 * I updated to the most current version of this plugin thinking it might fix the
   problem but I am getting page unresponsive when the try to view my site. I have
   tried it with all plugins turned off but the events calendar and the default 
   theme and it still doesn’t work.
 * I have deactivated it and all is fine any ideas what could be causing it to lock
   up my website.
 * Thanks for your help

 * Can you add the following line to wp-config.php and copy the results back here?
 * `define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );`

 * I just get this – The connection was reset
 * The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
 *  The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that
   Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
 * I tried increasing my memory limit to 96M but that didn’t help either. The site
   only works when I turn off this plugin.

 * Does using a different browser change the results or is your network connection
   causing issues? This seems to be what the error is referring to.

 * I increased the memory to 256M and I tried it in multiple browsers and the same
   issue happens but when I turn off the plugin everything works fine

 * Can you post the system info from the Events Calendar Help tab? Can you share
   the site URL?
 * Also, can you let me know who your hosting company is and is it shared hosting?
   You might have to file a ticket with your web host and see if they can provide
   more info. The only real memory expense in this plugin would relate to how many
   categories you have and even that shouldn’t be significant.

 * Do you have this setup on a staging server? If yes, can you set WP_DEBUG to true
   and activate TECCC and provide a URL? If no, is there any way to set this up?

 * Unfortunately I can’t duplicate the issue on staging. I am not sure the problem
   I had to code a workaround without using the plugin.

 * It would seem then that the issue is related to you server setup. You might try
   to make sure your staging setup more closely represents your server; or rather
   your server most closely resembles staging. As you can see it makes debugging
   difficult.
 * Can you update your PHP version to 5.6.x? I don’t know if that will make a difference.
 * The “Query Monitor” plugin is a great tool for debugging any will tell you a 
   lot more about your environment.
 * I’m happy to help in anyway I can. I’ll leave this unresolved if you wish to 
   proceed.

 * Hey [@brightenyourview](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brightenyourview/),
 * Everything seems ok when I visit [this page](http://gkgrisk.com/gkg/gkguniversity)
   and browse through your events. Is there any particular URL I’d need to visit
   to see this and does it happen reliably?
 * To take a slightly different angle … are you consistently experiencing this in
   all browsers or just Firefox (and do you have any addons enabled in Firefox –
   can you try disabling them if so)?

 * Barry & Andy,
 * Thank you for all your input unfortunately I can’t spend anymore time debug this.
   I wrote some custom code to accomplish the same thing the plugin was doing to
   get around the issue. If I ever have time to revisit this I will post anything
   I discover that was causing my problem.

 * Sorry to hear that 🙁
 * Definitely let us know if you do need/want to take this up again, though.
