Events Manager 5.5.4 and Pro 2.3.9 Released

Posted on December 5, 2014

We’ve been working away at various upcoming features over the next few months, and in the meantime we’re releasing an update containing some more pressing fixes.

Most notably, we’ve deprecated the use of TimThumb for thumbnail generation, which was necessary since the script is not being maintained anymore.

We’ll likely put out another update in the coming weeks to tackle some more known issues.
