# Virtual Events 1.8.3

### Summary

Maintenance Release

Virtual Events 1.8.3 adds an improvement to the Block Editor experience to make it look similar to the frontend.

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

#### ✅ Tweak

Small improvement to the plugin

- We’ve updated the backed Block Editor user experience for a single event to look similar to its frontend version. This creates a true WSIWYG experience when using the Block Editor.
