Hi Victor,

Thanks for your response. I’ve updated the plugins and the issue hasn’t been fixed. Any other suggestions?

We’ve got a dev site however we don’t have a second license for the pro plugins which stops us from developing Event Calender features on it.

Hi Jaime,

Yes, I went through all the advice in the link you provided, unfortunately none of it worked.

I’ve tried a fresh install of wordpress before contacting you along with several other fixes. To confirm I’ve now tried the following:

Deactivating all plugins
Reverting to TwentySeventeen
Updating all plugins/wordpress os
Removing all expired transient files from database
Repairing existing database
Checking wp_posts are set to auto increment
Setting up a new database
Updating my PHP to 7.1
fresh install of wordpress

At this point I’m utterly stumped…

Hi Jaime,

It’s a site-wide issue but I believe the issue has been caused by the events calendar. My belief is that a bug with the ‘Enable the Month View Cache’ option caused our database to slowly fill up causing the issue adding events/posts/media.

When checking our database last week I discovered our database had exceeded it’s allowance, with almost 1GB of stored events calendar related transient data. When googling I then found this article:

600mb database caused by events calendar

Since reading that article, I’ve unchecked the ‘Enable month view cache’ option, used the plugin recommended (Transient Cleaner) which removed the bulk of the transient files. Annoying the 1&1 database wouldn’t update to reflect the reduction in file size so I duplicated the remaining content (about 25mb) onto a fresh database and pointed the wp-config.php file to the new database.

Annoyingly, even though the database is now fine, we’re still unable to add new events/posts/media etc.

Any tips?

Hi Jaime,

Yes, this is affecting the entire functionality of the website. I’ve checked for conflicts using your procedure – still no luck, the issue is still there.

Hi Jaime,

I’ve gone ahead and removed the Google API however that hasn’t resolved the issue.

I’m unable to add posts, events or media – I get the following text at the top of the ‘add a…’ pages:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homepages/30/d648578034/htdocs/southamptonvsBackup/site/wp-admin/includes/post.php on line 642

And the publish button has been replaced with a submit for review button that on click says ‘Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this post.’

Hi Jaime,

Thanks for your email. I have updated all our modern tribe plugins to the latest versions:

Event Calendar 4.6.14.1
Event Calendar Pro 4.4.25
Filter Bar 4.5.5

Unfortunately this has not fixed the issue.

Thanks for the update and your suggestions with that snippet Barry.

Unfortunately it didn’t do the trick – fingers crossed you’ll be able to find a fix fairly soon.
