When you add a new recurring event, most of the time there are multiple additional events created for the same date.<\/p>\n<p>There doesn&#8217;t seem to be a pattern to this. For example, there are some event dates without duplicates, and some with 1, 2, 3 and in one case 17 additional duplicates created for the event date. Something we&#8217;ve also noticed is that sometimes the Featured Image appears in the duplicates, sometimes it is missing.<br \/>\nWe can&#8217;t reliably recreate this problem, it seems to happen randomly. <\/p>\n<p>We have a staging site available that is a complete copy of production, so it is possible to see the duplicate events. We also have the Stream plugin running on the site, so it is possible to see exactly when plugin updates have been applied.<\/p>\n<p>This issue seems to point towards the same root cause:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"QKC6Oro8qt\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/thousands-and-thousand-of-events\/\">Thousands and thousand of events<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Thousands and thousand of events&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/thousands-and-thousand-of-events\/embed\/#?secret=mAgZ3dt99W#?secret=QKC6Oro8qt\" data-secret=\"QKC6Oro8qt\" width=\"580\" height=\"327\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At this stage, there doesn&#8217;t seem to be much point in checking for conflicts. The issue occurs when creating events, and the duplication seems to be occurring in the database calls from the ECP plugin itself. And as the issue is occurring intermittently, stripping the theme and other plugins offers no additional value in diagnosing the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Can you assist in trying to figure out what is causing the duplicates?<\/p>\n<p>The impact is significant. The only workaround we can find once you create an event that duplicates, is to manually edit each duplicate event to remove it from the recurring series, and then delete it. When you have multiple event dates that have 17 duplicates to remove, this is time consuming.<\/p>\n<p>A login is available to the staging site if that helps in resolving the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Glenn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-751692","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Multiple duplicate events being created for the same date -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/multiple-duplicate-events-being-created-for-the-same-date\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Multiple duplicate events being created for the same date -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi Tribe, We have a site running on latest versions of WordPress, EventCalendar Pro and WooThemes Canvas.
