Release-note summary from the official changelog.
- Calendar-export handling is hardened; the vendor credits the reporting researcher.

What This Update Means
The short release note describes a security-focused maintenance change. It does not provide enough detail to assign a specific exploit or severity. Calendar exports deserve testing because they can be consumed outside the website. An administrator should confirm that expected export links still behave correctly. Recurring events and additional fields should also be checked after a version jump. No new translation strings suggests limited editorial impact on localized installations. The Pro package still depends on a compatible installation of the free calendar base. This update should not be presented as a bundled ticket-sales system.
The Events Calendar Pro 7.8.5 focuses on calendar-export hardening, according to the vendor-maintained release log. This is a security maintenance release rather than the introduction of a new event-planning feature.
Released on October 29, 2026, this version is the Pro package currently supplied by GPLHub. The free base plugin and specialist ticketing extensions remain separate components with their own requirements.
Clearing a field is a change, not an empty action
A calendar editor may remove every accessibility option, facility or category-like choice from a checkbox field. If an older value remains stored, the published event can still tell visitors something the editor deliberately removed. Check the saved record and the public event after that edit, rather than assuming an empty control means an empty value.
Recurring dates deserve the same attention. Create a small test series, change one date and inspect the public result. Include an exception, such as a cancelled weekly meeting, so the check covers more than the default pattern.
Pro extends the calendar
The recurring-events documentation describes the Pro workflow. The free The Events Calendar plugin is the base product; Event Tickets, Event Tickets Plus and other specialist extensions have their own installation and purchase requirements.
This page supplies the Pro archive only, not those separate ticketing products or the free base. Keep the base plugin’s compatibility requirements in view when preparing an existing installation.
The Events Calendar Pro nulled is a search label, not a guarantee of maintained software or vendor support. Preserve the events database and configuration before testing an update, especially where public dates and bookings are already in use.
