The Events Calendar 6.2.0

Summary

Feature Release

This update brings a couple of tweaks to The Events Calendar so that it can support Events Calendar Pro’s new features: multiple venues, featured image support for venue and organizer pages, categories for venues and organizers, and more.

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


⚙️ Version

Minimum supported version in this release:

  • The minimum supported version of WordPress is now 6.1.0

✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

  • Ensure the block editor includes support for user-defined custom CSS classes.
  • Ensure the “Add Organizer” button is visible in the classic editor if organizers have been set.
  • Simplify data handling of venues within the block editor.
  • When removing a newly created organizer in the block editor before saving the event will now trash the draft organizer.

✨ Tweaks
