Posted on September 5, 2022
We’re happy to release another follow-up update which should address the large majority of issues that users may have experienced during the recent 6.x updates. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience during these weeks during this major transition, and for anyone still experiencing any upgrade issues since 6.x please rest assured that we’re still working on any reported issues and will follow up with more updates as necessary.
Aside from many fixing many new and older reported bugs, we’ve snuck in a few new features that were already in the pipeline into both Events Manager and Pro Add-on :)
- Waiting lists
- Cancellation policies
- Cancel x hours before events start
- Submission limitations/throttling
- Limit the number of events users can submit
We’ll follow up with another post giving more information on these within the coming days, our current focus is making sure everyone transitions as smoothly as possible.
