More specifics
The venue is blank on the “edit event” screen, but visible if you preview the event listing or if you click “edit venue.” (screenshot)
Possibly connected, or at least it happened at the same time: Looks like we’re missing the box to select from existing venues on the add an event screen for community users, though it looks fine when I’m logged in as an admin. (Thought for a minute that the option that lets users create their own venues might have something to do with it, but actually it wouldn’t, because whether checked or unchecked, there should still be the option to select from stored events.) https://calendar.hudsonvalleyone.com/events/community/add
I’ve tested on our staging site with all other plugins disabled.
Thanks for the diagnostics! 🙂
On the exclusions, I noticed that before and it seemed odd, or at least inelegant. Do you think this was being caused by the same thing, events entered before the update?
Is it possible to sort events by whether they recur indefinitely? A lot of the older recurring events are events whose time has come and gone, so they could be deleted, while any of the ones that should still be recurring could be reentered. (Going forward that would be useful anyway just for deleting old events as a batch without worrying about removing something that should still be going.)
OK. Couldn’t get the host to up the max_execution time, but I did try it on my machine with xampp. Still no dice.
Upon further investigation, I noticed that there are recurring posts that refuse to load in the browser (from the “edit event” dashboard, not on the front end). If they won’t load to edit, and time out the browser, the same thing is probably happening with the cron, right?
The recurring posts this happens with tend to be older and recurring indefinitely. One solution is to trash any event this happens with and reenter all the info. Quite tedious, especially since I can’t tell from the admin screen which recurring events were entered to recur indefinitely (and should still be generating new events) and which were entered to recur for a limited period of time (so they can’t be causing any problems now). But that wouldn’t explain why we had this problem in the first place so who knows if it would happen again.
I corresponded with the host and was told there was a particular error that showed up when the edit post screen got bogged down, which could be relevant:
PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /nas/content/live/upcal/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Tribe/Recurrence/Meta.php on line 1403.
The support tech also said: “It does also reference the recurrence of the plugin, so should be directly related.”
I provided a database file for testing previously. I could let you know some of the particular events this happens with so you can see it in action. Since we have a staging site, I could just make an account for you, if that’s faster. I would like to figure out why some of these events can’t load.
So I reached out to the host- the chron is getting killed by the server because it’s taking longer than 60 seconds.
Useful info I might not have mentioned before: I believe it stopped creating future recurring events in May after working fine since the previous August.
