Today marks the start to both a new week and a new month. To kick things off in style, and to buck the cliched trend of April Fools posts that arrive 4/1 (want to play a real joke? publish your fake post mid-August), we’re offering up quick preview posts of The Events Calendar / Events…
Hey folks. We’ve scheduled two mini usability tests for next Thursday (April 4), and I wanted to use this post to solicit volunteers. Read on if you’re interested. In the past, our usability tests have been focused on one broad topic per month. We’d get 3-4 users to participate, and spend 45-60 minutes walking through…
Have you heard about WProller yet? A project by Chris Chaudruc that just came together this month, it’s a really slick implementation that caught our eye…and not just because it features The Events Calendar. True to its name, WProller serves one basic purpose: it “rolls” up a ZIP file that includes both a stock WordPress install and…
Have we told you lately that we love you? And because of that, we want to give you an opportunity to help shape the future of our products business. While our development cycle for The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0 is nearing an end, it certainly won’t be our only plugin adventure of…
We’re just around the corner from launching The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO 3.0, and one of the last pre-release tasks on our list is getting translations nailed down. We’re planning a week after code freeze to focus exclusively on getting the plugin translated, and are hoping our multilingual users might be down to…
Hot on the heels of our QA job posting, we’ve got impending need for a freelance writer to help us write copy leading up to and following the release of The Events Calendar 3.0. If that sounds like your cup of tea, read on.
Modern Tribe does a LOT of WordPress projects and plugins, and we’ve got plenty on the docket for the rest of 2013. We’re looking for someone with a keen attention to detail and a mind for quality, who finds nothing greater in life than picking apart a site or plugin to find bugs / UX…
Next week we’re hosting our first usability test of 2013, and we’re seeking a trio of participants who are interested in providing feedback. This usability test will coincide with the kickoff of our beta for The Events Calendar/PRO 3.0, and will be one of the first opportunities for folks from the community to see 3.0…
The WordPress.org plugin repo is an awesome place. Users are friendly and thankful, discussions are easily tracked, and the ever-growing list of administrative features is making it easier to measure our relationship with the community. We want to extend our sincere thanks to Otto, Scott Reilly & the rest of the dot-org contributors for some of…
As you may have seen us mention on Twitter, we’re stoked this morning because we hit a milestone we’ve been working towards for the past few months now: 300,000 downloads for The Events Calendar on WordPress.org. Beyond being super proud of the team for pushing the plugin further and increasing community interest along the way,…
We’ve been hard at work on The Events Calendar 3.0 these past few weeks, but up until now the only eyes that have seen what’s in store have been our own. As of today, however, we’re far enough that it’s time to introduce this puppy to the community. That’s why we’re announcing our next usability…
As we move towards The Events Calendar/PRO 3.0, there are a number of changes to the plugin code that are quickly rendering old translation files inadequate. These translations will need to be updated prior to the 3.0 release over the next couple months. We’re writing this post as a call to arms for all those…
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…
