FAQs / Troubleshooting:
Q: Can I use the Events Block in other spaces?
A: The Events Block is specific to the Easy Events template. In other spaces, you can use a standard Posts Block filtered by CMS model, but it won't include RSVP or event-specific layout options.
Q: How are events sorted in the block?
A: Events are automatically sorted by start date, with the next upcoming events shown first.
Q: Can I display both past and upcoming events?
A: Yes — there’s a toggle in the block settings to show or hide past events.
Q: Will the layout change how RSVPs work?
A: No — layout settings only affect how events are displayed. RSVP functionality works the same in all views.
