Hey Robert. Thanks for the note here. On this end, my guess is this could just be a matter of needing to flush your permalinks. Can you try just going into the Settings -> Permalinks page for the overall WP site; resaving that page (without necessarily making any changes); and testing the problem again to see if it persists?
9 times out of 10 on issues such as this, the permalink flush is all it takes to get things squared away. Let me know if that’s not the case, though.
Thanks Roberto! I received the email here and will be looking into this over the next few days; expect a response no later than Monday. Cheers.
Checking in once more here, Matt. Can we close this thread out? Just want to check before I act…let me know!
Hey Brad. Since it’s the end of the week and we’re cleaning out inactive threads here, I’m going to mark this closed (as it has been more than a week). If you come back and find this is still an issue, just shoot me an email (pro /a/ tri.be) with a link to this thread and I’ll re-open it for you. Thanks.
Hi all. I just wanted to chime in here now that we’ve all discussed this internally, and cleared up a few points of confusion. There are two distinct issues at play here:
1. a BUG related to the javascript spinner; when you break an event out of a recurrence pattern, then try to update that broken-out event, the spinner loads infinitely and your save never actually goes through.
2. a FUNCTIONALITY ISSSUE (not a bug) related to how events are broken out of recurrence. Let’s say you have a recurring event that runs from today for the next 15 days; you go into the 3rd event in that series, change the description or title, and elect to apply that either to only this event (in which case it is broken out of the recurrence pattern) or all future events (in which case any events before this are broken out of the recurrence). This is intended behavior and is intended to be the same as how Google Calendar or iCal behave; if you change the details of an event, then those details aren’t consistent with the rest of the events in that series…and so they aren’t really all the same recurrence to begin with. Recurrence as it was built was the same specifics for all events in a pattern – if specifics change, that event isn’t technically part of the recurrence. It’s its own event.That being said, for #2, it seems obvious that this behavior isn’t necessarily what users want. Since we’re reengineering how recurrence works for 3.0, this is now a high priority aspect of that discussion…we want to give you guys the flexibility you need without breaking too much from industry standard. We’re also looking to get the issue of the infinite load worked out sooner, in an upcoming maintenance release, so you at least have the ability to update/modify those broken instances of the pattern as you need. All that to say that #1 will almost certainly come before #2.
Just wanted to make sure we’re all on the same page about this. We appreciate all of your feedback so far and it is adding significant value to our internal discussions on this. If anyone has other ideas or suggestions please do let us know.
Hey again Steven. Just a heads up that we are hoping to get this into the next monthly release, coming over the next week or two. No guarantees but based on our testing so far it is looking good.
Hey again Rob. Just wanted to follow-up on this one to double check if Jonah’s last response got you where you needed to be. Can you confirm, so we can close out this thread or follow-up as needed? Thanks in advance!
I’m going to close this thread out due to inactivity. Roberto, if you find you need anything else here or aren’t where you need to be…please shoot an email to pro /a/ tri.be referencing this thread, and we’ll re-open it. Cheers!
Hey Matt, just wanted to check in to confirm per Barry’s note above. This should give you what you need to move forward but please confirm before I close this thread out. Cheers!
Just wanted to check in on this again, Brad. Any thoughts on my last note? Want to make sure we get this sorted for you.
Roberto, just wanted to check in here. Let me know if we can do anything else here….otherwise I’m inclined to close this out at the week’s end. Cheers!
Hey S. Thanks for the note here; we haven’t seen a lot of demand for this, and don’t have much in terms of an official solution, but I see we helped a user with a related issue a few months back in this thread: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/remove-multiple-posts-via-database-site-crashing-with-plugin-enabled/. Might that be of value to you here?
Hey Steven. Thanks for the note here; that’s a really weird issue and one that I can say I’ve never encountered on my end. Are you on 2.0.9 for both PRO and the core The Events Calendar? If so, mind sending an email with a set of admin creds to pro /a/ tri.be, along with a link to this thread?
We won’t change anything on your site beyond attempting to recreate this directly. I cannot achieve the same result on my end, which makes me think something else might be at play.
