Published event going to draft after edit

  • I’m using EventManager version 5.5.7.1.

    When I need to edit some published events I’m receiving the following error and the event is going to DRAFT status from PUBLISH.

    Your event details are incorrect and cannot be published, please correct these errors first:
    Something went wrong updating your event to the index table. Please inform a site administrator about this.

    The situation persists after any sql table optimization. The only way I found to re-publish the event is via PHPMyAdmin, changing by hand in the posts table the value “draft” to “publish”.

    I’m not able to replicate the error on other event, it happens just random.

    I’m looking further for any help or advice, thank you!

    just to narrow down the problem and help us debug the issue is it possible to try the following temporarily:

    – deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems

    Thank you, I solved the problem, it wasn’t related to EM, but to a post-to-post connection with an non existent record.

    I am having the same issue, can i ask how you resolved it please?

    I deleted the link connection between event post type and other custom type – I was using Post to Post

    There is another source for this issue…
    After editing a published event, the post is going to draft status unexpectedly… Just the admin is able to publish it again.

    maybe you can try the latest dev version EM 5.6.0.1

    https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/upgrade-dev-version/

    This could be related to the location not being created, or “No location” checkbox not being selected. Until either are filled out .. the event will not be published and will be in draft mode.

    @mkormendy,

    It’s not related to location selection. The event contains all the requested fields. In the case of editors/authors, the event is going to draft mode after every update. They are not able to publish it again, only the admin.

    @angelo,

    I’ll try this one, the switch between versions involves database changes? Can I go back to the production version after that?

    yes, you can but might need manually using ftp or your host cpanel to upload the previous version however you can try it first in your dev site with the same config of your prod. site before updating your prod/live site.

    I’m getting closer to the source of problem. The event goes to draft mode when an editor edit an event submitted by other editor. The admin edit is not affected and there is no problems with own events. So it’s a matter of capabilities. In the Event Capabilities section all the (event) boxes are checked.

    Which version of Events Manager are you currently using?

    I’m having exactly the same problem as thinkero is. The event goes to draft mode when an editor edits an event submitted by another user. Then the editor cannot publish that event unless he changes the author to himself. The admin can still publish the event, and there are no problems with the editor’s own events. In the Event Capabilities section all the event boxes are checked for the editor. We’re on Event Manager 5.6.1 and WP 4.3.1.

    can I know if you already set user capability edit_others_events in your editor under Events > Settings > General > User Capability ?
