Too many events showing in backend sidebar

    Hi,

    I’ve been using this plugin for many years without too many problems, but recently I am seeing something odd in the back end.

    Due to this whole Covid-19 thing killing off many events, I only have at present 7 future events listed, but over in the sidebar in Admin, the Events tab says there are 25 and it didn’t change at all when I was deleting events that had been cancelled.

    Any idea as to what may be causing that ??

    Kindest Regards

    Hi,

    have you tried the option under Events > Settings > General > Admin Tools > Database Cleanup > click “Remove Orphaned Events” ?

    That did the trick, I didn’t know that was there.

    Many Thanks

    @angelo_nwl, I seem to have this problem on one of my sites, too.

    The WP Admin sidebar was showing 9, but I’m not sure what that number actually represents. I did Remove Orphaned Events under Settings but it only got it to drop down to 5. Then I deleted the 4 items in my trash but it’s down to 1 in the sidebar but I’m still confused as to what that number actually means. I currently have the following: All (50) | Mine (3) | Published (48) | Drafts (2). What does the 1 come from?

    What is that number supposed to represent? I noticed it increments up when Event Form is submitted, then decrements down when the event is approved, then increments up again when that event is trashed. It seems like it’s a combination of Pending events, plus Trash events, but there’s something else.

    I’m just a bit confused as the number seems to indicate that 1 thing needs action but it’s not obvious on that page what needs to be fixed/addressed. Thanks in advance!

    @angelo_nwl, should I open a new post on this to get the answer or can it be answered here? Please advise.
