Version 1.6.0 — Addon Extensibility Hooks #

Comprehensive filter hooks across all query and output paths, global post exclusion, per-post access flags, and a centralised AccessControl utility.

Version 1.6.0 opens up every event query path to addons. Previously, only the calendar endpoint had filter hooks — now Bricks query loops, shortcodes, AJAX filtering, the public PHP API, and the stored occurrences layer all expose filters for modifying queries and results.

Extensibility Hooks

A full set of filter hooks across all query and output paths, giving addons fine-grained control over which events appear and how results are shaped.

• Bricks query loop filters — lre_bricks_query_args for modifying WP_Query arguments and lre_bricks_occurrence_results for modifying occurrence results before pagination.
• Stored occurrences query filters — lre_occurrence_store_query_args, lre_occurrence_store_query_where, and lre_occurrence_store_query_results for fine-grained control over database-backed occurrence queries.
• AJAX filter query hook — lre_filter_query_args for modifying the query when users apply frontend filters.
• Public API filters — lre_get_events_args and lre_get_events_results for modifying the public lre_get_events() function's input and output.
• Shortcode output filter — lre_shortcode_output allows addons to modify or wrap the output of any LRE shortcode.

Global Post Exclusion

New lre_excluded_post_ids filter lets addons exclude posts from all event query paths with a single hook. Results are cached per request for zero performance impact — addons no longer need to hook into each query path individually.

Per-Post Access Flags

New lre_post_access_flags filter provides a standardised way for addons to attach access metadata (e.g., members-only status, required tiers) to individual posts. This gives frontend templates a consistent data shape for rendering access indicators like lock icons or membership badges.

AccessControl Utility

New centralised AccessControl helper class for merging excluded post IDs into both WP_Query and OccurrenceStore query arguments. Addons can use it to apply exclusions consistently without duplicating the merge logic.
