# Event Tickets Plus 5.2.8

### Summary

Maintenance Release

This updated version of Event Tickets Plus includes several bug fixes and minor improvements.

As always, we recommend updating on a [staging site](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/), just to be safe, but it should all be smooth sailing.

- Updated WooCommerce to use `wc\_get\_order` instead of `new WC\_Order`.
