The Events Calendar 6.0.0
Summary
Feature Release
The latest version of The Events Calendar features a new event data storage system, improved performance on calendar views, and faster event creation and editing. Legacy views have been fully deprecated.
As always, we recommend testing updates on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing. Note that this update is a big one and you must complete an additional event migration process to take advantage of the new features. Learn more about the migration process in our Knowledgebase article.
Version: The Events Calendar 6.0.0 is only compatible with Events Calendar Pro 6.0.0 and higher.
Note: Our plugins now support only PHP version 7.3 or higher.
