How to Exclude a Category on Events Page?

I need to show all categories on my events page except for one category. How would I do that? I used this code including only the following categories and expired but it’s still including all events and displaying a title at the top of the page saying Clients Only. I couldn’t find any code on the ShortCode Docs page showing how to exclude a category but still show expired events. However, I don’t want that category to show even if it is expired… Make sense?

[EVENT_LIST show_expired=true category_identifier="open-1-day-or-split-night-morning-class, open-split-night-class, client-only-event, pastoral-staff-event, church-only-event"]

If I’m understanding correctly, you could add a separate shortcode for each category, like so:

[EVENT_LIST show_expired=true event_category_id="open-1-day-or-split-night-morning-class"]
[EVENT_LIST show_expired=true event_category_id="open-split-night-class"]
[EVENT_LIST show_expired=true event_category_id="client-only-event"]
[EVENT_LIST show_expired=true event_category_id="pastoral-staff-event"]
[EVENT_LIST show_expired=true event_category_id="church-only-event"]

Then, you can just omit the shortcode for the categories you don’t want to show.

Thanks. But how do I exclude a category regardless of it’s date being expired or current?

You would just leave that category’s shortcode out and list only the ones you want to show.

Maybe I’m not following you?

Ok, I think I was confused… Makes sense now. Thanks!
