I have the plugin set up correctly (used the AI to go over everything) and the calendar is showing in the category above posts, but when you create a new post the option to add an event isn’t there. Is there a known bug? Or a setting that the AI/instructions don’t cover?

Wrong +! Try the other one. [Screenshot 2026-02-22 at 11.30.47 PM] It is a bit weird that they are ‘inside’ posts.

Can you share the contents of the post that you’re using?

Yeah that does not look right. It should look more like this, as far as I know: [event start="2026-01-01 01:01" recurrence="every_week" end="2026-01-01 02:01" allowedGroups="group_name" reminders="notification.15.minutes"] [/event] What AI tool are you using, is it our AI bot?

[image] long: [calendar] [/calendar] You pop that in the OP when using it ‘per-Reply’ within a Topic with a dedicated calendar - this means that you simply drop a ‘Insert date/time’ into the reply, and it will appear in that calendar. The Staff Calendar is a great example of this. If you are using it ‘per-Topic’ with a Category (or site-wide) calendar, you add an Event (from the composer + menu) in the OP of each Topic. The option to do so doesn’t appear in replies by design. The settings are quite confusing (especially which applies to which approach): [image] Discourse Calendar and Events Plugin Well, here is where the plugin is a bit messy. And that is mostly due to its history. It started out life as a plugin which enabled Topic calendars. In this case, every reply on the Topic was an event (if it included a date/time). The Holiday calendar is a great example / use-case of this. Subsequently, the ability to turn the OP of a Topic into an Event (displayed on a sitewide calendar) was bolted on; this has the somewhat odd name of discourse_post_event. This can be controlled per Categor…

[calendar] [/calendar] [image] nat: [event start="2026-01-01 01:01" recurrence="every_week" end="2026-01-01 02:01" allowedGroups="group_name" reminders="notification.15.minutes"] [/event] Yes that bot

Yeah, I’m lost. My brain is in a pretzel. Got the calendar to show up in the category but that is as far as I can get.

I suggest forgetting about this: [calendar] [/calendar] And simply start a new Topic in that Category, using the Create event in the ‘+’ dropdown on the right of the composer bar. You should then be away.

The “create event” doesn’t show up. Just the same “new message” as a regular category: [Screenshot 2026-02-22 at 11.30.47 PM]

AHHHHHH!!! Thank you so much. I was pulling my hair out.
