# Gutenberg bug

 * Hi guys, Tim from Yoast here.
 * I’m working a lot with Gutenberg, helping to develop it and get it ready for 
   ship, and during testing I found a compatibility issue with this plugin. When
   The Events Calendar is enabled, authors on the website can no longer access the
   Categories and Tags sections in the Gutenberg post edit sidebar. Do you modify
   user roles in any way? Turning the plugin off and refreshing the editor immediately
   reveals those sections again.
 * Is there a better place to log this bug? Will you look at it to see what the 
   problem is? Would be helpful to know for us too, it’s probably not intended behaviour
   so we’d like to know how it happened so we can maybe build in safeguards for 
   it.
 * Thanks!

 * Hey there,
 * Since this thread has been inactive for a while, I’m going to go ahead and mark
   it as resolved. Don’t hesitate to create a new thread any time you help again!

 * [@erishel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erishel/) Inactive? We’re waiting
   on a response from your team. The bug has not been fixed yet in Events Calendar
   4.6.20.1 or Gutenberg 3.3.0, therefore this is not resolved. Please mark it accordingly
   and don’t assume things are magically fixed by the passage of time.
 * [@barryhughes-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barryhughes-1/) Have you
   spotted anything on your end that may shed some light on the cause of this issue?

 * Hi Tim,
 * I checked in on this, however it seems the team could not replicate. I did also
   try myself and, similarly, couldn’t see the problem. Here’s what I used:
    - WordPress 4.9.7
    - The Events Calendar 4.6.20.1
    - Gutenberg 3.3.0
 * On visiting the post editor I had no difficulties accessing the category or tag
   sections (in the new/Gutenberg-powered post editor). I went on to add and test
   with Yoast SEO 7.9 as well as [our own Gutenberg extension](https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/events-gutenberg/)
   but still could not replicate.
 * Anything we’re missing here? When you noted that _“When The Events Calendar is
   enabled, authors on the website can no longer access the Categories and Tags 
   sections in the Gutenberg post edit sidebar”_ did you mean they were literally
   missing, or that they were unresponsive?
 * Any other notes you can share would be great as we don’t see the problem as yet.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks Barry! How strange that you are not able to reproduce it… I’ve tried with
   three different WordPress installs here, both live and staging. When I, logged
   into an Author account, start a new Gutenberg post, the categories and tags sections
   are literally missing from the sidebar. There are no other plugins active except
   The Events Calendar and Gutenberg. Disabling it and refreshing the current post
   as author immediately brings back the missing sections.
 * Here’s a screenshot: the top image is when viewing the post as admin, or as author
   with The Events Calendar disabled, and the bottom image is when The Events Calendar
   is enabled and you edit the post as author. And I don’t mean author as in “the
   person set as the writer of the post”, but a user account with the role “Author”.
   Any user role above author doesn’t have this problem.

 * I do apologize, though you stated it right at the start of this topic I completely
   blanked the need to test as an author. I do see this, bear with us a little longer.

 * The team report this should be resolved, so long as the latest versions of all
   relevant plugins are used. Do let me know if your experience is otherwise 🙂
