# Event Tickets Plus 5.1.1

### Summary

Maintenance Release

This release includes improvements to the performance and stability of the plugin, plus a few new features we slipped in and hope you enjoy.

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.

---

#### ✨ New

We added a few new settings to the WordPress Customizer. Here’s how

- Background color CSS overrides.
- Event title color CSS overrides.
- Event date and time CSS overrides.

These should give you a little extra flexibility to update the plugin design without code.

---

#### ✅ Fixed

The following items were fixed in this release:

- Saving a page or post with ticket or attendee shortcodes will no longer give a scary Error 500 or notices on the front end.
- PHP notices on the attendee registration page and ticket details section have been resolved.

---

#### ℹ️ Changes

- The meta field view templates (located in `v2/components/meta`) support placeholder text and are used on the attendee registration screen when the feature to collect attendee information on a per-ticket basis is enabled.
- Ticket editor warnings have been moved to Event Tickets.
