The Events Calendar 6.2.6

Summary

Maintenance Release

The latest update resolves several issues with SEO tags as well as additional tweaks and filters to support those changes.

Read more about those changes in our Knowledge base article about the SEO changes.

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:

  • SEO: We now ensure that the noindex meta tag properly observes whether events are present on the page or not.
  • SEO: Added noindex, nofollow for grid-based views like Month and Week View when they are not set as the home page.

✨ Tweaks

New tweaks in this release:

  • Added an X-Robots-Tag to the response headers for ical download links to help prevent search engine crawling.
  • Added filter: tec_events_ical_header_noindex to allow preventing the X-Robots-Tag addition. [TEC-4976]
  • Added filter tec_events_seo_robots_meta_include and tec_events_seo_robots_meta_include_{$view} to short-circuit the robots meta tag addition. [TEC-4976]
  • Added filter tec_events_seo_robots_meta_content to alter the content attribute of the robots meta tag addition. [TEC-4976]
  • Deprecated filters tec_events_add_no_index_meta_tag, tribe_events_add_no_index_meta, and tec_events_{$view}_add_no_index_meta in favor of the above new filters.
