Any Way to work in either of these?

or

Ideally the query would get cached and reused by all visitors for 10-15 minutes, even if the visitor goes back to page 1.

Something else has popped up that is causing me a headache. If the list is sorted by random, the pagination seems to be random as well.

Places show up multiple times through out the pagination, and it appears that some might be missing because the total amount of listings is correct.

This does not seem to be the case when sorted A-Z

Forgot to mention, I found this in gdevents_hooks_actions.php, but wasn’t sure how to attack it.

// add date to title for resurring event
function geodir_event_title_recurring_event( $title, $post_id ) {
	global $post, $geodir_date_format;
	
	// Check recurring enabled
	$recurring_pkg = geodir_event_recurring_pkg( $post );
	
	if ( !$recurring_pkg ) {
		return $title;
	}
	
	if ( !empty( $post ) && !empty( $post_id ) && isset( $post->ID ) && $post->ID == $post_id && isset( $post->post_type ) && $post->post_type == 'gd_event' && !empty( $post->is_recurring ) ) {
		
		$current_date = date_i18n( 'Y-m-d', time());
		$current_time = strtotime($current_date);
		
		if ( !empty( $post->event_date ) && geodir_event_is_date( $post->event_date ) ) {
			$event_start_time = strtotime(date_i18n( 'Y-m-d', strtotime($post->event_date)));
			$event_end_time = isset($post->event_enddate) && geodir_event_is_date($post->event_enddate) ? strtotime($post->event_enddate) : 0;
			
			if ($event_end_time > $event_start_time && $event_start_time <= $current_time && $event_end_time >= $current_time) {
				$title .= ' - ' . date_i18n( $geodir_date_format, $current_time );
			} else {
				$title .= ' - ' . date_i18n( $geodir_date_format, strtotime( $post->event_date ) );
			}
		} else {
			if ( is_single() && isset( $_REQUEST['gde'] ) && geodir_event_is_date( $_REQUEST['gde'] ) && geodir_event_schedule_exist( $_REQUEST['gde'], $post_id ) ) {
				$title .= ' - ' . date_i18n( $geodir_date_format, strtotime( $_REQUEST['gde'] ) );
			}
		}
	}
	return $title;
}

Looks like the latest VC updates resolves the issue.
