 * Hi,
 * Along with a couple of others on here it seems, I am having significant problems
   with TEC v6.15.x and TECP v7.7.7
 * 503 Errors on the front end with PHP Fatal errors in the log files:
 * [STDERR] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried
   to allocate 10485760 bytes) in /home/domain/domains/domain.co.nz/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/common/vendor/vendor-prefixed/stellarwp/
   shepherd/src/Abstracts/Task_Model_Abstract.php on line 251
 * and
 * [STDERR] WordPress database error Table ‘domain_wp113.wpbf_shepherd_tec_task_logs’
   doesn’t exist for query DELETE FROM `wpbf_shepherd_tec_task_logs` WHERE `task_id`
   IN (32) made by do_action(‘wp_ajax_nopriv_as_async_request_queue_runner’), WP_Hook-
   >do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, WP_Async_Request->maybe_handle, ActionScheduler_AsyncRequest_QueueRunner-

   Common\StellarWP\DB\DB::runQueryWithErrorChecking, TEC\Common\StellarWP\DB\DB::
   TEC\Common\StellarWP\DB{closure}, call_user_func_array
 * The site grinds to a halt and makes any sort of troubleshooting impossible unless
   I deactivate the two plugins.

 * Hi [@martyyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martyyn/) ,
 * Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention.
 * Our products team are aware of this issue and currently working on addressing
   it.We prioritize bugs by taking into consideration the number of users impacted
   as well as how the bug impacts one’s ability to run an event/sell tickets. I 
   don’t have a specific timeline as to when this issue will be resolved, but trust
   that our team is aware.
 * Our team communicates updates and bug fixes in our [newsletter](https://theeventscalendar.com/newsletter-signup/)
   and via our [changelog](https://theeventscalendar.com/category/release-notes/).
   In the meantime, since this is affecting your ability to work with The Events
   Calendar, the recommendation is to downgrade to a prior version of the plugin(
   see [Accessing and Installing Older Plugin Versions](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/accessing-older-plugin-versions/)).

 * Hi [@martyyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martyyn/)
 * If you haven’t tried it yet, please clear your `_shepherd_tec_tasks` table from
   your database and add the following snippet, and see if it alleviates the issue
   you’re having:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_action( 'init', function () {     remove_action( 'init', [ tribe( TEC\Common\StellarWP\Shepherd\Regulator::class ), 'schedule_cleanup_task' ], 20 ); } );
       ```
   
 * If you’re not familiar with coding, you can use the [Code Snippets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/)
   plugin, which removes the need to add custom snippets to your theme’s functions.
   php file.
 * As always, please test this first on a [staging site](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/)
   before applying it to your live site.
 * If it doesn’t work for you, another workaround is to downgrade to The Events 
   Calendar 6.14.2
 * Let me know how it goes.

 * Hi Darian
 * Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I can back to over 100k records 
   in the shepherd_tec_tasks table so have deleted them again and have updated to
   6.15.12.2
 * So far the site appears to be running as normal but I’ll keep and eye on the 
   table for the next couple of days and will come back with a final verdict on 
   the new version.
 * Thank you.
