 * Hey Erich,
 * I really appreciate you taking the time to report a suspected bug.
 * I wanted to reach out and ask you: is this now fixed when you run the latest 
   versions of our plugins? I just retested for this issue, and another team member
   did as well. On both our systems the message is now displaying as expected.
 * You mentioned the /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/List_Widget.
   php file. At least on current versions of the plugin, the $no_upcoming_events
   variable will soon get overriden after the lines you mentioned. They will be 
   overridden by the two extract() functions that get called, which of course will
   redeclare any variables passed. Thus, the line you added should not be needed
   on current versions of the plugin.
 * Please let us know if you have any questions. Cheers!

 * Howdy Kishores,
 * I wanted to thank you for sharing that fix here. I also wanted to add that this
   fix is inside of a theme view file, namely the `/tickets/orders-link.php` file.
   Thus, anyone who wants to apply this fix to their plugin can do so without modifying
   the plugin. You can instead create a [theme override](http://m.tri.be/r5) and
   put it inside your theme, then modify that to include this fix.
 * Further more, for some reason this bug was never logged inside of our bug tracker.
   🙁 I have just now logged it, and given it a higher priority than average because
   of the delay. Thank you for patience, and helping others with this issue!

 * Thank you for all of this information! It is extremely helpful.
 * We have a number of testers on Windows, but we’re all running Apache. At the 
   moment we are spinning up a shared IIS server we can use for testing. Hopefully
   we will be able to quickly isolate this once we can reproduce it ourselves.
 * For those of you who haven’t mentioned it yet, what version of IIS are you running?
 * Cheers!

 * I wonder if this could be a max_path issue? Could you guys share the full path
   to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder? It might be something like:
 * `C:\Inetpub\vhosts\example.com\httpdocs\wp-content\plugins\`
 * The Settings_Manager.php file is included in two locations:
 * `/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/common/src/Tribe/Settings_Manager.php`
 * And:
 * `/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/vendor/tickets/common/src/Tribe/Settings_Manager.
   php`
 * What happens if you delete this folder:
 * `/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/vendor/tickets/common/`
 * Does the issue go away, or perhaps a new error crops up?

 * Howdy Again Wilhelm,
 * We have tested with a large number of filters and databases. WP does at times
   get exponentially more expensive the more meta queries you have, which is due
   to the joins. There is certainly some room for improvement, you will see [issues like this](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30044)
   that have yet to be patched in core. When those are patched our plugin will run
   faster.
 * This leaves us with a few options:
    - Stop doing things the “WordPress way”. But we are unlikely to do that.
    - Use hooks in WPDB to speed up the queries where possible. We do this with 
      The Events Calendar and it is a huge pain, it’s also the cause of a few plugin
      conflicts.
    - Wait until core gets patched
 * Right now we are going with the third option. And until then anyone needing to
   run larger data sets needs a server powerful enough to handle the joins. Running
   InnoDB as your storage engine and tuning it to store more of database in memory
   can have a huge impact on the speed. This basically means that large databases
   will not do well on shared servers, but can still run very fast on a properly
   tuned server where you have control of what goes in memory. Just choose a VPS
   or better with the appropriate amount of power for your database, typically even
   a cheap one will be enough.
 * Cheers!
    – Brook

 * Sorry for the delay! To be extremely frank APM is a little neglected. It was 
   written by one of our senior developers for his own purposes years ago. He saw
   how it would benefit our biggest plugins, The Events Calendar, so it got included
   with that plugin for a while. When he moved on to different projects we sort 
   of took over maintaining it. But it is not quite written how our dev team would
   like, and many have said it’s difficult to maintain. So it gets a bit neglected,
   especially now that it’s not included with the other plugins and must be installed
   separately.
 * If you are interested in submitting some features for code review we would love
   that! [https://github.com/moderntribe/advanced-post-manager](https://github.com/moderntribe/advanced-post-manager)
   That’s certainly the best way to see new features get added. If you submit a 
   pull request it will get reviewed.
 * > When do you plan the CSV export ?
 * There are no plans that I am aware of, nothing logged anywhere. That might be
   a relic from APM’s original developer.
 * > Can we continue discussion by email maybe ?
 * I would love to find a way to communicate faster. This forum gets so few posts
   in it anymore that we only check it so often. Please feel free to email support(
   a) TheEventsCalendar (.) com . We actually are not oufitted to answer plugin 
   support or dev questions via email, that email is only for help with accessing
   TheEventsCalendar.com accounts. However, if you are planning to submit a feature
   or two for code review I can hook you with up a free “developer license”. This
   will give you access to our forums over there, which we check every day. We can
   provide you with a higher level of support, the sort suited to plugin developers
   who love to write code. Just reference this thread in your email and I’ll take
   it from there.
 * Please do let me know if you have any more questions. If you would like to continue
   the conversation here that works great too, whatever is best for you.
 * Cheers!

 * Sorry for the delayed response Lemonberry. We missed your post here. 🙁 We are
   not able to offer support on this forum for [Event Tickets Plus](http://m.tri.be/etp)
   because that is not a wordpress.org forum — and the forum rules here restrict
   everyone to supporting only plugins that are available here.
 * If you need help with [Event Tickets Plus](http://m.tri.be/etp) would you mind
   opening a topic on [The Events Calendar: Premium Support Forums](http://m.tri.be/rg)?

 * Howdy dkl,
 * Deleting the plugin should not remove your settings. So you should be able to
   safely do that.
 * WordPress often recommends backing up your database when you’re upgrading. If
   you are deleting and installing a different version it would be advisable to 
   backup, just to be on the safe side of things. But it is almost never actually
   needed.
 * Cheers!

 * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/following-links-into-infinite-space/#post-8150246)
 * Howdy tva,
 * That’s a good question. We have been considering some ways to revise this depending
   on which views you have enabled. We would like to continue sticking as close 
   to WP standards as possible, using nofollow where WP does on archive pages and
   using noindex similarly.
 * Our primary thing we are looking at is adding rel=”nofollow” to the < a > links
   themselves in specific circumstance. We would like to trim the amount of pages
   that get followed as much as we can. But we can not do it wholesale, as you thought
   might work, without a detrimental impact to SEO. SEO is our top consideration
   here. So we are reviewing the possibilities and trying to come up with something
   that keeps SEO top notch, while still limiting the pages crawled.
 * Thanks for taking the time to suggest improvements! We really appreciate it.
 * Cheers!

 * Howdy Jennifer,
 * Without linking to your site I don’t think anyone will be able to provide you
   the exact CSS you’ll need.
 * One feature about [Events Calendar PRO](http://m.tri.be/ra) that we don’t show
   very prominently is its color customizer. You can set the colors of most things
   on the calendar just by clicking the Customize button in the WP Toolbar. But 
   without Events Calendar Pro you can still write custom CSS and do it that way
   of course. 🙂
 * Cheers!

 * Howdy Rob,
 * Thanks for taking the time to reach out with your suggestion!
 * We typically keep logic in those templates to a minimum that way they are easier
   to work with and customize for laymen. In the interest of being up front and 
   transparent, I don’t think this is something we would be keen to add to our plugin
   for all users/themes.
 * I’m sure you know this already, but you can override that file with your own 
   copy inside of your theme folder. If you place the check inside of your overriden
   copy, the issue should go away. Have a look at the [Themer’s Guide](http://m.tri.be/r5)
   for more info. At least for now this would be how to make things compatible with
   Roots Sage.
 * Does that all make sense?
 * Cheers!

 * Howdy hkarlos,
 * That is not yet possible. We are working on adding that though. It is a surprisingly
   complicated thing to build, but work on it has already begun and will likely
