I do have the original install zip file downloaded from WordPress if that helps but I couldn’t find a utility.php file in it.

Resolved!

Thanks, I’ve tried the Twenty Fifteen theme and the ghost event is still there, the trash folder is also empty.

As the site is getting on a bit now I think what I will do, rather than take up more of your time, is put up with it for now and create a new site with a fresh install of Events Manager (we are going to go Pro with this one) and clean install of WordPress. Really appreciate the time and effort you have put in to trying to resolve this. Many thanks, Jonathan

Apologies, it just shows ‘Saturday Morning Bike Ride’ and ‘Monday Night Swim’ none of the other 4 events show up there and not even the ghost version. The list of events can be seen on https://www.born2tri.com. The other link I sent before I think is not visible because the time set for booking closures I had set before it was deleted had passed but this one should still work. https://www.born2tri.com/wordpress/?event=friday-evening-coached-swim-technique-session-2016-02-05

I have checked and the ghost event has been deleted from both recurring events and events.

Thanks, Jonathan

Sorry, had a senior moment, I understand what you mean now, no the event isn’t displayed, if you look at this page (sorry I’m still very much learning how to do work with the plugin) https://www.born2tri.com/wordpress/?page_id=20856&view=future only two of the events are shown. Any ideas please? Thanks for your help.

Hi, no I don’t the see the event I’m afraid, the page is completely blank. Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks, I have created the new page and assigned it as you have suggested but I’m not sure what you mean by try to delete the ghost event in the front end? The event doesn’t exist in the Events plugin so I’m not sure what front end you mean? Sorry to be really dense but I’m not sure how I would do that. I have done all the steps right up to the delete from the front end and it’s not made any difference so you could provide some more guidance please? Thanks for your patience.

Hi, we are using Events Manager version 5.6.2 and WordPress version 4.4.1.

Hope this is of use, thanks, Jonathan

Thanks again for your help the link the event on the website is here: https://www.born2tri.com/wordpress/?event=friday-evening-coached-swim-technique-session-2016-01-29

which is on https://www.born2tri.com and this event is called Friday Evening Coached Swim Technique Session. This is currently one of two events on the 29th January one of which works and the other (the top one) doesn’t. Checking the ‘all events’ calendar the ‘ghost’ event appears every Friday as well as the right event.

I have checked and we don’t have any cache plugins installed. Many thanks, Jonathan

Thanks for your quick reply, to be honest I’m not sure where I’m looking to be able to delete it. I have wp adminer plugin installed but I really don’t know where to look for the events? Can you please point me in the direction of where I am supposed to be looking and I can take it from there? Presumably it will be in one of the PHP documents and if so I know what I’m doing when I get it open but I don’t know where to look.

Thanks again

Thanks very much, I’ll give that a go.

Yes that’s right. When the recurring event is deleted it still leaves all occurrences of the event left behind so when the ‘events’ link is clicked they are all there. I have been deleting them in batches per page of events using the mass action tool to delete them but if it’s possible to do this from the back end in the database or in file manager that would be a huge help.

Many thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

Thank you for your quick reply, much appreciated. I created events going up to 2025, is there a quick way of removing them from the database and if so in which folder/table would this be please? Sorry to drag this one out but if you can please advise I would be very grateful.
