Hi Amber,
Thanks for reaching out!
By default, there is a message displayed when there are no upcoming events for a category (see screenshot). However, the Avada theme adds its own styles to our plugin, so it may be overriding the defaults for this page. I would try changing the “Default stylesheet used for events templates” and “Events template” settings under Events > Settings > Display, which affect how much the events pages inherit their styling from the theme.
You could also add your own message by doing a customization – our themer’s guide is the place to start if you’d like to give this a shot! Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Jennifer
