Calendar showing but can't create even with a post (settings correct)

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?

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

[calendar]
[/calendar]

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?

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):

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:

Wrong +! Try the other one.

It is a bit weird that they are ‘inside’ posts.
