Event Tickets 4.8 and Event Tickets Plus 4.8

Updated

We are proud to annouce Event Tickets 4.8 and Event Tickets Plus 4.8! In this version we made some small but significant changes to the REST API around the tickets functionality.

Also, we fixed many bugs in The Events Calendar, Events Calendar PRO and Community Tickets.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you should check out our brand new QR-code check-in app as well!

As always, we recommend using a staging site to test the changes before updating on a live site.

Ready to see what else we’ve added under the hood? On to the details!

The Events Calendar 4.6.22

  • Add – Allow filtering events, in REST API requests, by their post ID with include
  • Add – Enable future event display to get all events in the future that have not started
  • Add – Allow filtering events, in REST API requests, by their post ID with include
  • Add – Enable future event display to get all events in the future that have not started
  • Add – Added the Tribe__Process__Queue::delete_all_queues method
  • Fix – Prevent subsequent CSV imports from duplicating events in some instances
  • Fix – The “Import events but preserve local changes to event fields” Event Aggregator change authority setting will now behave as expected
  • Fix – Multiple fixes regarding linked post types (e.g. Organizers and custom post types) – props to @natureslens and others for reporting these:
    • Now correctly saves in their drag-and-drop order
    • Deprecated the functions added in version 4.6.13 that previously attempted to fix ordering logic but was not done in a backwards-compatible way: get_order_meta_key() and tribe_sanitize_organizers()
    • We no longer rely on a separate postmeta value dedicated to ordering linked posts (e.g. _EventOrganizerID_Order), and you may want to remove all such values from your database after re-saving any events that have linked posts and their ordering is important
    • tribe_get_linked_posts_by_post_type() now works as expected, no longer returning zero results in error, nor returning all of the post type’s posts if there are none linked. The tribe_events_return_all_linked_posts_if_none filter was added, as it is necessary for this fix.
    • Editing an existing event no longer loses the linked posts just because they were not part of the submission. Example of the bug in prior versions: If organizers are editable in the wp-admin event edit screen but not on the Community Events “event edit” form (via template override or other custom code), all pre-existing organizers were removed in error.
  • Fix – Handle the case where Event Aggregator import queues might get stuck when deleting import records
  • Fix – Only show admin notice when it is a top-level page with the event slug, thanks to MikeNGarrett for the code fix!

  • Fix – The “Import events but preserve local changes to event fields” Event Aggregator change authority setting will now behave as expected
  • Fix – Handle the case where Event Aggregator import queues might get stuck when deleting import records
