Troubleshooting

I can't save my event.
If you use Safari on Mac, you cannot enter dates into events. Instead, use Firefox on Mac. On any PC, any browser works

The page crashes when I set the end time.
You can't just set the end time. You have to set both start and end time otherwise the page will crash.

Fix to avoid error page when searching for events.
If you do a search on their event pages, you will get an error page (404 page) at some events. To get around it, you can go to 'Content' and select 'Events', click on that event and save if the error will not be repeated. The bug only applies to events created before 15/5. The reason is updated urls.

I want to post an event that spans two days, but when I save I get the error message "If the event date is set to interval, the date field must contain exactly two dates". But I have no way to add another date.
If you have checked in "Event date is interval" before setting an end date, start by checking the box. Then click "Add additional date" and enter the second date. Then check "Event date is interval".
