I spotted this in Related Topics while having a refresh of the Calendar and Event topics (another win for Related Topics 🙂 🏅)

I’ve just rejigged them so both features now appear properly as one plugin topic, which should hopefully remove some confusion:

I’ve also split a lot of the ‘how to’ details into a couple of guides to give them some breathing space:

The main focus was to give them some more consistent structure (though I’ve thrown in a quick refresh for good measure). They were a little thorny to smooth out, but I think they’re in a better shape than they were. Having slept on it, I think there are a few things I’d still like to do so I won’t break out the 🚀 just yet. 🙂

But hopefully we’re moving in the right direction. 🤞 🙂
