Hello yogadevo,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
I guess we can start with the list view displaying events issue and then tackle the “Join” wording after that.
When updating, what was the previous version of The Events Calendar that you had active? Also, are both The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar Pro plugins updated to the latest versions (3.7)? Additionally, which version of WordPress are you running.
If none of these are the case, do you mind running through the procedures listed within our Testing for Conflicts document? This will further help us in finding out what the event display issue is.
Let me know if any of this helps.
Thanks!
