Bug #2017
closedEvents Manager Plugin conflict
0%
Description
Upon activating the Events Manager Plugin (feature #2007 http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/2007), the site on which it is activated (globalization.commons.gc.cuny.edu) is no longer accessible and all pages within the subdomain produce a HTTP 500 server error.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Activate Events Manager Plugin
2. "Activation" page does not load
3. Manual navigation to other pages within both wp-admin as well as the base domain are unsuccessful and result in a 500 server error.
Notes:
-I can't access the wp-admin pages to disable the plugin
-it appears that pages are attempting to automatically reload themselves but eventually time out on the server with a HTTP 500 error
-there is the possibility that the plugin is conflicting with existing database "junk" that is a remnant of previous plugins or an artifact from the initial database import from a single WP installation.
-I will attempt to install the plugin on a fresh site to see if it is site-specific.

Activating the plugin on a fresh site does NOT reproduce this error, so it is a site-specific conflict.
In addition to possible conflicts with other plugins, it is possible that the conflict is due to custom php added in the atahualpa theme configuration.

This is due to an unfortunate confluence of circumstances, which stems from a bug in the WordPress query class. Coincidentally, I reported this bug recently to WP and submitted a patch, which should be included in WP 3.5: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20904
For the moment, I've made a small change to the Events Manager plugin, in the form of a hotfix (which means it's live right now), which is a workaround for the problem. The website is accessible again.
Let me know if you have more problems, and thanks for your patience.
