patrickV-3	When duplicating an event into French the Event Start/End, venue and organizer aren't duplicated. The start and end time is blank with the date being set back to today and the organizer and venue are set back to default. I did do a conflict test with just WPML and The Events Calendar installed and can still recreate the issue.

patrickV-3	I checked and the event related fields except for currency were set to copy by default. I tried clicking apply and updating the event but it made no difference.

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, Thank you for your message. This seems to be a potential compatibility issue. To help us confirm it, I’ve set up a test site. Could you please install the latest version of the The Events Calendar plugin there and check if the issue can be reproduced? * Login link: hidden link Looking forward to your findings. Thanks

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, That seems unusual, can you try with creating a new events in your site and see if it helps? Probably the events that were created before the fields changes are being affected. Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, Have you tried disabling all non-WPML plugins, switching to one of the default themes, and checking whether the issue still persists or not? Please remember to create a backup of your site (both files and the database) before making any updates or changes. This is always a good practice. if the problem exists even after the above steps, To get a better understanding, I suggest sharing a backup of your wp-content folder and your database. You can zip the files and send them to me via Google Drive. With these, I can set up a local copy of your site and take a closer look at the issue. Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, I managed to download the package, but the issue is not happening for me on localhost, being so I would suggest you to test the following: - Instead of duplicate can you create a translations and see if it works - Clear all server caches from the site. - Edit wp-config.php and add define( 'WPE_GOVERNOR', false ); once Look forward to your reply. Thanks

patrickV-3	Adding define( 'WPE_GOVERNOR', false ); to the wp-config.php file fixed the issue as all the fields were duplicated into the French event.
