# Community Events 4.8.5

### Summary

Maintenance Release

Community Events 4.8.5 adds compatibility for WordPress 5.7 and jQuery 3.5.1.

This is a “maintenance” release, meaning it should be a super smooth update but, as always, please backup your site and database as you would with any other WordPress update.
