Alex committed the Event Calendar3 plugin svn to the WordPress plugins directory. A very good thing.

WP 2.6 and EventCalendar3

With fingers crossed and backups at the ready, I updated to WordPress 2.6 this morning. I’m pleased to report if you were successful applying the unofficial patch to EC3 to make it work with WP 2.5, it should work fine with WP 2.6. Links to the patch are around here somewhere if you need it still.

Eventcalendar3 Progress?

Looks like Darrell is working on the svn for Eventcalendar3. He’s applied a couple of patches to the trunk (including Andrew’s excellent patch to correct the calendar links and make the plugin go with WordPress 2.5.x). The trunk looks pretty stable so an updated release shouldn’t be too far away. Or you can grab the trunk if you can’t wait.

More on Eventcalendar3 and WP 2.5

Quite a bit of the hits I get here have to do with the EventCalendar3 plugin and getting it to work with WordPress 2.5. It’s really not that tough to make the small changes. I go over to the EC3 mailing list to see what kinds of problems people have with the plugin. Many folks are looking for functionality the plugin just doesn’t have. More people have problems that I don’t experience with my installation so I usually check out their blog to see if I can help.

I am always amazed how many people are running outdated versions of the plugin. Yesterday, I read a couple of support requests. They were running WordPress 2.3.x or 2.5 and EC3 version 3.1.0! I’m surprised EC3 ran at all.

The current version of the plugin is 3.1.1. RC3. Even though the it’s a ‘release candidate’, it works very well with pre-WordPress 2.5 installations. So if you find your way here looking for help with EventCalendar 3, take these simple steps:

1. Make sure you are running the most recent version of the plugin.
2. Go to the SourceForge bug/patch directory for EC3 and grab what you need to make it work with WordPress 2.5.

WordPress 2.5 Plugin Compatibility

A couple of plugin breaks will delay my update to WordPress 2.5. Eventcalendar3 apparently has a small issue with the new WordPress version as does Bad Behavior. I’m sure patches will be forthcoming.

Finally Updated to WP 2.3

Now that EventCalendar3 is updated and my theme is ready (thanks, Neil!), I updated from 2.2.3 to 2.3.1. It went without a single problem. I’ll have to go through the archives and put tags on the posts but so far, so good!
