[Plugin: Events Manager] Cannot upgrade from 4.212 to 5.0.50

  • Hi Marcus,

    Our install has 10,742 events. I’ve tried two methods of upgrading to version 5, and neither has successfully completed:

    Before both methods, I did the following: Deactivate the plugin, replace the plugin files with version 5 of the plugin, reactivate.

    Then:

    Method 1) After I clicked activate, the script ran for about 10 minutes and upgraded 2,629 events, then errored out by exceeding max_execution_time of 300 (I realize 10 mins is longer than 300 seconds, but that’s what happened). I refreshed and expected it would continue upgrading events, but the plugins page loaded immediately, with the EM plugin successfully activated, and the message “Events Manager upgrade still in progress. Please be patient, this message should disappear once the upgrade is complete.” However, the number of upgraded events in the database did not keep increasing, and the message never went away, even after waiting overnight. The number of upgraded events stays permanently at 2,629. Even if I deactivate and then reactivate the plugin, I get the same thing — plugins page loads immediately with the “still in progress” message, and events do not continue to be upgraded.

    Method 2) I increased the max_execution_time to 100000000000. The script ran for several hours, but did not upgrade more than 2,611 events (it arrived at this number about 10 minutes after starting). I finally stopped it and restarted apache, because my laptop was overheating.

    I am checking the number of upgraded events by filtering the wp_em_events table on rows with post_id > 0. Is this the correct way to check?

    Any advice?

    Thanks,
    Jessica

    Hi Jessica, try this:

    visit yourwpsite.com/wp-admin/options.php

    set dbem_upgrade_throttle to 0

    save form

    if it doesn’t try to upgrade again try refreshing the page, it should start upgrading again. If it does that again, try doing the same until the upgrade finishes.

    Will add something to override the the throttle via that warning. Some servers time out but continue the script, and this has been causing double event imports, hence this throttle.

    Thanks Marcus, that did seem to restart it again, however, it’s going very slowly (about 1 event per second). Should I change the throttle time option as well?

    that wouldn’t have an effect on the speed of migration, it’s to do with how often the throttle should reset and continue installing. If it’s that slow, could it be your server being overloaded (on my test shared hostings, it does roughly 1000 per min)?
