The WP Events Calendar Team is happy to announce the release of a beta version of  EC 6.6.

This release fixes many issues that were reported by our users. The major one being the problems people faced with WP 2.8.

EC is now compatible with the most recent version of WordPress, a.k.a WP 2.8.4.

This is a beta release. That means that you folks have a job to do: testing this plugin and trying to kill it. And then, when you’ve done the assassination operation, make sure to write a complete report about your exploit in the bug tracker so we can resuscitate the poor thing.

On a more serious note, we have tried to make EC more robust so we can wait for the next generation Heirem is going to provide.

These are the issues we fixed:

• WPEC is now WP 2.7 and 2.8 ready. This fixes issues #20, #21 and #38.
• Fixed issue #16: Larger description in textarea.
• Fixed issue #17: Consistency with WP plugin UI conventions
• Fixed issue #18: displayLarge uses $options before it is set.
• Fixed issue #22: Click for more info not working
• Fixed issue #27: Events not showing on widget in public view.
• Fixed issue #29: Firefox reported 2 errors.
• Fixed issue #31: Start / End Times do not appear to take start / end date into consideration.
• Fixed issue #32: Tooltips doesn’t show correctly when there is a large amount of text in the description. This is partly resolved in fact. The tooltip will grow larger depending on the text size but a very large amount of text will still show this problem. I would suggest making a post if you have too much text.
• Fixed issue #34: Wrong timezone: US (am/pm) vs. European time.
• Fixed issue #37: Ajax character set problems with Spanish language (and other too for sure).
• Fixed issue #40: Post titles are incorrect when they contain an ‘.
• Fixed issue #42: Conflict with Register Plus plugin. pluggable.php is a BAD THING! When we start doing reminders and stuff like that, we may need to override some of these functions which will again break compatibility.
• Fixed issue #45: Showing incorrect day.
• Fixed issue #46: Widget in Sidebar will not change to Calendar view .
• Fixed issue #48: WordPress Database Error: invalid SQL syntax.
• Fixed issue #52: spacing between line too close.
• Fixed issue #56: Thickbox and ‘moving’ WordPress.
• Added license file and comments.
• Adapted the readme.txt file to the latest spec from wordpress.org

We hope you enjoy it.

The EC Team

The very unstable development version of Events Calendar was showing as stable.  This was a mistake made in the readme file.  Please be aware of this.  If you auto upgrade when prompted then you will need to revert to 6.5.2.1 if you are not wanting to do some testing.  Our apologies.

OK, everyone. We are pushing support for the Events Calendar plugin. Please take a look at all that we are working on. The forum is up and running. Please introduce yourself in the Welcome section of the forum.

The bug tracker is a work in progress.  We are working on getting it active and will be making it active them.

Here is the general layout that the site will be.

• There will be pages describing everyone on the team (coming soon)
• The forum will be used for questions about the plugin and for introducing yourself.
• General comments on the plugin, authors, or site can be posted in the blog comments.
• The bug tracker (coming soon) should be self explanatory.

We will still have our own sites which will be involving the Events Calendar but for the bulk of information look here.  This will be our collaborative ground for sharing information.  Also you can follow us on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/wpec

This site has been set up to provide better support for the Events Calendar plugin for Wordpress.  The plugin has become very popular and there are major changes coming thanks to Heirem.  I am moving support to this site so that there is a centralized location to post questions and comments.

I have also installed a forum here.  It is ran using Simple Press, the bulletin software from the creator of Wordpress.  The forum will be open to anyone and everyone that is available to answer questions.  If you are well versed in Events Calendar your input is welcomed.  The only thing we ask is that you don’t answer questions unless you know the correct answer.  This will keep from causing problems later.

Thanks to everyone, and hope you enjoy the site.
