I’ve got a category that displays the calendar at the head of the category view. I’ve now decided that my community should just use the “Upcoming events” view which displays a consolidated view of events across several categories.

When a member wants to view a specific category, I want them to see the events/topics without having to scroll below a calendar, so I removed the

[calendar][/calendar]

block from the About topic for the category. And I removed the calendar categories entry from Discourse Calendar settings.

Even after these actions, the calendar continues to show in the category view.

Reproduce

I stumbled across the bug in trying to remove the calendar having enabled the feature first. So I guess the steps for reproduction are:

  1. Setup calendar-and-events.
  2. Setup the category view such that the calendar is displayed at the head of the view.
  3. Create some events for the category.
  4. Disable the calendar view for the category.
