If you previously connected an element to the ' About (Rich Text)' Events collection field, remove this connection as it is being deprecated. Wix Events has released a new ' About the event (optional)' field where you can add rich media to showcase details about your events. This new field appears as the ' Long description (Rich Content)' collection field when you connect a rich content element to it.
