# Virtual Events 1.0.3

### Summary

Maintenance Release

Virtual Events 1.0.3 features the addition of filters so that users can easily change the “virtual events” phrase, as well as a new filter for Virtual Events when using Filter Bar.

This is a minor release that should be smooth sailing when updating. That said, it’s always a good idea to [backup](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-site-backups/) your site and test changes in a [development environment](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) before installing this on your live site, as you would with any other WordPress update.

#### ✨ New

New features included in this release

- We have added specific filtering for the “virtual” term and utilize it in our filters for “Virtual Event(s)”. You can read more about how to do that [here](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/customize-virtual-events/).
- We have added settings to allow showing virtual content to logged-in users only.
- We added virtual events as a radio button filter for Filter Bar.
- We also added a check using the Zoom API to automatically update the meeting password in your site when visiting the admin editor for an event or when visiting the front-end of the event on a 1 hour interval.
- We have added virtual event info to the Google Calendar and iCal exports, so that virtual events will be included when exporting events from the single event page.
- We changed the tooltip for the virtual icon to say “Virtual” and added a blue hover state to the icon.
- We changed a warning message for unembeddable links to something more informative. We also now include a link to WP oEmbed page.
- We now allow disabling Zoom connection and link generation from an event by returning false using the new filter `tribe_events_virtual_zoom_meeting_link_allow_generation` or `tribe_events_virtual_link_allow_generation`.
- We have moved all Virtual Events CSS rules within the `.virtual-event-wrapper.eventtable` wrapper to add specificity so generic form field rules don’t accidentally get overriden, such as by the theme or Community Events when displayed on the front-end.

#### ✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release

- We now prevent the current URL from being returned for the Zoom join URL when an empty event ID is used and prevent certain `get_post_meta` calls from being done in that case.
- We fixed an issue where the plugin translations were not being correctly loaded on non-English websites.
