The Events widget displays a maximum of 5 events from:

  •  Communities a user is a member of, when added to the Default homepage, Audience Specific Homepage, Default Manager Dashboard, Manager Specific Dashboard, and User Dashboard pages. 

  • A specific community, if added to the Community Specific page. For example, if the widget is added to the Community Specific page for the Marketing community, the widget will only display events the user has access to, from the Marketing community.

Users can filter events using the dropdown in the top-right corner of the Events widget.

To prevent this from happening, you can convert the image to JPG or add a background to the PNG. This can be done locally on your computer or using an online programme such as: https://png2jpg.com/.
