Summary

Maintenance Release

The latest version of Events Calendar Pro includes PHP 8, Elementor, and MySQL compatibility updates. Several bugs related to editing and retrieving events, some template updates, and more.

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

✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

• Weekly recurrence message fatal on PHP 8.0+ resolved, also resolves translations that were not applying.
• On classic editor, when editing a single occurrence that has a recurring rule, the start time for the single occurrence is displayed in the description of the recurring rule.
• Fix issue where splitting the first occurrence in a recurring event that has a limit by a count, will generate an additional occurrence at the end of the range.
• Ensure the zoom level set under Events → Settings → Display → Google Maps default zoom level is applied to the venue meta page.
• Change the type of the date-related custom tables date fields to VARCHAR to avoid warnings on stricter SQL modes.
• Ensure the code will work correctly when the Events’ category taxonomy is unregistered.
• Ensure the Navigation Style setting in the Elementor Event Widget doesn’t appear to be blank when the corresponding Navigation Option is disabled in the Content tab.
• Update the Event Series tooltip label on hover.
• Ensure all Google Map iframes have a title attribute to improve accessibility.
• Replace the Elementor\Widgets_Manager::register_widget_type method with Elementor\Widgets_Manager::register since it was deprecated since Elementor version 3.5.0.
• Display the Recurring Event label in the classic editor when an event has a ticket.
• Fix the template path in the src/views/v2/photo/event/date-tag.php docblock.
