Good afternoon Matt and welcome back!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We are sorry to hear that you can no longer properly interface with Visual Composer after Community Event’s latest update. I would love to help you with this topic.
As a first step, you could roll Community Events back to 4.3.2 to see if that helps: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/downgrading-plugin-past-version/
Secondly, could you see if checking the “Include events in main blog loop” box under Events -> Settings -> General helps with that ?
Best regards,
Geoff B.
