We’re constantly working to improve The Events Calendar. Check out what’s new and get the most from your online WordPress calendar.
A few months back, we wrote a post soliciting calls for beta testers who might be interested in testing out our CSV importer for Events Calendar PRO. In the weeks since that post we’ve had a strong response from the community and are still getting emails as recently as this morning from folks interested in…
We’re looking for a few good men & women to participate in our next usability test, taking place this Thursday, August 16 from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. Pacific time. Free during that timeframe and interested in helping out? Awesome! We’d love to have you. Unlike the past two usability rounds, in which we’ve focused…
The community using Modern Tribe’s family of free and paid WordPress plugins is growing (over 650,000 downloads and counting), which means its time for the team to grow as well. We’re looking for the right person(s) to help our users achieve their goals. Are you happy, helpful, curious and accountable? Are you comfortable using and…
As you may have been aware from seeing the calls for participants here and on our Facebook/Twitter pages, we recently wrapped up our first round of usability testing on The Events Calendar. It was an interesting experience: we lined up 3 users from all different walks of WordPress life (all the way from a user…
In our constant quest to make using The Events Calendar and it’s add-ons as awesome a process as possible for everyone, we’re gearing up for our first round of usability testing. We’re looking for a handful of users who are available next Thursday (June 14, 2012) to give us about 30-60 minutes of their time.…
It recently came to our attention that prior to releasing the 2.0.3 build, we inadvertently changed the webcal feed version number in the Events Calendar PRO plugin code. This in turn made it impossible for some users to import their events into external calendars (google calendar or iCal) without seeing an error message telling them…
Jumping into 2012, there’s a lot we at Modern Tribe have in store on the WordPress plugin front that we’re extremely excited about. The first of those is out today: The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 2.0.3, which patches a number of bugs (some critical, some minor) that were introduced in the 2.0.2 code…
We’ve locked down our first pass at the new Eventbrite Ticketing add-on, and the beta is kicking off. Think you’ve got what it takes to be an early user? Jump in and help out! The rules are simple: Report any bugs you find, no matter how small they may appear; Don’t submit feature requests, since…
Events Calendar PRO 2.0 is just around the corner. During the final QA round, we exposed a few critical bugs that delayed us from pushing the plugin live on September 20 as initially planned; we’ve used the past few days to knock those out and are on track to take the plugin live later this…
We’re down to the final stretch with Events Calendar Pro 2.0: the latest & final round of the beta is in the bands of our capable testers, our developers are squashing the few bugs that remain and we’re putting the finishing touches on the site where all this stuff is going to live. We’ve got…
Update 2, 9/2/11: Hi again folks. Just got word that unfortunately due to the hurricane which recently impacted the East Coast, our lead developer on this project is without power…meaning that we’re a bit behind on work and are going to not have the code ready in time for our planned 9/5 beta. As such,…
There are a number of smaller features in Events Calendar Pro 2.0 that, while not as glamorous or in-depth as recurring events or custom meta, are worth giving some air time to. After the jump check out a walkthrough covering a couple of these smaller — but no less worthwhile — features: using the new…
Beyond recurring events, another feature we’ve added in Events Calendar Pro 2.0 that significantly alters the plugin’s functionality is the inclusion of custom meta data. While users of ECP were previously limited to just the few event settings we’d hardcoded in, those days are soon to be a thing of the past. Now, site administrators…
One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming Events Calendar Pro 2.0 has to be its inclusion of recurring events — hands down the most requested feature by our users, recurring events will save site administrators the effort of having to set repeat events up one at a time. After the jump, you’ll find a more detailed…
As you may have seen last month, we’ve been ramping up production of Events Calendar Pro 2.0 this summer and today marks the end to our second round of beta testing. Big thanks to all the participants (truly making up a range of folks building completely different websites all around the world) who have given…
