Hey Tim,
Thanks for reaching out! Sorry you are having this issue. Indeed, you are not the only one. We are aware of the importance of this, we already have an internal ticket for the issue. I’ll add your thread to it to give it more push.
Meanwhile the only workaround is to downgrade to version 4.1 of the plugins. You can find these older versions under your Downloads in your account at theeventscalendar.com.
Let me know if you have any followup questions.
Cheers,
Andras
