Absolutely appreciate the help!
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get it working. Maybe I’m implementing wrong. I’m adding to the theme’s functions.php file. It doesn’t seem to break anything. However, events are still showing on the calendar.
Great idea – from what I understand it looks like we are tricking the calendar into displaying null categories and changing the text display from “no events” to “please choose a category.”
Thanks much,
