Event not found inside the database

    I used a duplicator plugin to copy an event I had published in order to edit it and use it again. Whenever I try to publish the duplicated event, I get a message saying the event is not in the database. It shows up in my list of events as a draft though it has no slug associated with it. If I try to add the slug and hit update, I get the same “not in database” error message. If I try to delete the draft event, same error. It is like a ghost event that won’t go away!

    Hi,

    I’m not sure how “Duplicator” plugin works, but we have the option “Clone” below each event, have you tried this option?

    I haven’t tried that Clone option. I will do that next time. The duplicator plugin uses that same terminology so I thought it was the same.

    I ended up going into the WordPress tables and deleting the rows corresponding to the “ghost” events in the posts table. While mucking around, I noticed the table All-In-One created and uses and I *think* the problem was that the duplicator plugin simply didn’t create an entry in that table when it duplicated the event. (It only duplicated the rows in posts and postmeta.)

    I’m probably not naming everything quite right as I’m working from memory and only know enough about the wordpress table structure to be dangerous.

    Anyway, thanks for pointing out the “clone” option – I’ll use that in the future.

    No problem, glad I could help.

    Take care,
