Google Search Results Adding Events to Post Description

Hello,

We are working on some fixes for that in our next feature release. There shouldn’t be any structured data showing for the widget, we are limiting that to single-event pages only. It sounds like the widget is causing this on your posts.

You can modify the widget to strip out the rest of that data, or add in what you’re missing if you prefer. Have a look at the Themer’s Guide. It walks you through modifying the PHP templates so you change things like that.

Nico has a guide here to help in core:

And in Pro this might work:

I hope that info helps. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am happy to say we’re working on a fix.

I have the same problem.

Had to remove the “Event-list” widget from all posts pages.

I see many people experiencing with this bug – and I wish some of the plugin’s author will finally give some serious answer for this.

Hello Brian,

I see a similar issue.

I am trying out Events Calendar and looking to upgrade to Pro. I added an upcoming Events Widget to my blog posts. now, when I do google search and my blog post comes up in results, it shows upcoming events right under the blog post result. Moreover, the URL for those events points to blog itself, not actual events. This is not something I want to happen.

I removed the widget from my blog posts, but events still who up under blog posts in Google still appear. How long does it take to refresh results?

Thank you,
Greg
