Events Manager 6.4.2 & Pro 3.2.2
Posted on July 4, 2023
Our most recent updates largely focused on fixing some issues that cropped up during our recent updates with many new features. We are going to circle back again in the next update (which should come shortly) to tackle some more issues we were unable to get to during this update cycle.
Alongside these bugfixes, we’re happy to announce another highly requested feature, now available on Events Manager; event cancellation!
Event Cancellation
You now have the option to cancel an event, and choose what happens when events are cancelled! If you already have Events Manager installed and are upgrading, you’ll need to visit the Settings > General Options > Event Options > Enable Event Status? setting and enable that to Yes, once you do that you’ll notice an Event Cancellations section appear in the same General Options tab, as well as another one in the Emails tab.
Depending on your setting choices, you’ll now be able to set the Event Status to Active or Cancelled. When cancelled, the following can happen:
- All bookings that are pending or approved get a standard notification email as per your email settings template.
- All pending and approved bookings are cancelled
- Optionally all cancelled bookings can be sent the cancellation booking template.
- Bookings are closed
From the front-end point of view, we now have some cancelled formatting that will show up on your event, such as:
We hope you enjoy this new feature, we have some extra features coming up for cancellations in Pro very soon!
