This is a major update in response to the numerous ways COVID-19 is impacting event scheudles. We've integrated the full range of Google's new Structured Data (GSD) statuses. The change will allow you to manually set the status of events, which in turn will show up in Google search results:

• Scheduled: everything normal, no changes.
• Cancelled: keeps the original date/time but the cancelled notification appears.
• Postponed: keeps the original date but indicates it will ultimately be rescheduled. Once a new schedule has been set, change this to Rescheduled.
• Rescheduled: you'll enter an new date/time.The original date/time is stored for reference.
• Moved Online: replaced all of the venue related information with a URL to the online location.

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.

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.
