Gutenberg Ready: The Events Calendar 4.7, Event Tickets 4.9, and Premium Add-ons!
We’re very pleased to announce that a new release of our plugins is now out, and that this release includes compatibility with the upcoming release of WordPress 5.0 and the new Block Editor (codename “Gutenberg”).
WordPress 5.0 is (almost) here, and with it are coming some pretty significant changes to the editing interface.
Our team has been working diligently to get our plugins ready for these changes, but aiming at any moving target is always more difficult than aiming at a static one. (And this target is definitely moving!)
Gutenberg and the changes that come with it are a big deal. Our goal is to help support you on your journey to adoption as it makes sense for you and your situation. In that spirit, here’s where we’re at when it comes to our own work and compatibility:
- We’ve tested WordPress 4.9.8 + our plugins — good to go!
- We’ve done limited testing with WP Beta + our plugins (which includes our Gutenberg work)
- We stopped testing with the Gutenberg plugin when WordPress released the 5.0 Beta
Switching to Gutenberg?
If it’s your first time getting your hands on Gutenberg we recommend you go through our step-by-step checklist to get your site ready to start testing the new block editor.
We also have a free WordPress 5.0 eBook available for download that covers all of the major changes the newest version introduces.
Not ready to make the switch to Gutenberg yet?
Don’t worry, our block editor interface for creating events will be disabled by default and we have included a setting to activate it when you are ready.
Remember you can also Disable Gutenberg and Keep the Classic WordPress Editor while you still get more familiar with it and test things out before you go live.
