We had a site where we used Event Aggregator to pull in events from another site. Basically, one of our client’s sites was “the source” and we got a license for Event Aggregator for this other one to pull from there on a daily basis so that they matched.<\/p>\n
It worked initially for a one-time import, going through the motions of seeing the preview events and such, and when that was successful, we set up a daily import and it’s been updating ever since.<\/p>\n
There are really only two people who ever go into the back end with any frequency, though, and neither had visited the site in a while because there just weren’t a lot of requests to do work for it. One of those people mentioned there was a database connection error and come to find out the site had been hacked. Redirect files in the root folder, a truncated wp_options table; it was bad.<\/p>\n
So the host, GoDaddy, says nuke everything to make sure it’s all gone for good and then just re-import the site like you did when you initially brought it over from the dev hosting. In other words, bring it live again. You’ll lose a bit of the interim work but at least everything will be safe.<\/p>\n
We did that, and everything seems to work great, except now the event importing from that other site won’t work. It wants to do it but just hangs, and hangs, and hangs. There are some events that are carried over from when it was a dev site (though there’s no bulk restore for ignored events anymore) so we can see that all the page templates, the styles, etc….all work and look good.<\/p>\n
We aren’t even so much concerned about older events. We just want the process back that retrieves it. It worked well before and the only thing that changed was that site was attacked, but then it was rebuilt clean in place.<\/p>\n
If I’m not mistaken you have mentioned that there’s a sort of pass-through for imports on your servers here, for a few different reasons I forget but partially to monitor the rate limit. I let it go for a day or two because there were more than our limit (100) events that were old to bring in, but now even with a scheduled import set to just get new stuff (of which there’s maybe a dozen or so?) it acts like it doesn’t want to try.<\/p>\n
Normally I’d think something like a memory issue but it’s the same site as pre-hacking which handled things great with whatever server configuration it has always had.<\/p>\n
This is the site we’re pulling from if it matters: http:\/\/saseafoodco.com\/events\/<\/p>\n
