FAQ

  • "Why are there no past events in my Events block?" The Events block lists upcoming events only. Use the Calendar page or an Events terrace for past dates in a month view.
  • "Why does it only show 15 events?" That is the default Number of Events. Raise it in the block editor.
  • "Changes on the calendar are not showing." Save the block to refresh it, or wait for the hourly refresh. See Calendars and events.
