Summary

Maintenance Release

The Events Calendar 5.1.6 features the addition of some updates for our Events Calendar Pro users, as well as improvements to CSV import functionality.

This is a minor release that should be smooth sailing when updating. 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

• We now include Virtual Events information when exporting events via the Export Events and iCal and Google Calendar export buttons.
• We have made it easier for our users to manage venues and organizers through CSV imports.
• We have added the ability to use default values from settings for venue imports via the tribe_events_importer_set_default_venue_import_values filter.
• We have replaced the placeholders in our template files with appropriate links to be the actual URLs for the articles.

✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release

• We resolved an issue that was causing SQL errors that would show up when creating custom Event queries in theme builders.
• We have fixed SQL errors that would show up when running custom Event queries in plugins.
• We also fixed SQL errors that would prevent customers from being able to select tickets assigned to Events in some instances.
• We now allow our CSV import users to “Overwrite my event with any changes from the original source.” under Events > Settings > Imports.
• When re-importing a CSV, we have enabled excerpt and description fields to be cleared of their values.
• We have resolved an issue so that on re-import, we only overwrite items that have been mapped.
