Troubleshooting Common CoBlocks Events Block Issues: Localization and Multi-Day Events

37 threads Sep 10, 2025 Plugin → Page builder gutenberg blocks – coblocks

Content

Users of the Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks – CoBlocks plugin often utilize the Events block to display calendar information. However, two recurring issues can prevent it from working as expected: date/time localization and the display of multi-day events. This guide will explain these problems and the current status of their resolution.

Common Events Block Issues

1. Date/Time Localization and Formatting
Users have reported that the Events block does not always respect their site's language or regional date/time format settings. For example, a user with a German-language site might expect dates to appear as "9. April" but instead see a format like "April 9th".

2. Multi-Day Events Not Displaying Correctly
Another known issue is that events spanning multiple days (e.g., from April 9th to April 10th) are not fully displayed in the block. Instead of showing the full date range, the block may only list the event on its start date (e.g., "April 9th"), which can be misleading for visitors.

Why This Happens

These are confirmed bugs within the CoBlocks plugin's code. The localization issue stems from how the block processes and displays date information from external calendar feeds. The multi-day event bug is related to how the block's logic parses and renders events that have a start and end date.

The 'Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks – CoBlocks' team has acknowledged these bugs. They have been logged in the plugin's public GitHub repository for their developers to address.

Current Status and Workarounds

As of now, official fixes for these specific issues have not been released in a plugin update. The recommended course of action is to monitor the GitHub threads linked above for updates from the development team. You can click the "Subscribe" button on each GitHub issue to receive notifications when there is progress or a resolution.

Unfortunately, because these are code-level bugs, there is no simple setting change or CSS snippet that will resolve them. The solution requires an update to the plugin itself.

Conclusion

If your CoBlocks Events block is showing dates in the wrong format or not displaying multi-day events correctly, you are experiencing a known bug. The development team is aware of the problem. The best way to track the fix is to follow the public GitHub issues. Once a fix is implemented, updating the CoBlocks plugin to the latest version should resolve the problem.
