Filter Bar 5.4.0

Summary

Feature Release

The latest version of Filter Bar includes tweaks to remove and deprecate certain files that are no longer applicable, and adds a new Series filter.

As always, we recommend testing updates on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing. Note that this update is a big one and you must complete an additional event migration process to take advantage of the new features. Learn more about the migration process in our Knowledgebase article.

Version: Filter Bar 5.4.0 is only compatible with The Events Calendar 6.0.0 and higher.

Note: Our plugins now support only PHP version 7.3 or higher.
