@iworldc, are you using UltimatumTheme because that’s what I was using for the site this error occurred on? Just wondering if that may be the culprit since disabling all the other plugins didn’t work for me.

Addressed in the correct forum.

Just an FYI, I just installed WP4.5.3 and disabled all my plugins except All In One Event Calendar and still have the problem.

I’m still getting this error even after several new versions of the all-in-one-event calendar plugin. Have you had a chance to look at it via the credentials to the test sandbox I sent you?

Have you changed your “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” from “https://” to “https://” under Settings->General in the WordPress admin?

Check your php-errors.log for any errors relating to “ai1ec”. That might give you some clues. I’m having issues with “default-event-avatar.png” (see my ‘error’ below).

I have had this issue with this latest version 2.4.0 as well as the previous version 2.3.12 and the version before that worked just fine. I have found that commenting out line #54 in this latest version of \wp-content\plugins\all-in-one-event-calendar\all-in-one-event-calendar.php “fixes” it so that my calendar will display but I’m not sure what is breaking (if anything) because of it.

#52 $soft_disable_message = $ai1ec_exception_handler->get_disabled_message();
#53 if ( false !== $soft_disable_message ) {
#54 	//return $ai1ec_exception_handler->show_notices( $soft_disable_message );
#55 }

I don’t recommend you start hacking away at someone else’s code, but this worked for me so use at your own risk! If you have similar issues this may be a short term solution or at least a diagnostic “check” to see it fixes your issue as well.

I commented out line #54 in all-in-one-event-calendar.php (v2.3.12) to get it working again. I hate to leave it that way but I hope you can fix it soon.

//return $ai1ec_exception_handler->show_notices( $soft_disable_message );

I also had to go to the themes section and hit Save for it to generate a new css file (acb4534c_ai1ec_parsed_css.css) in the cache folder because the formatting was all gone.

Any luck diagnosing this issue with the sandbox I set up for you?

This may have some bearing on the problem. I copied the database files over to create the sandbox and there are two files that are locked so hard I can’t even delete them:

wp_ai1ec_event_category_meta.MYD
wp_ai1ec_event_category_meta.MYI

Any thoughts?

I just sent you the credentials. Please let me know when you get on. If you activate the plugin it breaks the admin console and the only way to fix it is for me to move the all-in-one-event-calendar folder to the desktop and refresh the admin page.

FYI: I disabled ALL my plugins EXCEPT the “All In 1 Events Calendar” and tried to activate and got the same error.

I’m still getting this error. Any fix for this yet?

Hey Ben,

The plugin has been working fine for months. It seems suspect this error popped up approximately the same time that I upgraded to WordPress 4.5.1 but that may be just coincidental.

What happened was I came into work, logged on to the admin, and saw the normal top and side menus but the main portion of the window was blank except for an error box that read:

All-in-One Event Calendar has been disabled due to an error:
The specified file "default-event-avatar.png" doesn't exist.

No matter what admin screen I went to I see the same thing even though it’s supposed to be disabled. I move the all-in-one-event-calendar folder out of the plugins folder and to the desktop and refresh the page and the error goes away.

I tried adding a number to the end of the folder as you suggested and still have the same problem. I tried deleting the folder and installing a fresh copy of the plugin from the repository and have the same problem.

NOTE: The front end is not affected by this error on the back end.

I had the same error and went through all my plugins and found the “Admin Menu Editor” plugin was in conflict with Jetpack. I disabled the plugin and Jetpack worked fine. Are you per chance using the “Admin Menu Editor” too? If so try disabling it.

I have a version I’m working on but I’m trying to track down a strange bug when it save the filename and path in the database. When I get that figured out I will post the new version.
