 * Hello!
 * We have the 1.14 version of your plugin and recently we have updated to WordPress
   7.0. Now we have a problem editing an existing event. When we want to edit one,
   the window of editing code is in the middle of the page and we can’t move to 
   the Meta box located at the bottom of the page, if we change to “Visual editor”
   we can go down, but otherwise, no. This problem appears only editing an event,
   if we create a new event we can go to the bottom windows correctly.
 * Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-editing-an-event%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey jarxabi,
   Thanks for reaching out! Are you saying that when you are using 
   the “code editor” the “Meta Boxes” section shown in this screenshot cannot be
   change to be larger or smaller? [https://snipboard.io/4BC8mT.jpg](https://snipboard.io/4BC8mT.jpg)
   Does this happen with event posts specifically or do other post types (like pages
   or posts) also have the same issue?There is some code in the plugin that tries
   to prevent either the content editor or the meta boxes from being fully minimized
   or maximized when the editor loads. The changes in recent WordPress versions 
   can confuse users otherwise.I’m not able to reproduce this as of yet but it could
   be a flaw in the code somewhere!Thanks,Craig

 * Hi!
 * I have only seen this problem in the events and only when you are editing one.
   The metaboxes don’t appear at the bottom, I send you an image [https://ibb.co/x8MnBFmL](https://ibb.co/x8MnBFmL).
   If you change to “visual editor” the metaboxes appear correctly [https://ibb.co/zTpHbQMz](https://ibb.co/zTpHbQMz).

 * OK great. Thanks for the details!
   I’m not experiencing the same thing but let
   me see if something can be done regardless.Can you tell me what theme you are
   using and whether or not you have any plugins that affect the block editor installed?
   There is an update coming out next week so there will be an attempt to address
   this added.

 * Hi again,
 * Actually I can see this occurs when there is a significant amount of content 
   in the code editor. That’s why the issue only appears when editing an existing
   event that has a lot of content.
 * After some digging, it seems this is a known issue with WordPress core. I have
   a workaround in the plugin to help with the meta box being too large or too small
   but it doesn’t fix the code editor as you’ve seen. Here is the related issue:
   [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/79127](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/79127)
 * We’re adding a targeted workaround in the next plugin update so the code editor
   scrolls properly and meta boxes stay reachable at the bottom so you won’t need
   to wait for WordPress updates to fix it.
 * After updating, edit an existing event in Code editor and confirm you can reach
   the Event Details / Registration boxes. If anything still looks wrong, let me
   know your theme and any editor-related plugins.
   I’m hoping to release today but
   otherwise it will be early Tuesday.
 * Thanks,
   Craig

 * The update was just released. If you update to version 1.15 there is now the 
   workaround to keep the meta box visible. Let me know if there is still any issue.

 * **Hello!**
 * Yes, you’re right. If the content in the code editor is short, the checkboxes
   are visible. However, when the text becomes longer, the boxes disappear.
 * I tried to update your plugin to the latest version, as you suggested, but no
   update is available yet on my site. It still shows the current version.
 * Thanks!

 * I suppose WordPress.org now waits a certain period before updates are available
   for security/safety reasons. You may need to check back from time to time.

 * Hi!
 * I have updated the plugin and now it is working correctly!! I can see the meta
   boxes even if the text code is long. Thank you!!
