The Events Calendar 5.5.0
Summary
Maintenance Release
This updated version of The Events Calendar 5.5.0 features an update to the single event design and a deprecation notice for our legacy views.
This is a maintenance release that focuses on added features and bug fixes.
As always, we recommend updating on a staging site, just to be safe, but it should all be smooth sailing.
✨ New
New features included in this release:
- We added
has_event
andhas_no_events
to the Venue and Organizer ORM so we can filter requests for both by whether they have events or not. - We added
rel=noreferrer
to Google Map links in order to improve performance and avoid security issues. - We now include actions before and after the creation of a view for REST API requests.
- We allow specific filtering to add other views into the HTML caching for performance using the hook:
tribe_events_views_v2_cached_views
- We have begun to include a Legacy views deprecation notice.
✅ Fixed
Bugs that were squashed in this release:
- We inverted the quotation marks to protect against issue with MySQL in
ANSI_QUOTES
mode. - You’ll now see the correct display order of sticky, featured, and “normal” events in Month View. We also added a class for targeting sticky posts for styling purposes.
- We now ensure that the Events List Widget also shows the time zone when this setting is checked in the admin.
- Saving an event when using the Block Editor without an Organizer is now working as expected.
- Fusion Core/Avada Widget implementation of The Events Calendar will no longer throw warnings on the frontend display.
