Summary
Maintenance Release
The latest version of The Events Calendar includes tweaks to improve compatibility with Yoast, reverts a change in the previous version (6.15.8) related to how the plugin interacts with Avada styles, and focuses on enhancing accessibility.
As always, we recommend testing updates on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.
