Gutenberg bug

Here’s the original report in the Gutenberg GitHub repo https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/7662

Thanks, both — we’ll look into this.

Hey there,

Since this thread has been inactive for a while, I’m going to go ahead and mark it as resolved. Don’t hesitate to create a new thread any time you help again!

Ed ??

@erishel Inactive? We’re waiting on a response from your team. The bug has not been fixed yet in Events Calendar 4.6.20.1 or Gutenberg 3.3.0, therefore this is not resolved. Please mark it accordingly and don’t assume things are magically fixed by the passage of time.

@barryhughes-1 Have you spotted anything on your end that may shed some light on the cause of this issue?

Hi Tim,

I checked in on this, however it seems the team could not replicate. I did also try myself and, similarly, couldn’t see the problem. Here’s what I used:

• WordPress 4.9.7
• The Events Calendar 4.6.20.1
• Gutenberg 3.3.0

On visiting the post editor I had no difficulties accessing the category or tag sections (in the new/Gutenberg-powered post editor). I went on to add and test with Yoast SEO 7.9 as well as our own Gutenberg extension but still could not replicate.

Anything we’re missing here? When you noted that “When The Events Calendar is enabled, authors on the website can no longer access the Categories and Tags sections in the Gutenberg post edit sidebar” did you mean they were literally missing, or that they were unresponsive?

Any other notes you can share would be great as we don’t see the problem as yet.

Thanks!

Thanks Barry! How strange that you are not able to reproduce it… I’ve tried with three different WordPress installs here, both live and staging. When I, logged into an Author account, start a new Gutenberg post, the categories and tags sections are literally missing from the sidebar. There are no other plugins active except The Events Calendar and Gutenberg. Disabling it and refreshing the current post as author immediately brings back the missing sections.

Here’s a screenshot: the top image is when viewing the post as admin, or as author with The Events Calendar disabled, and the bottom image is when The Events Calendar is enabled and you edit the post as author. And I don’t mean author as in “the person set as the writer of the post”, but a user account with the role “Author”. Any user role above author doesn’t have this problem.

I do apologize, though you stated it right at the start of this topic I completely blanked the need to test as an author. I do see this, bear with us a little longer.

The team report this should be resolved, so long as the latest versions of all relevant plugins are used. Do let me know if your experience is otherwise ??

Hey Barry, I can confirm it’s fixed! Thanks for looking into it.
