Hi there 
For sites that rely heavily on the Upcoming Events page, many community members prefer a weekly view by default. Currently, /upcoming-events always loads the Month view first, even if a user prefers Week (or Day, Year).
Feature request
Add a simple admin site setting to configure which view /upcoming-events loads by default:
upcoming events default view:
- /upcoming-events/month (current default)
- /upcoming-events/week
- /upcoming-events/year
Why this matters
- Weekly view is more practical for teaching timetables, shift patterns, and events-dense communities
- Reduces repeated switching every time users visit the page
- Improves UX parity with mobile calendar apps that default to Week view
Current workaround
Admins can force redirect to /upcoming-events/week (prior to upcoming-events/week/2025/10/27) with a Theme Component, but that:
- is hacky
- applies to everyone globally (hard to scope)
- doesn’t give true admin UX control
Thank you! This would be a small change with a big usability improvement for event-focused communities
