Event still listing after date of event

    Hi,

    I had an odd issue today. An event that my client had listed in Eventbrite had not sold any tickets and the date of the event had passed, but, the event was still listing on the WordPress page. However, it was correctly saying that no tickets could be bought.

    I would have thought this would have removed itself?

    I went into the eventbrite admin and changed the event to draft but that didn’t remove it, then I read the forums and realised there was a 24hr cache delay, so I deleted the connection and remade it. That has removed the listing now.

    I’m thinking that it was the cache because another event that has sold out has removed itself from the available list. I just wanted to flag this up in case there was a bug that meant events with no sales but were passed the event date remained listed.

    I have installed the 1hr cache plugin now so I will see what happens with the other events.

    Thanks

    Hi Ian,

    Thanks for the heads-up; yes, there can be some time slip between the cache expiring and precise end times of events. The disparity between having the event still listed, but having it properly show no tickets available is because that section is an iframe; the event is still listed because of the plugin’s cache, and it’s info is up-to-date because the iframe is pulling accurate to-the-minute info from Eventbrite.

    Good call on the 1hr cache plugin, hopefully that will minimize these sorts of occurrences for you. The real solution to these overlaps will be us eventually supporting webhooks, but some structural work needs to happen before that can be implemented. We don’t have an ETA at this point.

    Thanks again for posting!
