[Bug]: Changing meetings from live to Zoom only - then shows Temporarily Inactive

I looked through the information and cannot find anything. I also deactivated as many plugins as possible to see if that helped. In addition, I rolled back WP from 5.8.1 to 5.8 and that didn't seem to work, either.

Please advise!

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?​

Chrome

Relevant log output/errors​

We still have not moved the site from our old webmaster's personal server to a commercial server, although we are working on that. So I can't get to the files the usual way. Is there any other way to generate the error logs?

Thank you,
Sarah

The answer​

Hi Sarah—

For a natively online meeting, the address must be approximate (i.e., no street) reflecting the city (or possibly county) and state only. By leaving a complete address but telling the app you don’t want meet in-person, you’re indicating you want the location to be treated as temporarily inactive, that is why it shows that way. This is not a bug, it is expected.

To resolve, simply change the address to be just the city and state, and you should see the temporarily inactive flag clear.
