No, there were no error messages and I couldn’t find anything in the logs. The site was an updated site, so perhaps with all the changes of deleting, installing, etc. something is not quite right. Since it is now working I don’t want to make any more changes, so I am happy just leaving it alone.
OK, I changed the Events Template setting from “Default Page Template” to “Default Events Template” and the problem went away. No idea why, but thanks very much.
