I upgraded our development site to EE4 from EE3 (Version 3.1.36.5.P). We had 7 venues before the upgrade, and now we have 466! I don’t want to just start deleting venues, because we would like to be able to see past events with their correct venue info.

The errors look like this:

Database table online_esp_currency_payment_method exists when it shouldn’t, and may contain erroneous data. If you have previously restored your database from a backup that didn’t remove the old tables, then we recommend adding
define( ‘EE_DROP_BAD_TABLES’, TRUE );
to your wp-config.php file then restore to that backup again. This will clear out the invalid data from online_esp_currency_payment_method. Afterwards you should undo that change from your wp-config.php file.
If you cannot edit wp-config.php, you should remove the data from online_esp_currency_payment_method manually then restore to the backup again.

and they exist for 30 tables.

Since I did not restore from a backup, I have not pursued editing the php.

Hi Toni,

Had you activated EE4 previously to this migration?

For example a few months ago did you activate EE4 to test and then continued to use EE3?

Are the venues all duplicates? (You don’t need to check them all, if they have the same title, just open a couple and confirm they have the same details saved)

Had you made any modifications to EE3 at all?

We activated it on this site and encountered the same problem, so we refreshed the site (by cloning our production site to it) to see when the problem occurred.

Some venues are duplicates, and some seem to be new ones, possibly from where someone had ‘written in’ a venue description?

I don’t believe we modified EE3, but that was being managed by another employee who is no longer at the company.
