5.2.9 and Pro 2.2.4 Released

Posted on November 12, 2012

Another update, various improvements!

One notable improvement is that our Attendee forms is now in Beta and available for use in Pro 2.2.4 within the Form Editor admin area. This has undergone a fair amount of testing, and the main thing preventing this from coming out of beta is lack of documentation, which we’ll be remedying very soon. However, given the interface is near identical to the normal Booking Forms editor, we hope you’ll be up and running in a few clicks.

We’re also in the middle/end of some big improvements to our site, some even bigger ones regarding the inner workings of the site, which we’ll explain (and you’ll see!) within a couple of weeks when we launch  Thanks for your patience whilst we shift some of our focus on these important improvements, we’re looking forward to finishing this off and having more time than ever to focus exclusively on making EM and Pro even more awesome!

5.2.9

Modified Templates

There were a few modified template files, but very minor changes that shouldn’t affect functionality. The only one that you’d benefit from updating if overridden is events-search.php, which would only help if you’re using MultiSite with global events enabled.
