Bulk update events

Hi @siergiejten,

Could you please confirm that you’ve already tried the solutions in the following article? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/fixing-http-404-errors/

For me to understand and learn more about your setup, could you provide the following version of the following?

1. PHP
2. WordPress
3. The Events Calendar
4. Theme and Version

Could you share the direct URL to the page you’re having issues with? Please do not share any credentials, this is for us to follow the WordPress Forum Guidelines.

As I said: “One of your solution working – simple click “Update” button.”.

And that come from link you gave me.

“Re-save the event. This can regenerate data that may be missing and causing the 404. If you are re-saving a recurring event, be sure to select the Save for all events option.”

The problem is well know and it’s connected with xml import errors (https://theeventscalendar.com/known-issues/#dl_wp-all-import).

To regenerate data I’m forced to use “Update” button. After that all working. And as I said I have hundreads of events, so I’m looking for a way to easy update all. Is there any solution for that?

PHP 8.1, WP and your plugin last version

Hello @siergiejten,

Thanks for your reply.

To bulk update events, go to Events in your dashboard, select the ones you want to update, toggle Bulk actions to Edit, and hit Update – https://share.zight.com/E0uJ72GX.

I hope that helps. Please let us know how it goes.

From first post: “Tried with wordpress bulk edit option, but that don’t work. I really need open every single event and press this “update” button.”

Hi @siergiejten

Thanks for your message.

We do have a partial fix about the WP All Import issue. However, you will need to use the WP All Import PRO plugin in order for this to work.

To know more on how to migrate your events, please see https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/wp-all-import-add-on-for-the-events-calendar/

I’m not using WP All Import, so this partial fix is not for me.

I also don’t really believe that someday you will finally fix this issue.

So we back to first message here. To deal with 404 I’m forced to use “Update” button for every event. Do you have any solution that can help me with this? I have hundreds of events and I really don’t want do it manually. Maybe some snippet or addon that will help recreate missing db fields?

Hi @siergiejten

Could you try the snippet below and replace the $event_id with one of your event’s id that needs to be updated, and see if that works for you:

tribe()->make( \TEC\Events\Custom_Tables\V1\Repository\Events::class )->update( $event_id, [] );

To get the event ID, you’ll need to edit one of your events and you should have this URL wp-admin/post.php?post=1445&action=edit . The 1445 is the event ID.

As always, please test it first on a staging version of your live site to avoid unnecessary downtime.

Let me know how it goes.

Critical error and calendar went down after using this code. Any other ideas?

Hi @siergiejten

Thanks for your response.

Could I ask how you run the snippet code? Were you using a plugin or did you directly add it in functions.php?

If you’re not familiar with coding, you can use the Code Snippets plugin, which removes the need to add custom snippets to your theme’s functions.php file. When you add the snippet code, please set it to run only once.

Looking forward to your reply.
