# Error on generating content

 * I’m trying to evaluate the Newsletter Plugin but any attempt to use it throws
   a generic error modal. The only content of the modal is ‘error’. I’ve disabled
   all other plugins other than Akismet and Events Calendar & Events Calendar Pro
   but no dice. Same error.
 * From the logs it might be a problem with recurring events.
 * Here are the error logs —
 * PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: TEC\Events_Pro\Custom_Tables\V1\Updates\

 * Hi [@dharrod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dharrod/) !
 * Thanks for the message. Yes, it does appear to be some data that isn’t formed
   correctly with one or more recurring events when we try to fetch it (using the
   function they provide to do so). While we don’t maintain and didn’t create The
   Events Calendar PRO, we can try to pass along details to them. Alternatively 
   you can open a support ticket with them here:
 * [https://theeventscalendar.com/support/](https://theeventscalendar.com/support/)
 * From speaking with someone at StellarWP (makers of The Events Calendar), there
   might be something corrupted in the rule data. If they are able to get the `_EventRecurrence`
   data for that event, it would give them some more insight. Is that something 
   you’re able to provide?
 * Cheers!
