When I create a Post Form & Content Template in Toolset and have it set to edit on a front-end page using the below post form with The Event Calendar version 5.5.0.1 or greater installed the data does not save.
Last version of The Event Calendar to work: 5.5.0
Issues start occurring when The Event Calendar version 5.5.0.1 is installed.
The issue occurred when The Event Calendar team removed a single line from the the following file:
The Event Calendar v5.5.0 vs. v5.5.0.1
/plugins/the-events-calendar/common/src/Tribe/Widget/Widget_Abstract.php:138
The Event Calendar changelog for version 5.5.0.1:

Please see screenshots for post form and content template settings.

I've managed to temporarily fix the issue by adding `$this->setup();` to /plugins/the-events-calendar/common/src/Tribe/Widget/Widget_Abstract.php:138
I've tested this in a clean install of WordPress with only the provided plugins installed. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Toolset expecting this event calendar widget to load or if it's a problem on the event calendar side. The issue only occurs when The Event Calendar at v5.5.0.1 or newer is installed.
Is this a known issue or do you have any assistance you can provide?
I’ve submitted this ticket to both plugin vendors.
Hi, thanks for the comprehensive report. The only known issue I'm aware of involving The Events Calendar was resolved several plugin versions ago. It was mostly unrelated to Forms and Content Templates:
https://toolset.com/errata/the-events-calendar-triggers-database-errors-on-toolset-dashboard/
I've got a similar setup now in my local environment with the same plugin versions you've mentioned. I did not add the patch you mentioned in TEC plugin code, I wanted to try to reproduce the problem. I have an Edit Post Form with similar configurations, set up to edit the native Post post type and redirect to a Page, the Form uses expert builder and contains a post title field, a submit button, and the form messages field. I've placed this edit post Form in a blank, unassigned Content Template using the Forms block, and saved the Content Template. All good so far. At the top, in the "View with:" field, I have selected the default Sample Page that is predefined in a fresh WP installation. Still no obvious problems. I am able to save changes now in my Content Template (screenshot attached showing successful AJAX requests after adding a paragraph block). No errors are shown in the wp-admin area, nor in the JavaScript inspector, nor in my PHP logs. I refresh the page and I can see the changes I made were saved as expected. Something else must be going on, or perhaps there are additional steps I need to take to see the problem you described.
When you say that changes to the Content Template are not saved, can you tell me a bit more about that?
- Your screenshot shows a Form block in the Content Template. Is that Form block saved as expected, or is it not possible to save once you add the Form block?
- Are you able to save changes in the Content Template without this Form block in place?
- Is the main Update button blocked / disabled somehow, or does the Update button function more or less as expected?
- What exactly happens to indicate a problem in the editor? Are errors shown in the Block Editor? If you refresh the page after updating I assume the edits you made in the template are no longer visible, correct? What else?
- Are there any errors logged in the JavaScript console? If so, please share them and tell me at what point they are triggered in the process.
- Are any AJAX requests failing? Please provide the request URLs that fail, and describe the failure (error code 500, empty response, etc.?)
- Are there any relevant errors in the server logs you can share?
- You mentioned the replaced setup code was in a Widgets file - do I need to create a specific widget or place a specific widget somewhere in Appearance > Widgets?
