[Plugin: Events Manager] Events gone – how to import them back?

    I also had trouble updating to 5.0.42 (though I am pretty sure I did not update from a 4.x version) and my events did not show up, but were still in my sql-database. I also got the message “Events Manager upgrade still in progress …” in a red box.

    Without investing any thoughts I deleted the plugin und reinstalled it. Of course, now I had no more events then before and even the tables in the database were gone.

    So I now imported them from a backup, but still I have no events showing in my wordpress backend and frontend. Also I still get the message “Events Manager upgrade still in progress …”

    Any idea how I can reconnect my database to your plugin (since I have not written here before, I think, I have to say it is an awesome plugin!)

    Thx a lot, Simon

    Just to add this information: I do see the post_id in the wp_em_events-table and it does point to posts in wp_posts with that same ID.

    Hello agelonwl

    thx for the link – I had read that post before, but am afraid this is not my problem, since

    – I did not upgrade from version 4.x
    – I do have the column called post_id and
    – my database table names do not contain any capitals

    Do you still think the solution could be helpful in my case?

    Is this a fresh install or an upgrade from version 5? and since you have a backup maybe you can try that tutorial.

    I had tried the automated update from a version 5.x as I tried to describe above, but then all my events were gone. So I deleted the plugin altogether, did a fresh install of 5.0.42 and found out, that by deleting the plugin my sql tables had disappered, too. So I imported those from a database-backup and now I am sitting here with the fresh install of the plugin, the tables in my sql-database, but no events showing and the red box saying “Events Manager upgrade still in progress …”

    I have read that post as well (as I have read a lot of other posts related), but as far as I understood nobody over there really lost all his events and reimported them in their database. That is my problem.

    I posted this new post, because I had the impression it is a new kind of problem I am facing – don’t you think?

    check your php error logs, do they give any indication as to why it’s not finishing the upgrade?

    I have now tried a combination of the solutions mentioned above in those two links and am running sersion 5.0rc1 now. It seems everything is back working now after a few tries. Not having the guts to try the update once again, though …

    may be worth deactivatings your plugins first before updating, maybe one of them are causing the problem.
