Thanks for your reply. Hope it doesn’t happen again.

I manually deleted everything after Jan 1 and changed all the recurring events’ ending date until the end of this year and clicked on “Merge Duplicate Recurring Events” multiple times. .

I have been let those recurring events go for years like from early 2013. Maybe I used it for too long. From now on, I will set recurring event for no longer than 2 months.
Hope this helps prevent future duplicates/problems.
I will report back to you if problem occurs again.

The events are getting duplicated randomly at a later point (I create the event and it seems fine but you come back a day or so later and there are multiple versions of the duplicated events)
So I can’t test by switching to other theme and deactivating all the plugins.
Also, there are duplicates of NON-RECURRING events, too. Did this happen before?

Also, I set “Create recurring events in advance for” 2 months and changed it to just 1 month now. But the events are created ahead more than 2 months.

Yes, it helps! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
Now it looks like the problem has been solved. Hope it does not happen again. After I wrote the above yesterday, I ran the cleanup plugin again and it lasted for hours. I wasn’t sure it was actually merging all the duplicates for that long time, but it finally did. From over 13,000 events, it all got merged and left about 1,500 events. Not the site is running much faster.

Thanks for your help again.

Thanks for your help.
I am now running the cleanup plugin but there were over 15,000 events in total and most of them are duplicates. The plugin merges about 200 events at a time on average and I have to keep running the plugin over and over again.

One thing I want to find out is if I upgrade the Event plugin 3.5.2 and activate the cleanup plugin, the same problem(creating numerous duplicates) will not happen again?

If you’re not sure, how can I prevent this from happening? This is taking forever and very frustrating. Please help this doesn’t happen again.

The hosting provider is a Korean one. http://www.cafe24.com
linux centos php5.3 mysql5.1, full SSD, 30G/day traffic volume

They can’t open my site because it’s affecting the whole server so I can not access and count the number of events.
We have 9-10 events per week. And 7 of them are recurring events.
We started using Tribe plugin from around January this year(2014) that is integrated into Gameplan theme. http://themeforest.net/item/gameplan-event-and-gym-fitness-wordpress-theme/5936266
So based on the calculation, about 220 events are created until May and don’t know how many more recurring events are created from June and afterwards.

The hosting company said it has been a problem for months. (The site has been very slow for a long time.) They can only reopen the site when the above query problem(that is related to this plugin) can be solved.

Please advise how we can solve this problem. Thanks.

We have 7 events just this weekend. Many people will be lost on the street without the map and direction on the site. Please help as quickly as possible. Thanks.
