I saw a few posts about this, but they seem to be using EE3.

Is this function still valid/working in EE4? Im getting an error saying im calling an unknown function.

$category_name = espresso_event_category_data($event_id, TRUE);

Hi there,

Anything from EE3 will generally not work in EE4. Since EE4’s events are custom post types, you can get the event’s category slug with the wp_get_post_terms() function.
