Issue/Request: 

I would like to change the current view (/events-calendar) events listing page* to become a block so that I can insert contextual information above the view. Is this possible?

Hi Ryan,

You should be able to add the same information above the current view as is, but to create a block you have to click on “Add” in the view, and select “Block” and then configure it with the same fields and settings as the view page.

How do I add the information above the current view as is?

what information are you trying to add?

A paragraph about the information they will see below.

Add another “Global: Text area” field in the Header section of the view (the middle column of the edit view page), and you can add the text you want there.

Great! Thank you
