Version 4.0 of the Constant Contact Plugin

I’ve been working on releasing a new version of the Constant Contact plugin for months, and it’s finally ready. The result: faster, more reliable, more features, and did I mention faster!?

The Form Designer, inline editing, and EventSpot are all 100% better. I highly recommend upgrading.

This plugin requires PHP Version 5.5 or newer. If you have a lower version, you will be presented with instructions on upgrading your installation.

Update: Now on WordPress.org

Download Version 4.0 from WordPress.org

Why isn’t this on WordPress.org yet?

WordPress.org doesn’t allow code to use PHP 5.4 or newer. This will be fixed soon, but until it is, please download the plugin here.

Once WordPress.org fixes this issue, I will update this post, and the plugin will resume auto-upgrading as usual.

Details:

• Version: 4.0.1
• Released: April 8, 2016
• Compatible with: WordPress 4.5
