Hi Martha,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
I’ve ran some tests and couldn’t replicate the issue from here: if I use a shortcode like [tribe_events view=”month”] in a post, the Month View calendar is correctly displayed both in my blog list view and also in individual posts.
Regarding the missing “back link”, I believe that what you describe is change made to the events template by your current active theme Avada.
To confirm that it is a modification in the Avada template, can you please temporarily change your theme to a default one like Twenty Seventeen and verify if the issue persists after that? Also, please check if the shortcodes and embedded permalinks work as expected while having Twenty Seventeen enabled.
Let me know your test results.
If you have any other questions in the mean time, please let me know and I’ll be happy to assist!
Best regards,
Patricia
