  This is a Free Domain, It has an events side bar, but I can no longer access it, I cannot up date any events, I also do not seem to be able to link add a calendar. All I get is a message that says I must upgrade to a business account. It was working ok prior to the new editor. Help please

  WP.com: Yes

  You can still use the Upcoming Events widget, you’ll just need to recreate it in your sidebar using the Upcoming Events block instead of the older widget that used the former “classic widget” area.

  Using that “classic widget” area is what you would need to pay for, but you won’t need to in this case so you can remove that upgrade from your cart.

  Looking at your widgets, it looks like you are using the right widget, so you’ll need to check that you have the right .ics URL and that the calendar is public. You can review the steps to make sure you have the right link here:

  If you still have trouble, try this public calendar URL from Google that lists holidays in the United States to see if that one will display on your site.

  https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/en.usa%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

  Let us know if you still have trouble!
