 * Hello,
 * I am having a conflict with EM and visual composer. With visual composer on, 
   when I click the events tab in the dashboard I get a 500 / blank white page (
   depends on the browers) All the other links (add an event, event tags etc)work
   fine.
 * I would really like to use both of these plugins on my site. Have an suggestions?
 * Thanks,
 * K

 * hi,
 * just to narrow down the problem and help us debug the issue is it possible to
   try the following temporarily:
 * – deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this
   works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(
   s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems

 * This is making me crazy!!
 * The plugin that is not playing nicely is Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer 
   By Brainstorm Force. With it on I get the out of memory error (changed browsers)
 * There is nothing in the error logs. I’ve re-uploaded wp core files (Just in case)
 * OK just tried switching to default theme and the plugins work fine. So it is 
   something between the theme and ultimate hosing up EM
 * Thanks

 * These are probably issues you’d need take up with developer of the theme / plugin.
 * That said, these types of problems are usually caused by the sort or problem

 * I have been working on this site for over a month (its a huge re-do… so now I
   am freaking out) and the issue just started. Why would it take a month?

 * I have in the past…..
 * I’ve noticed a pattern with the problem. After I have been working on the site
   for a bit, I get the error. It only happens with EM. I can work on anything else
   on the site. I couldn’t get to the site for a few days and I was able to work
   on events for a little while then got the error again. (like some cache or something
   needed to clear out???) The rest of the site, I could work on and update. Sometimes
   I can see the event list, sometimes not. I can open the other EM links, enter
   stuff but get the error when I hit save/update.
 * Here’s the error
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted(
   tried to allocate 17189212 bytes) in /home/blabla/public_html/i4/wp-includes/

 * OK… I switched to default theme and deactivated all plugins except em and still
   had the problem (the memory error only happens with em. I can work in every other
   part of the site)
 * I walked away for a few hours… then it was working again.
 * While it was working I cleaned house. I have 10 active events. I deleted about
   10 draft events and about 10 locations. A while ago I installed the plugin Optimize
   Database after Deleting Revisions. Ran it. The last thing I had last night was
   a blank screen and had to force my pc to shut down. (???!!!)
 * This morning I ran the optimizer and removed 50M! It seems to be working well
   at this point, but I have not tried reactivating the plugins.

 * Update… problem solved. It was NOT em. I was using a theme (that was really awesome…
   kicked butt and took names later)that used visual composer and a million other
   things.
 * Got rid of the theme and we are back in business.
 * Thanks for your time and great plugin!
