Can No Longer "Edit Upcoming Events" only

[Kelly]

Every time I update upcoming events, I get a pop-up that says are you sure. This can’t be undone. I got sick of seeing this, and checked the box at the bottom of the popup that I THOUGHT meant “stop asking me this darn question”. Apparently, it must have really said “Stop allowing me to update all upcoming events”. Because now, when I try to select that option, nothing happens. I can still Edit All, but that changes past events too. which I do not always desire to do.
Please advise how I can undo the damage I have done.

Howdy Kelly,

I would love to help you with this. It sounds like you are using Google Chrome, and you saw a box underneath the popup message that said “prevent this page from creating additional dialogues”. When you checked this box, Chrome prevents the page from asking you further questions. But this has the side effect of no longer allowing you to edit upcoming.

To fix this, close your tab and then reopen the WP admin edit page. Chrome will forget the setting, and the page will resume working. Does that fix it as expected?

I am sorry for the inconvenience here. That popup is not ideal, and was just a necessarily quick solution to a different problem. We would like to revisit it an improve things so you don’t need a popup if possible.

Cheers!

– Brook
