Summary

Maintenance Release

The latest update of The Events Calendar includes fixes to improve stability and lots of accessibility tweaks.

The Events Calendar 6.15.14 is only compatible with Events Pro 7.7.12 or higher.

As always, we recommend testing updates on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.


✅ Fixes

Bugs squashed in this release:

  • Ensure that the Series post status is not changed during maintenance.
  • Improve category table stability by preventing fatal errors when custom column data receives null values.
  • Prevent category data from persisting between events when some have colored categories and others do not. Props to @deltragon.

Tweaks in this release:

  • Add a visual outline when a day is in focus in the datepicker for improved accessibility.

  • Enhance Top Bar datepicker with semantic HTML, ARIA support, and reliable keyboard navigation.
  • Improve archive view content title to default to an H1 while allowing heading tag overrides via tec_events_views_v2_view_{$view_slug}_content_title_heading_tag filter.
  • Improve JavaScript namespace initialization by ensuring window.tribe is defined before category color scripts run.
  • Increase contrast for current day in the datepicker for improved accessibility.
