I just had this happen recently too.

vegas4locals .com/event/animals-in-wonderland/

I noticed in Google Search it added the event and showed 4/21 as the date even though it is set for 4/20.
If you view the page source you can see the wrong date in the schema code.

I haven’t noticed this error on others yet, just thought I would throw out another confirmation of seeing this happen.

András!! I think that may be it. I don’t have time to test at the moment, but will in the next few days.

I do have some files in my child theme and notice a few of the files are way different than the current files from the newest download. (datepickers.php for one example).

When doing a conflict test and switching to another theme, this would be overlooked as the template files in the child theme go away often leading to appear as a theme conflict. (unless I also put those files in the test theme too).

Thanks and I can’t wait to check this out!

I did test plugin conflicts, but wasn’t able to easily switch themes.
But now I have removed the latest versions of your plugin and reinstalled the last version and all works fine (same theme and other plugins). No other changes were made and the new version of your plugin doesn’t work, while the old version does.
Being a live site with lots of traffic, I can’t just shut it down, reinstall bad versions of plugins and retest with a new theme. If I move it offsite to test on a dev server, then the license keys won’t work(or I was lead to believe they wouldn’t?).

I guess I will just have to use the old versions for a while.

Thanks Frances, I just rolled back to the previous releases and all is well again.
Hopefully the dev team will get the latest versions fixed soon, but for now my events are submitting again.

Brook!! You are a lifesaver!

I was trying to manually delete the 20k+ posts yesterday and the server kept crashing after about 100 deletes. The “update” trick crashed the server immediately, so went with the delete option. I setup an auto page refresh to keep deleting 100 every 5 minutes. I got through about 10,000 over night. Then I see your SQL technique and wiped them all out in 10 seconds.

The site is now fast to load and back to normal. Thanks so much for your help.

Hey Brook, after 2+ days since the last post, I am still at 101 items left. There has been no decrease in that number.
If you have a way to speed this up, let me know. I can dig in as deep as needed to make it happen. Thanks.

[Thomas]

Thanks Brook!

Looks like we still have 101 processes to go.

a:101:{i:0;i:7255;i:1;i:7336;i:2;i:7458;i:3;i:7…

I appreciate your help.

We have installed the auto cleanup plugin. Is there any way to tell how the progress is going? I know you said it could take days/weeks, but how do we know when it is done? So far we are at 24 hours with no improvements (which may not be expected yet per the notes).

I saw this fix posted earlier:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-breaks-menu-admin

The page never fully loads and the JavaScript inspector shows “columns is not defined”.

This is due to a missing load-scripts.php I think, but that’s irrelevant. If you activate WP_DEBUG you will see a PHP error.

<b>Fatal error</b>: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in <b>\httpdocs\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\src\Tribe\Main.php</b> on line <b>1135</b>

I changed this line:
‘post_title’ => $post_type[‘args’]->labels->all_items,

To this:
‘post_title’ => $post_type->labels->all_items,

It seems to work, but I am not claiming this is a proper fix. It was just enough to get rid of the error and get the site running again.

I have tested further by removing the folder with all template files that I added to my theme (/tribe-events) and removing the customized theme functions.

Issue remained.

It is weird that the issue only happens on “Category” pages. It works fine on the main “Events” page. And if you hover over the “next month” (in list view) or “October” (in Month view) the link/url that you can see/preview is the right link, but clicking on it doesn’t fire that links. And if you hover over the link, right click and open in new tab, it works.

So, based on what we have so far, it is a Theme issue? Can we determine what might be the type of conflict it is? I really like to try and figure out how things work even if I don’t always understand the exact code. And wouldn’t the theme cause issues on all events and not just the categories? (Just thinking out loud here)

As always, I thank you for your time and any more advice or thoughts on the matter.

[Thomas]

Thanks for taking a look.

1) Sorry for the confusion there. It sounded better when I first wrote that, but see how I left out the necessities.

On the category page /events/category/senior-events-and-activities/ there are a few template modifications that are not in the default theme.

The mods are:

<!-- Tribe Bar -->
<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'modules/bar' ); ?>

	<!-- Main Events Content -->
	<?php if (is_tax('tribe_events_cat', 'senior-events-and-activities')) : ?>
<p>Las Vegas is a great place for seniors as there are many activities throughout our communities. We frequently add activities and events for seniors to this page, so please check back often for new additions. Most of the Las Vegas senior activities listed here are free or charge only a small fee to participate.</p> 
  <ul><li> <a href="http://www.vegas4locals.com/events/">Click Here</a> for Las Vegas Events and Community Activities for All Ages.</li>
    <li> <a href="http://www.vegas4locals.com/events/submission/">Click Here</a> if you have a Las Vegas event you would like to add to our list.</li></ul>
<?php elseif (is_category('Category B')) : ?>
<p>This is the text to describe category B</p>
<?php else : ?>
<p></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'list/content' ); ?>

(The Category B part is just for a mental marker in case we want to expand unique content to another page later on.)

Also in my theme’s funtions.php file there are a few mods that are not in the default theme’s function file. I included my functions.php file in the private response.

When I switched the theme to the default theme, I navigated to a Category Page, the same mentioned above that no longer has the custom text intro fields and the “Next Month” link worked fine.

I even deleted and replaced the template files in my theme’s folder just in case any other pieces changed on the last plugin update, but that didn’t seem to fix it either.

2) Permalinks are set as /%postname%/

3) I had tried that previously and again just now, but no luck there.
