Release: The Events Calendar 2.0.8
This release comes a bit later in the month than normal, and we’ve been putting the finishing touches on The Events Calendar 2.0.8 the past few days.

We’ve also added a number of minor backend enhancements based on the results of last month’s usability test. (We’ll be publishing an article walking … Continue reading
