 * The latest update seems to have broken the calendar view of MEC. It says “there
   was an error while fetching events!”
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-while-fetching-events%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * It looks like it’s working again, were you able to discover what was causing 
   the issue for you?

 * I had to go into the MEC shortocdes and change the skin to “Full Calendar”. It
   said something slightly different before, like “main calendar” or something like
   that. That made the calendar work again. But beware: it also changed some of 
   my settings. Like on one site, I had to go and re-color-code all my events. And
   on another installation, I had to reset the “single event display method”. Weird,
   but that’s what worked.

 * I want to share that I have this exact same experience and solution as well. 
   We have been using the General Calendar layout for our achive shortcode for probably
   a year with no issues. Yesterday, I updated the plugin to the latest version 
   and today the client reported the error message “there was an error while fetching
   events!” on their site. We looked at recent events added to see if there was 
   something added that could’ve triggered an error, but did not find anything. 
   We changed the shortcode layout to Full Calendar and it’s working and loading
   content fine. I tried a few other layouts, but none had issues fetching events,
   it appear to only be an issue with the General Calendar layout.
 * MEC 7.14.0
   WordPress 6.6.1PHP 8.1.29
 * Hope a future update resolves this issue as the client prefers the look of the
   general calendar.
