New FeatureFixElevent for WordPress

WordPress Plugin v0.5.12

The newest version of the WordPress plugin contains some major updates to how events sort and display along with some valuable bug fixes.

Before Updating

Important: The changes made to event dates and sorting by date require some manual intervention.

  1. Before updating the plugin, you should go to Elevent Events -> Event Dates. Delete any event dates for today and any dates in the future. Or just delete them all. When you re-sync the Elevent plug-in, all of your Elevent Events will have correct dates automatically re-assigned.
  2. Update the ACF custom fields for the Elevent plugin. You can retrieve the latest file here and re-import custom fields using the ACF import tool.
  • Introduced the ability to sort an event list or grid in psuedo-chronological order. You now have the option to sort by a new field on Elevent Events: Next Earliest Event Date.
    • To enable chronological sorting, update your sort filter in FacetWP to sort by "next_earliest_event_date"

  • Added support for child venues--this enables you to designate multiple auditoriums or rooms as all part of a single venue location and list all showtimes by that parent venue. Enable Merge Child Venues on the plugin settings page.

Visitors will see showtimes for the whole site.

  • Created a better mobile-responsive variation of the Day Schedule calendar view for smartphones
  • Switched the description that displays on the [multi_part_event] shortcode to the new description field (instead of post excerpt)
  • Fixed a bug related to FacetWP causing regular blog posts to sort differently without using a 3rd party sorting plugin; in so doing, we removed a feature that would omit a leading "A" or "The" in event titles when sorting by event name. We will re-introduce that feature soon.
  • Fixed it so you will no longer see a warning on plugin activation -- "unexpected output…"
  • Fixed the display so you will no longer see flickering when hovering over a datepicker date selected from the View More option (dates far in the future)
  • Fixed a bug causing issues when events had the same date as prior years
