[Plugin: Editorial Calendar] No posts showing in Calendar

Hi Brett,

Thanks for using the Editorial Calendar. I’m sorry you’re having trouble with it.

Did something change on your blog between the time the calendar worked and when it stopped working? Have you installed or upgraded any other plugins or themes?

If you open the JavaScript console in your browser when the calendar is running do you see any errors there?

Thanks,
Zack

Hi Zack

Unfortunately I don’t recall if I updated any plugins. It’s quite possible that I did, but didn’t take much notice of what ones.

I haven’t installed any new plugins or themes. Or updated the theme.

I did disable the browser cache on the W3 Total Cache plugin, because of another issue I was having. And actually today I disabled W3 Total Cache to see if the browser cache change was affecting the Calendar, but there was no change.

And I set up a cron job to trigger wp-cron.php regularly.

There are no errors showing on the Calendar page. Just a lot of blank boxes which should have my posts in them.

… Out of curiosity I just added a new draft post via the Calendar. I can actually see that one sitting there all on its lonesome now.

… Oh wait… hang on a minute. I just logged out and logged back in again, and now I can see *Some* of the posts I should be able to see, but not all of them. There is a block of days with all their posts, and the other days have none of their posts. There are none with only some posts

… then I clicked on Posts, then back on Calendar, and all the ones that reappeared have disappeared again ??
But the new one I added via the Calendar still shows up.

… but then I click on that one, and drag it to a different day, click on Posts then back on Calendar, and it’s disappeared again.

There are no obvious error messages showing on the page

Strange things are afoot!!

Any chance I could log into your blog and take a look? You can make a new account for me. I just need Editor access. You can send it to me at zack [at] grossbart [dot] com.

Thanks,

I have done that Zack. You should get an email from my site. If not then please let me know. I notice that when I went in there that there were still some past days and some future posts (for today only) showing, but still man of the past posts missing. There should be more future posts being added soon.

Hi Brett,

I got the log in and poked around a little. Your error looks like this:

Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in <b>/home/onmobile/public_html/wp-includes/meta.php</b> on line <b>571</b>

…but I’m not sure what’s causing it. Running out of memory while getting the posts on your blog for a couple of weeks is very strange. The calendar doesn’t even get the contents of those posts until you click on them. That means we’re using a very large amount of memory to get a very small amount of data.

It’s also strange to see where the error is coming from. meta.php is the WordPress file that processes the meta information for posts list the publish date and author name.

The first thing I would try is making that backup and upgrading to the latest version of WordPress.

If that doesn’t solve the issue I would look at other plugins. Do you have any plugins that do fancy things with the header information for your posts? I would start by disabling those and seeing if it helps.

Good luck,
Zack

Thanks Zack.

I increased the memory limit and I can see all the posts now. I will do some investigation to see if I can work out what is hogging the memory

Brett

I’m glad you could find a working solution. Please let me know if you figure out the cause of the problem.

Thanks,
Zack

i have the same problem. not sure if memory hogging is the problem, but I am on shared hosting with pitiful resources.
