Hi, I use WordPress 5.4.1 with theme Primer version 1.8.9 and The Events Calendar version 5.1.2
I also use Molongui Authorship version 4.0.8., a plugin to display an author box in posts.
I always use Classic Editor to create events, they look far better than Gutemberg Blocks Editor. And default Page template.
I don’t know when (probably after an update) the author box started to display in events.
I deactivate all plugins and switch to an unaltered WordPress theme (Twenty Sixteen). Then I enable Gutenberg Blocks Editor to create and publish an event, and later made some testing. Results:
- With Gutenberg Blocks Editor disabled and default Event template selected, the author box is displayed.
- With Gutenberg Blocks Editor enabled and default Event template selected, the author box has gone, but also the featured image and the boxes with event details at the end of the page.
- With Gutenberg Blocks Editor disabled and default Page template selected, the author box is displayed again.
- With Gutenberg Blocks Editor enabled and default Page template selected, two author boxes are displayed.
Also found that old events (created with Classic Editor) have issues:
- With Gutenberg Blocks Editor enabled or disabled and default Event or Page template selected, the author box is displayed.
Hope this helps.
I’ll try to downgrade and see if that fix the issue.
