    I just came to this thread having spotted Amazonbot is currently trying to trawl for events way into the future, 

    GET /events/tag/<something>/list/?tribe-bar-date=2283-05-30

    Which if I’m not wrong is for events scheduled in the year 2283. I doubt anybody plans events that far into the future.

    Its previous query was

    GET /events/tag/<something>/list/?tribe-bar-date=?tribe-bar-date=2283-04-29

    so it looks like it’s crawling monthly, but I can’t find that my site is ever giving out ?tribe-bar-date links once it’s got to the end of the list of events. The “Next Events” button is disabled, and there’s no A tag on it.

    I’ve worked out what’s causing this

    the wp_{prefix}wfconfig table has name, val pairs

    and it seems that there’s a large binary blob that is stored as name=’wfsd_engine’, on my system it’s 811675 bytes long.

    And it’s frequently appended to this, and it never changes.
    I had 447 identical entries in there, which might be a daily update causing it.

    By the look of the code, it never looks at more than one row when it calls get_ser().

    I deleted 446 of the surplus identical copies of this with no obvious ill-effect

    in my example, it was

    delete from wp_{prefix}_wfconfig where name=’wfsd_engine’
    limit 446

    and it appeared to have no ill-effect, but it doesn’t stop the problem re-occurring.
