I have now installed a Bulk Delete plugin and discovered that there are 13,097 Events in the database. When I try to use the plugin to delete events over a certain number days old, the 503 error happens. If you think the number of events may be why the plugin is causing the site to crash, please can you instruct me on how I can delete old events without causing the error. Maybe there is a SQL query that I can use in phpmyadmin?
After doing some more testing and installing earlier versions of Events Calendar and Pro, and considering the database issues discovered by the hosting company, I am thinking this has to do with the number of events in the database. When I install earlier versions of the plugins things seem to work until I click on the Events link (in backend) Whenever I try to view the actual list of events in the database, it tries to load for several minutes and then gives a 503. The hosting tech support said there was a lot of activity on a specific table in the database called wp_postmeta. I know that there are several years worth of events in there. Maybe it can’t handle? I don’t know if these things are related but it is interesting that even when it doesn’t take down the whole site I am still unable to view the events in the database. Which means I can’t go back and delete old records, which is a problem.
