• Excited to try this out! I’ve added the Event Block to a Column Block, selected “When” to add the date, selected “Description” to add event description.

    However, “Where” is not clickable and I can’t add any location info.

    Are there plans to add time zone to “When” ? Time is not helpful without time zone info.

    Thank you for trying it out! Currently, the event block simply displays whatever is entered into it.

    The “Where” field is just plain text. You should be able to type freely after clicking on the placeholder text or tabbing into the field. I noticed that the cursor doesn’t show up after clicking on it in my browser—however, I was still able to type. If that’s the issue that you’re having, I can log the issue in the Gutenberg plugin since that’s where it would need to be fixed.

    The “When” field was intentionally left without a time zone to keep the plugin simple to use. The time entered will be the time displayed—no timezone is listed, so the assumption when reading it would be that the time zone would be based off of the location entered in the “Where” field. I realize that this can be confusing, for example, when you’re running an online event where people from multiple time zones would be attending. So I’d suggest, until the location and time can be improved in the plugin, to add relevant timezone information in the “Where” field or in the description.

    I can’t say when this feature will be worked on at this time, but hearing feedback like this helps us know which things are more important to users, so I appreciate the time spent trying it out and letting us know. ??

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for your response and explanation of the “Where” field. Changing the field so the cursor displays would be helpful to the user. Without the cursor displaying, I didn’t know I could enter info in the field.

    You’re right, without a time zone, the “When” is confusing.

    Another question, is there a limit to the amount of text that can be entered in the “Where” field?

    No length limit is imposed on any of the text fields

    I wonder if there is any way to customize thw css of the date field and to translate the when and where . It looks great but without translation i can’t use it if my site is not in english. I need it for french and hebrew. I use loco translate but it does not load the strings like other plugins do.I wonder if this will be in future. Thanks a lot and its so far exactly what i was searching for.

    Hi @susannetamir, your issue seems like a different topic from the one in this thread, so I copied and responded to it in a new one: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/translating-when-and-where-fields/#post-13233405. If you have any additional questions, you can respond in that thread
