Filter Bar 5.0

Summary

Feature Release

Filter Bar 5.0 is a design refresh that integrates calendar filters with the latest version of the events search bar in The Events Calendar.

This is a feature release with some updated design changes. That said, it’s always a good idea to backup your site and test changes in a development environment before installing this on your live site, as you would with any other WordPress update.

✨ New

New features included in this release:

• Filter Bar now honors the WordPress Customizer accent color setting.
• We introduced a new filter that allows vertical filters to be open by default.

✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

We fixed the logic for how Filter Bar adds CSS body classes to a page so it prevents inadvertent conflicts with theme styles.

⚙️ Developers

A new constant is available to disable the latest Filter Bar design updates.

Add the following to your wp-config.php file to preserve the previous design and remove it when you are ready to implement the updates.

define( 'TRIBE_EVENTS_FILTERBAR_V1_VIEWS', TRUE );

Customizations:

The new templates needed for customization can be found in Transitioning to the new Filter Bar Views.
