Hi there Ofer

Like all of our other plugins (except Event Aggregator), the plugin will continue to function as it had based upon the last update that you received. The annual renewal cost covers product features, security, and bug fix updates. You also receive access to our help desk for further assistance.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hi Courtney,

Thank you for your quick reply!
I have some other questions before I purchase the pro version:
1. what would be the difference between the pro version shortcode and the plugin named “The event calendar shortcode”
2. My second question is related to a different ticket I opened: the site I’m re-building used a previous version of this plugin below is the answer you gave me. Continuing this question, if I don’t have any event, do I need to do the test, or just go with byuing the pro version and doing the downgrad then importation, then upgrade? If so, could you instruct me on how doing so?
Thanks
Ofer

Hi Ofer

The event calendar shortcode is a 3rd party plugin that we do not support or maintain. It does create its own shortcodes, but does not support recurring events or different view types that come with Events Calendar Pro.

I would still advise testing versions and upgrade paths on a staging server (https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/creating-using-wordpress-staging-site/) or at least a local site if possible. More recent versions of our plugins will be safe to upgrade live most likely, but versions that are a year or more old would be worth testing thoroughly.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
