I’ve seen things like that on occasion; I don’t know exactly what triggers it.
You can completely avoid it by disabling stats collection in the settings.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Blocking Bots from over accessing?There’s nothing in the code; everything that can be done in the code is already there (nofollow, noindex, etc.). But the bots that are causing problems are largely AI crawlers, and they mostly ignore bot directions, causing these kinds of issues.
So yeah, pretty much robots.txt, server directives, and blocking IPs.
Yes; I made a dumb mistake in that release. The update is now out.
My Calendar’s relationship to Google is a “dumb” relationship; Google imports a list of events in My Calendar, and that should have *absolutely* no impact on any other events in your Google account. There’s no facility in that relationship for deletion – only adding. Hypothetically, if the GUID in the import matched one in your calendar, the event could be updated; but it wouldn’t be deleted.
So that sounds like a Google issue, to me.
Yeah, that doesn’t seem like a great translation…I’ll see if I can get somebody to change that. It’s not something I have access to update.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Show in User’s Time Zone?No, you’re not blind – it’s really just not very well documented.
There’s a template tag that outputs a
timeelement that will be manipulated using scripting to display the current user’s local time. In version 3.6, the options are{userstart}or{userend}. They show a full date/time string in the local time zone, and there isn’t a lot of flexibility.You can add those to custom templates, or to the title field in the display settings. In PHP templates, you can use the function
mc_template_tag( $data, 'userstart' );.Version 3.7 will ship with more options; there’ll be separate options for just getting the local date or local time, as well.

In reply to: [WP Accessibility] latest update breaks siteThanks for reporting! Can you tell me more about what you mean by “breaks” the site? I can see why this error is being generated, but I find it a little hard to see how it would break the site.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Location not showing Google MapFigured this out; it’s a straightforward bug: the default maptype wasn’t properly inherited.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] High CPU usageAI bots are definitely a major problem; they’ve been hitting a lot of sites *really* hard. I had one of my own sites have a similar problem last week – similar problem; overwhelming usage of the calendar. But it was clearly bots, and I took care of it mostly by editing
.htaccessrules and the readme file.You might find this useful: https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] upcoming events list displayIf the page crashed, that means there’s something wrong with the code you added. If you can share that snippet, it would be helpful.
There was a typo in the example on that page; I’ve now fixed it.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Cannot change calendar main pageMy Calendar should be searching pages when you do this query; but that was a bug that has already been fixed – is your version up to date?
Regardless, you don’t need to change the selected page to change the URL. Go to the current calendar page and edit the slug for the page.
Here’s a support thread that includes some details on that: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-page-link/
Thanks for reporting that. It’s a change I can consider making. It seems likely that’s something a lot of people might prefer.
I’ve opened an issue for this: https://github.com/joedolson/my-calendar/issues/657

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Location not showing Google MapThat is truly strange. I entered the information as I see it on your site in my own site, and it also failed there – though other locations work just fine.
It doesn’t have any connection to being the default location, based on my tests (and that would have been very surprising), but there seems to be something strange about *this* location.
I was able to get it to show by switching the Map Display Type to ‘roadmap’; something about the default map type wasn’t working for this location.
