I am not sure this should have been marked as resolved.
Anyway, I decided to debug the plugins myself.

The “Recent Posts Widget Extended” plugin is calling the WP “get_the excerpt” function to retrieve or generate the post excerpts, and it is called correctly within “The Loop”. If a post has no custom excerpt, then one is generated from the post content using function wp_trim_excerpt, which filters the post content, named “the_content”.

The calendar plugin filters the event post content, and adds the filter “the_content” in function “render”, in file “/lib/http/response/render/strategy/html.php”.
The corresponding filter function is called “event_content”, also situated in this file, which inserts details of the event along with the regular post content. However, unlike the “append_content” filter function it does not check whether execution is in The Loop. By adding a check using WP function “in_the_loop”, the filter is prevented from returning the event contents whilst the post excerpts are being processed, and appears to solve the problem.

I hope I have not misunderstood anything. I would be grateful if you could pass this information on to your development team.

I tried disabling the plugins that would most likely affect the sidebar but there was no change. However the plugin that displays the recent posts/excerpts is “Recent Posts Widget Extended”, so most likely this is not working correctly with your Calendar plugin in the Events view. However it does work in the calendar page.

I would like to continue using the “Recent Posts Widget Extended” plugin so I guess the only solution is to turn the sidebar off in the event pages. Hopefully this conflict can be fixed in a later release.

I think the issue is that version 3.0.4 shows the default sidebars and what they have been replaced with. Version 3.0.6 does not show the default sidebars, only the replacements. I think I will disable the column as version 3.0.4 was clearer.

Selecting them as you described did cause them to be displayed twice in the Custom Sidebars column for version 3.0.4, but correctly for version 3.0.6. I thought those selections were only used to replace the default sidebars? Note that I am using the Divi builder to insert the sidebar. Thanks.

You may still be able to use the plugin by inserting the shortcode manually or using the icon in the text editor. It was only missing in the visual editor for me.

Sorry, version 3.0.6 does not fix the problem for me as well.

Version 3.2.2 works, thanks, although the Insert Page icon is still missing from the visual editor toolbar (as with version 3.1.9).

I hope this helps:

Sorry, it still does not work, the whole toolbar and text do not display in the visual editor and the text disappears when switching back to the text editor. Note that the Insert Page icon was only present in the text editor, even with previous versions.
