3.0 Update Broke Calendars

  • Google Calendar Events was nearly exactly what I was looking for and I’m very grateful for all the work that goes into building open source software.

    Unfortunately, the upgrade to 3.0.1 deleted live calendars, settings, and Google API credentials.

    In addition, the new version injects a lot of inline CSS. I could not find a setting or hook in the code to override it.

    I can see that the plugin is becoming more extensible, but in the meantime the version upgrade broke live sites and didn’t provide functionality I actually needed. In the future, it’d be useful if the plugin could put up a warning stating an update will not maintain compatibility.

    Hi sorry you had some issues. We did have an update bug (bad on our part, sorry about that) but we pushed out the 3.0.1 patch within the same day to get it resolved. I know that doesn’t really help you now though, but just know we are apologetic for the headaches there. We also did put a notice in the 2.4.0 version of the plugin about the upcoming update. If you wouldn’t mind giving some feedback on how maybe we could have done better than that would be greatly appreciated. We can only improve as much as the feedback we receive so it always welcome.

    Thanks!

    We admit we didn’t take enough precaution here and issued an update that broke backwards compatibility a bit too swiftly, and we apologize.

    Please see this post for more details.
