3.2.0 - Venture Event Manager 3.2.0
Release Date: August 6, 2019
We have all sorts of new functionality to roll out, not the least of which is the brand new occurrence category feature. It provides a way for you to create your own categories and assign to individual occurrences. In turn, those categories can show up on the frontend as display filters on all calendar types. You can also upload images, which expands the functionality even more by making it easy to create something like accessibility driven functionality; think letting visitors see occurrences that only offer ASL interpretation.
We also have a brand new functionality that enhances existing WordPress galleries by way of applying a masonry layout for default WP galleries along with a clean image popup feature.
Highlighted Changes

- ImprovedInclude ticket pricing in the data sent to calendars
- ImprovedInclude ticket pricing in the display of calendar popups and panels, but hide it via CSS by default
- Bug FixFix a problem with display order on some grouped-occurrence listings
Other Changes
- Occurrence categories can have images
- Occurrence categories have a "chunk" that can be added to layouts
- Occurrence categories can be used as a dynamic filter on calendars
- Occurrence categories are now displayed on calendars, popups, and panels
- Add some additional classes to calendar days to support more styling options when filtering
- The dark/light calculation for category colors is included as "lightness" and sent to calendars
- By default, occurrence category images are inverted via CSS when on dark backgrounds

3.1.5 - Venture Event Manager 3.1.5
Release Date: January 10, 2019
AN IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTICE: In some cases, after updating to v3.1.4+ some of the event, calendar, and listing menu items may be hidden until you deactivate and reactivate the plugin.
For those interested in the geeky details:
In v3.1.4, some of the capabilities used to determine access to various post types (like events, event listings, etc) were decoupled from those used to determine access to the built in "post" post type. In some cases, this has meant that until the current user's capabilities are refreshed, some menu items might appear missing.
Resolving this is as simple as deactivating and reactivating the Venture Event Manager plugin. We recommend you do this now.
Other Changes
- Add mechanism to display notices when upgrades might require an extra step
- Add instructions to deactivate and reactivate VEM after upgrade to v3.1.4+
