Hello, does EE new version give the ability to have a message appear if no events are listed or if not listed in certain category?
Wondering where this is and what shortcode.

Hi there,
Which new version are you referring to, please?
If you are using EE4 with the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode then it should automatically output your themes ‘content-none.php` template file when no events are found (if the theme has one).
If you have a shortcode in use on a page somewhere can you link me to that page so I can take a look?

OK, so yes that’s the standard event list shortcode and it uses your themes content-none.php as output for when nothing is found, which it looks like your theme does not have.
Looking at your site it looks like your using a custom theme with Elementor, are you creating the theme yourself?

Reply to last message:
Theme is not custom. It is Astra theme. We didn’t see the content-none.php file. What do you suggest at this point?

Hi there,
Support threads automatically close if there is no activity, as there wasn’t a reply for 2 weeks and 2 days from my last reply it would have automatically closed, however, I’ve reopened it and merged your new thread into it.
Are you using the latest version of Astra?
Can you send me a copy of the theme so I can take a look?

Ok, so Astra does have a content-none.php template but it’s within /template-parts/ which EE doesn’t check for by default.
I can give you a function to display the default content-none.php template file but then within that is nothing event-specific, it looks like this:
https://monosnap.com/file/OVTJ3aOW8qFcFe9wWcYKhuMmtLb8Ng
So here is what I would do, first create a child them for Astra:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/
That allows you to copy template files into your child theme to be loaded.
Next, copy /template-parts/content-none.php into your child themes root directory.
Rename that copy to espresso_content-none.php
Add this function to your child theme:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/3b0487a025306da5f4535677c59e9f12
Now you can edit that espresso_content-none.php template file to output whatever you prefer when EE events are not found.

can we customize it to say “no event shown”?

Yes, you change that espresso_content-none.php template file to output whatever you prefer.
At it’s most basic, you could have something like:
<section class="no-results not-found">
<div class="page-content">
<p>no event shown<p>
</div><!-- .page-content -->
</section><!-- .no-results -->
