Title: A shadow event… Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # A shadow event… * Resolved [pif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pif/) * (@pif) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/) * Hello, * I am using v5.4.4. of Wp-events. * I noticed a few days ago that the counter of events to be published, waiting for reviews, is different on the side column than in the plugins’ lists. * In other words, the side colum displays a “1”, noticing me that an even is awaiting approval. But when I check the waiting events, there are none. * Any idea how to fix this ? :-/ * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 26 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/page/2/?output_format=md) * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110096) * Hi, * I’m not 100% sure what you mean. Which side column do you mean? * Thread Starter [pif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pif/) * (@pif) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110127) * The left menu column. * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110147) * Ah, you mean in Admin? * Are your sure you’re not looking at a page using the “wrong” filter? I mean something like having the filter set to _Future Events_ instead of _All Events_? Or something like that… * Thread Starter [pif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pif/) * (@pif) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110218) * Good idea. I checked, but it doesn’t seem to be the issue. * I currently have a number “3” in the admin panel. When I hit events listing, I see that “pending events” displays the number “2”. When I check these events, only two events are displayed. I checked : they are all here (All events). * [Philip John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philipjohn/) * (@philipjohn) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110252) * Hiya, * First of all, can you try updating to the latest version please? I believe we’ve seen this before and so it may have been fixed in the latest version. * Thanks, Phil * Thread Starter [pif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pif/) * (@pif) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110254) * Unfortunately, we cannot upload new versions on the main server, we first need to check that everything is working fine in dev platforms. * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110268) * Do you have an offline / dev server you could run a check on? * I’m thinking you could export / import the database of the site with the problem to see if it still appears with the latest version of Events Manager. * Thread Starter [pif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pif/) * (@pif) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110269) * Yes, that’s what we will end up doing. I was hoping for a quicker fix, maybe a known issue, or like you said, some setting overlooked.

As you can see I have 124 events, which also shows from the admin. * This is the published future events (22 events) [http://i.imgur.com/JvMVb3y.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/JvMVb3y.jpg) * This is the publihsed past events (102 events) * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/cVjzIMk) * Plugin Author [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * (@netweblogic) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110384) * Thanks for the info, but unfortunately this doesn’t help… what I need is access to a site that reproduces this consistently, because aside from one-offs on individual sites we simply can’t reproduce this. * There is however some hope now… a user has submitted a site that I can now reproduce a similar problem with locations. I’m not sure it’s the same problem with events( or if it’s even exactly this problem, because it’s creating duplicate locations), but once I figure the reason behind it I can see if it could affect events too. * [Beee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beee/) * (@beee) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110389) * I can give you access to my site, no prob… * Plugin Author [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * (@netweblogic) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-shadow-event/#post-4110393) * if you can reproduce this problem, then yes that’d be helpful.
