# Events Calendar Pro 5.8.0

### Summary

Feature Release

This updated version of Events Calendar Pro includes an update to the [WordPress Customizer](https://www.liquidweb.com/knowledgebase/k/wordpress-customizer-2/)), adding Events Bar styling options.

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.

***The Events Calendar Pro 5.8.0 is only compatible with Events Calendar 5.8.0 and higher***.
