New FeatureImprovementElevent for WordPress

WordPress Plugin v0.6

Introducing the ability to enable the plugin to sync new and updated events from Elevent automatically. If you enable auto-sync, you won't need to log into WordPress at all to have events update themselves on your website.

But first: We messed up!

You may notice some error messages when trying to update the Elevent for WordPress plugin from the WordPress plugins screen. We accidentally let a security token expire--we're sorry about that.

Just this once, to update the Elevent for WordPress plugin, please do the following:

  1. Delete the prior version of the Elevent plugin
  2. Upload and activate version 0.6 from the .zip file here. As always, back up your site before doing so, but this was tested extensively and shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks!

  • Auto-sync is ready to use. By Enabling Auto-sync on the Elevent Settings page, events and showtimes will sync up from Elevent hourly without user intervention

  • Removed the dependency on the CPT UI 3rd party plugin. After this update, you can deactivate and delete CPT UI unless you are using it for other purposes
  • Greatly simplified the installation and plugin updating process--no more importing for elevent events, taxonomies, or fields.
  • When a user applies the filter on the calendar view, they will no longer be bumped up to the top of the page.
  • Made the default colors for showtime status on the calendar view a little easier to see without negatively affecting visual contrast.
  • Stopped a chatty message from writing to the PHP error logs frequently.
  • Shortened and renamed the key for the festival/season/series taxonomy. We're starting to migrate that category to align with brands in Elevent proper.
