My Calendar Pro v3.4.0 is released! This is a major release, and includes a number of significant changes worth mentioning. Importer Improvements When importing .ics event sources, My Calendar Pro has historically taken each individual occurrence of an event and imported them as separate events.

Topics: Accessibility, WordPress.

Jeff Chandler posted a link in the Post Status Slack yesterday leading to an article complaining about the underlined link requirement for WordPress themes.

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, my interest in maintaining XPoster (née WP to Twitter) has been pretty low. Last year I invested the time to add Mastodon support, but while I’ve found Mastodon to be a much more inviting world than Twitter, it’s never really had a huge impact.
