  1. This errata just helped me fix this problem on my website. Thank you very much for posting it!

    For future errata, can you please include the date it was published? Also, can you please include version numbers for the effected plugins? In this case, this problem exists in the current (February 16, 2021) current version of The Events Calendar, 5.3.2.1.
