Problem/Motivation

We received a bug report saying that some of our clients using the version 12.2.1 can't see the sidebar blocks "Upcoming events" and "Newest topics" in flexible groups.

As a result of a extensive investigation, we discovered that the issue is caused by 3 misconfigurations:

1. The visibility settings in the block is restricting it to some group types;
2. The contextual filter in the View has a validation criteria restricting the query to some group types;
3. The social_course module is overriding some of the Views configs affecting the query for those blocks.

We also discovered that this issue does not happen to fresh installations.

Proposed resolution

Since the config overriding (3rd item mentioned above) is already been taken care on another issue 📌 Remove redundant filters from group content views Needs review , we should write an update script to reset the other two configs: **block visibility settings**, and **contextual filter validation criteria**, so they will match with the install config state.

We should also write a Behat test to make sure the blocks appears properly in the flexible group sidebar region.
