We’ve been a little slow to update the blog with our latest changes this time round, consequently we missed the 5.1 update due to some quick yet necessary updates to 5.1.2.
A lot has gone into the 5.1.x update, much of it being under the hood. However, we’re now getting to that point where the scales are tipping in favor of adding new features rather than fixing bugs, so this is just a small sign of things to come!
Here’s a list of the new features/improvements:
- By popular demand, overall event spaces! Now you can have two tickets e.g. with 20 spaces each, yet offer a limit of 20 spaces for the whole event!
- Booking Button allows cancellations as well now.
- You can now prevent specific booking emails by leaving the subject blank.
- We’ve simplified the booking form templates, and hopefully won’t have to make changes to these anytime soon.
- Price related placeholders! e.g. #_EVENTPRICERANGE, #_EVENTPRICEMAX, #_EVENTPRICEMIN
- Location placeholder – #_LOCATIONNEXTEVENT – enabling you to make a map of upcoming events using locations_map shortcode.
