribe_events_bar_after_template’, array($filterClass, ‘displaySidebar’), 25);
}
add_action(‘widgets_init’, ‘removeTribeFilterBarDefaultDisplay’);This isn’t working though, and there are now quite a few things that could be the problem. I feel like I’m really close though – I’d really appreciate any help you could give me!
Well I’ve figured one thing out: I’m trying to remove the action in the wrong way. If the function being added is a class method (which, in this case, it is) then you have to remove the action in a specific way as documented here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_action#Example
I’ll try this first…
