categories<\/p>\n<p>If found this option to show only events from the category your-journey-to-self-employment<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.businessfactorynt.co.uk\/events\/category\/outdoors\/your-journey-to-self-employment\/<\/p>\n<p>But I also wanted a calendar that was the inverse of this i.e. all of the remaining categories.<\/p>\n<p>I bought the Pro plugin thinking I could use the following:<\/p>\n<p>[tribe_events view=&#8221;month&#8221; categories=&#8221;design, networking, social-media&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>But this does not work, and I&#8217;m guessing this got mixed up whilst looking up short code information, e.g.<\/p>\n<p>[tribe_events view=&#8221;month&#8221; category=&#8221;your-journey-to-self-employment&#8221;] &#8211; OK<br \/>\n[tribe_mini_calendar categories=&#8221;design, networking, social-media&#8221;] &#8211; OK<br \/>\n[tribe_events view=&#8221;month&#8221; categories=&#8221;design, networking, social-media&#8221;] &#8211; Not OK<\/p>\n<p>I then spotted the comment -&#8216; Unfortunately, the [tribe_events] shortcode does not currently support multiple categories&#8217; on the page https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/filtering-events-using-short-tags-not-working\/ <\/p>\n<p>So the workaround would be to create a parent category for the multiple categories I want to display<\/p>\n<p>Based on the above it looks like I didn&#8217;t need the Pro version at all (I have gained nothing in terms of what I want to do).<\/p>\n<p>Can you please confirm I am right as I may want to drop the pro version and get a refund.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance<br
