EE version 3.1.36.2.P [Tue Jan 14 07:47:20 2014] [warn] [client 72.171.192.248] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds |
Hi there, Some of these errors indicate that something on the server level has changed. It would be good to check with the hosting company to see what (if any) upgrades were done to the server recently. The other possibility is there’s a bad cache file. You can go into WP super cache’s settings and delete the its cache and even try temporarily disabling caching via the WP Super Cache settings. It’s important that WP Super Cache stays activated though. If you simply deactivate WP Super Cache the cached files will continue to be served. After you clear the cache, it may help to deactivate then reactivate Event Espresso and its add-ons. |

Thank you, I’ve forwarded your response to our host. Hope it works |
|
All of the above have been done/checked and no luck. My host/developer is saying it’s a plug in issue? |
Has the WordPress database table prefix been changed recently? When you reactivate Event Espresso and its add-ons, do any error messages get logged to the log file? |
|
|
I don’t know what you mean by the database table prefix. We haven’t done anything on our side, it was working fine last week. No idea when it went down exactly, just started getting phone calls from customers. No error messages when I did the updates…of course it went down before the updates, but even still nothing was noted when we updated. |
You can check with your developer and ask them if the database prefix was changed. The other course of action that may help is to backup the files in the WP Plugin directory, then deactivate and delete the Event Espresso plugins. Then you can download fresh copies of Event Espresso from your account page and re-install. |
|
|
okay, we’ll get on that check. Deleting and re installing, will that result in me having to re-enter all of our information/events….like starting from scratch? |
Deleting the Event Espresso and reinstalling will not result in having to re-enter all of your information or events because your information and events are stored in the database. |
|
|
I just completed the deleting and re-installing of e.e. with no avail. The page is still not loading. If it means anything the “custom files” would not install, error given was “no valid plugin found”. Everything was downloaded fresh from here and then installed (so not the original files we installed before) |
|
If you’ve had a particular version of EE activated before, then activating that version again will not run the database update scripts again. You can either delete the wp_options row ‘espresso_db_update’ or change the version number in espresso.php, on line 34, from: return '3.1.36.2.P'; to something like: return '3.1.36.2.1.P'; Do you have some custom php function hooked to the action ‘action_hook_espresso_calendar_do_stuff’? It looks like there is a function hooked to that action running a query that is trying to use our constant for the event details table, but is not doing it right. We only have one function hooked to that action, and it is not doing anything with the database.

Well, we bought this product with the ignorance we could trust the advertisement that it’s perfect for organizations who don’t have tech folks…”out of the box” you said. I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I don’t have ANYTHING on anything other than what has always been there. I don’t even know how to add whatever you’re talking about, and no one else works on this. I did not activate the previous version, or if I did it’s not telling me I have updates available. I hate this thing. I don’t have time for all of this and we can’t afford to pay someone $75 an hour to sort it out. This product is NOT friendly to most users. |
Hi Wendeth, We are here to help. Do you have FTP access to this website? If so, you FTP in to your server and that’s how you can make the change to the espresso.php file. If not, do you have cpanel access? If so, there is an option within cpanel that lets you access the files on the website where you can make the edit that Sidney recommends trying. The file can be found in wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/ |
|
|
no idea what you’re talking about. I can get into the files I downloaded if that’s what you mean. but why am I having to do this??? shouldn’t your product work? why can’t you guys do this and send me the file to download. |
Hi Wendeth, I can’t say this for a certainty because I do not have all the facts, but the issues you are now experiencing may be related to the domain change that was made on your website. Changing domains can be tricky and if all the steps aren’t carried out properly it can affect the database ( for example some database settings that point to the old domain were not properly changed ) and cause issues. If you’d prefer to not edit the espresso.php file, you can download and upload the file that’s linked to below to /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso via FTP or your host’s control panel. If you don’t have access to the files on the server your web developer should have access. |
|
|
the domain change happened in September….NOTHING happened on this end to explain this. Customers were utilizing the plug in all the way up to the 16th. Then suddenly it quit working. If I thought for one second this was due to something on this end I’d not be so irritated. |
|
e.e. isn’t part of our web developer package, and therefore I do not have help with his. hence why your product advertising itself as “out of the box” and great for places who don’t have the time to work on this is just a flat out lie. |
|
After some discussion, we think that the error message I was referring to had to do with having the espresso-calendar add-on activated while the event-espresso plugin was deactivated. It may be we jumped the gun looking to that section of the error log as relating to the 500 error that was your original problem. |
Hi Wendeth, We are here to help. If you’d like to work with us we’ll work with you. |

http://www.foajonesboro.org/home/espresso_events/ is the page it happens on. when we only deactivated the event event espresso plug in (not any of the add ons) the page returns. For instance, right now I’ve got the e.e. deactivated and you can read the page script. As soon as I activate it the page disappears. |
|
If you have EE core deactivated, then you’ll want to deactivate all of the EE add-ons. I know Josh has already asked for ftp credentials in another thread, and that is going to be the easiest / fastest way to get to the underlying problem. It could be a conflict with another plugin or the theme, which is why as a diagnostic test, we ask that you deactivate all plugins and switch to the default WP theme and then activate just EE core. |
|
we are using e.e.3.1.36.3.P |
Hi Wendeth, This is because the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode is being placed within the event’s description. The [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode should only be placed one the page that processes the event registration. (in the page editor). You can fix this by going into the event editor and removing the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcodes that were added to the events’ descriptions. |
|
|
I guess I’m confused. We’ve always done it the same way and it’s never looked like this, nor do the other events….and I’m not sure I even understand what you’re saying I’ve done wrong. |
Hi there, Here are a few screenshots that may help clarify: main registration page: and event editor: Arrows in green means “this is good to go”. Arrows in red mean “this needs to be removed”. |
|
|
I get that you don’t want the code in the event description EXCEPT we’ve ALWAYS put it there and didn’t have this problem, it just showed up in the description. anyway, I just went through each one and removed it…and it hasn’t fixed the problem |
|
so here’s something else making things fun. I show two classes on my page, but not on the back end and your search hardly ever works even for classes I can find….any idea where those classes have gone? |
The holding several boxes within it problem looks fixed now. With the event not showing in the backend, can you try changing the filter status to show all events? |
