Good evening David and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the video embeds being converted into events! This was certainly unintended.
I would love to help you with this topic.

There is a glitch with oEmbed objects that was unfortunately released in version 4.2+ of our Pro add-on.
We apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused.

The good news is that you have 2 workarounds available:

1. Rolling back to version 4.1.3 of Pro from your downloads page: https://theeventscalendar.com/my-account/downloads/ until the bug is fixed.
2. Using the following snippet in your theme’s functions.php file: https://git.io/vo5f9

The only downside to the second solution is that it’s not “retroactive”. You will need to re-save your content on the broken pages for the snippet to kick in.

The other good news is that we are working on a fix for our next maintenance release. Unfortunately, I cannot commit to a release date at this point. But stay tuned, you will be contacted when fix is released.

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Hey there,

We wanted to follow-up to let you know that we were able to patch this up in The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO 4.2.2, which are both now available to download and install if you haven’t done so already.

Please do be sure to check out our release notes for a full overview of what’s new in the release and feel free to let us know if you run into this or any other issues after the update.

Thanks so much for your patience while we worked on this!

Cheers,
Geoff
