Show categories with no events

[Sabina Ramsey]

Is it possible to show the categories in the Filter Bar category list that do not currently have events? I have added filtering events by county categories but some counties just currently don’t have any events. To a user I think it looks like we just forgot to add County A rather than them clicking on it, and seeing that there are no events or getting a notification that there are currently no events for that county (like what the shortcode does).

Hi, Sabina.

Allowing a user to select an Event Category that doesn’t have any events sounds like a recipe for a poor user experience… why let them select an empty category unknowingly and then get an unexpected result (no events)?

Additionally, it sounds like you’re using Event Categories for venue counties; is this correct?

I believe you’re requesting the same thing as one of our existing feature requests: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/9803577-add-a-region-field-to-venues-and-a-shortcode-to-f

Please do add your vote there.

This allows us to gauge interest in this particular feature request, which helps us prioritize our development efforts.

Thank you.
