Delete all events

    I’d like to delete all events and re-import. I tried emptying the em_events data table in phpmyadmin, then deleting it, then replacing with a new table, but the old events are still showing on the website (front and back end). I don’t have any caching plugins installed. Not sure why the events are not getting replaced.

    There are almost 3,000 events with another 2,000 as drafts, so manually deleting them won’t work. I don’t want to delete and re-install the plugin because I don’t want to lose all my settings.

    I deleted the plugin and made sure it was removed from the plugins folder. I deleted the corresponding data tables (all staring with em_). I re-installed the plugin and replaced the data tables with updated events. The old events are still showing on the site. I added a new event via the event manager plugin and it displayed on the site and it is also displaying in the data table. However, when I added a new event to the data table, it is not displaying on the site. It’s like the plugin has a memory that it won’t let go of! HELP! I don’t understand why it won’t sinc with the data table.

    I found out how to really wipe the plugin out – in settings. Other issue of data table updates not being reflected on the website is still an issue.

    The correct way to delete events is through the admin area. Events data isn’t only stored in the em_* tables it’s also stored in the wp_posts table.

    You would need to delete entries in that table that have the type set to event. Making a backup before deleting anything further would be a good idea.
