All-in-One Event Calendar Update 1.10.11

haizdesign, that’s understandable.
AFAIK, 1.10.11 is only available directly from Timely with much more of a base version available here.
A sticky here about the issue (and the 1969 issue) might help since many are visiting here with 1.10.11 issues.
The Timely forums has the solutions.

I’d agree that if some customers are seeing a broken app they might be reluctant to continue with it in any form.

Maybe a 1.10.12 might indeed be a good idea before 2.

@jashan How can I get a more specific fatal error? This is the error I am seeing on the plugins page when trying to activate it: Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Hello Luke314pl,

This means the database did not upgrade. Does the Wp account you upgraded with has the permissions to alter you DATABASE?

To get it working please manually install the previous version you are on, and then use WP account that has full privilege over database to upgrade to higher version.

Thanks

@jashan I checked and my user role is Administrator, with full permissions on everything.

I just added this great plugin to two new sites, but instead of installing the 1.10.11 version I installed the 1.10.9. I’m just keeping a copy of 1.10.11 and I’ll upgrade just before the 2.0 upgrade.

There are no improvements that justify upgrading to 1.10.11 and deal with these errors.

@haizdesign to get rid of the message I just added the following code in functions.php

add_action('admin_head', 'remove_messages');

function remove_messages() {
  echo '<style>
    .updated{
	display:none;
    }
  </style>';
}

It get rids of ALL admin messages, but for most of the clients it is not a problem.

If you want to get more fancy with this, just add an if statement to disable the messages for all users that doesn’t have the capability to switch themes:

add_action('admin_head', 'remove_messages');

function remove_messages() {
if ( ! current_user_can( 'switch_themes' ) ){
  echo '<style>
    .updated{
	display:none;
    }
  </style>';
 }
}

If you already upgraded AND has a backup of your database just beefore the update, my advice is to roll back to 1.10.9 and recover the database backup.

And keep a copy of 1.10.11 to use when 2.0 comes…

Thanks BRG – that was just what I wanted.

One of the ways I was able to fix a site ‘broken’ by the 1.10.11 update was by using a database roll-back on a development server along with the (lifesaving) WP Migrate DB Pro plugin. I used phpMyAdmin to drop all the all in one tables on the live site’s database and replaced the plugin with my 1.10.9 backup. I then used WPMigrate DB Pro to push the events from my dev server to the live site and everything is now back and working. With BRG’s advice above, I removed the update notice and now have a happy client again.

On a side note, a real positive from this has been the opportunity to provide great customer service and turn a potentially difficult situation with a client around.

@jashan I followed your instructions, and my user role is Administrator, with full permissions on everything. And it still won’t activate.

where can I get version 1.10.9 from?

GR8FL, you can get 1.10.9 here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l309f75hih4ndkd/timely-all-in-one-calendar-1.10.9.zip

My question is this: How can I downgrade to 1.10.9 without losing all my events? Can someone please talk me through this? I looked through all the plugin’s subfolders and couldn’t figure out where the actual events are being stored. Is there a way to back up my events, downgrade from 1.10.11 to 1.10.9, then restore my events?

Thanks for the link to 1.10.9. I deleted AI1EC from my plugins folder, uploaded 1.10.9, activated it in Dashboard, and all of my events were still there. I will just stick with 1.10.9 until 2.0 is ready.

I just tried exactly what you described, luke314pi, and it deleted all my events. Now I have hours of work ahead of me entering everything in manually again. So for anyone else who comes across this thread, be sure you’re really willing to risk losing everything before you try it.

Sorry, but I’ve 2 problems… From a week I cann’t add new event and I can modify the old event. Simply I cann’t write on the field with the day of the event… And finally the posterboard doesn’t work… https://www.viaventisettembre.it/incontri-in-libreria/

I am kicking myself for upgrading the all-in-one calendar today. I see that I am not the only one who has gotten this error…

Warning: array_search() expects parameter 2 to be array, object given in /home/content/90/12199590/html/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/all-in-one-event-calendar.php on line 160

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/content/90/12199590/html/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/all-in-one-event-calendar.php on line 160

The plug-in said it installed successfully, but on the plug-in page this error appears.

I have no idea what you are talking about “commenting out line 160” and I’m not sure what you mean about FTP’ing the site to fix it.

This calendar is on a group blog with tons of events. I don’t want to lose what is in there.

Hello Pam,

To fix this, please connect to FTP and go to wp-content -> plugins -> all-in-one-event-calendar -> all-in-one-event-calendar.php and delete the following code at line 160

unset( $plugins->active[ array_search( $basename, $plugins->active ) ] );

This should fix the issue.
Thanks
