Duplicated Event: Status does not change to "published" and adding event to featured topics widget does not work?

Thanks @Eva, looking into this as we speak! 

Thanks, Sebastian

Addition:
I just tested in staging environment: the status changes immediately, but the duplicated event cannot be found in the featured topic widget as well. 

Hi @Sebastian,

I just tried to add the duplicated event into the featured topics widget on the home page again  → it worked 🥳
 

Hi Sebastian,
have you found out something?

I just published another duplicated event. After publishing it was still in draft mode, even when I re-published it (until I refreshed the site). But it’s displayed in the upcoming events, so all good.

The main issue again:
I cannot add this event to the featured topic widget on the home page for everyone to see.
I will try again later. 

Thanks!

Thanks, I tried it today at around 10 a.m. German time and it worked then 👍
Have a great weekend too!

Awesome!

Hi Sebastian,
 

something is still…..not working properly.

I just duplicated an event, adjusted it, published it and could not find it in the Featured  Topics widget:

I will check again tomorrow.

It seems, there’s always a kind of delay for duplicated events when adding them to the widget.

I also experienced this but not with a duplicated event - just a new one. No matter how I tried to add the new event to the widget, it wasn’t available to add. I searched for the title, as well as copy/pasted the published URL of the event - no luck.

Yes, I also tried it by pasting the url, by entering single words, I even added a blank to the title of this event to create a unique event title 😅

But now it’s the next morning and the widget found my event:

So there’s a delay. 
@Sebastian, could you kindly check this?

We use the Featured Topics widget on our community home page to make upcoming events more visible until a subscribing to events feature is available.

Thanks!
