I’ve been running Events Calendar for quite a while on my fairly simple WP site. I update everything regularly. Last week I wanted to create a recurring event. It seemed the only way to do that was to renew my Events Calendar Pro license for $62. So I did. Very shortly after, my site completely crashed. The error I got from my hosting company support ticket was a “max_query” limit exceeded error which seemed unlikely as the site is a simple not-for-profit site with not a ton of action. <\/p>\n
So, the hosting company hit me up for $36 to upgrade my query limit from 75000\/hour to 150000\/hour. That worked for about 5 minutes. Then the site crashed again. (But I did get better phone support in the deal.)<\/p>\n
By day 3 or 4 of the site being completely non-functional, we finally deactivated all the plugins, slowly reactivating them and revealing Events Cal Pro as the culprit. Prior to all the crashing, I had set up one recurring event for the first of every month. It still shows up on the calendar even though Pro has now been deactivated. <\/p>\n
I then found your forum about the update to 4.2.2.1. I thought great; it was just a bug this should fix it. Nope. I upgraded last night to 4.2.2.1 only to have the whole site crash again after about 5 minutes. Also, when I go into the list of events and try to delete the 9,000 plus instances of that one recurring event, I can’t trash it or purge the cache. I get a 502 Bad Gateway nginx message.<\/p>\n
I’d like to know how to get rid of all those erroneous recurring events. And I’d like a refund of the $62. This just isn’t worth the hassle. I’ve only taken the time to explain in detail in case others are experiencing the same issue. Please advise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1140522","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
