 * Hi,
 * Sorry for the issues you are having. I can help troubleshoot this with you.
 * If you are using a Version of WordPress below 4.4 this function is not included.
   You can update WordPress or add the following to your functions.php of your child
   theme:
 *     ```
       global $wp_version;
       if( version_compare( $wp_version, '4.4', '<' ) ) {
           if ( ! function_exists( 'is_embed' ) ) {
               function is_embed() { return false; }
           }
       }
       ```
   
 * Let us know how that works out.

 * Hey there,
 * Just want to drop a quick note in here to let you know that The Events Calendar
   4.2.1 is about to release any moment and it will include a patch for this issue.
   Please update and let us know if you continue to hit any trouble.
 * Thanks so much for your patience while we worked on this!
 * Cheers,
    Geoff
