Our site is live at this point and we have had over 200 transactions.
On your recommendation, we are using “waitless” as a workaround to hide events from the calendar but the resulting side effects are worse for us than the solution. The Event Overview becomes very clunky with the filters needing to be constantly reset to All. I have abandon the workaround and reset all events (except legitimate waitlist events) to public.
I have also experienced issues with the subscriber account view not showing some customers’ events. While I cannot be certain of it, the assigning of waitlist has a correlation. Not clear it is the causation but between the two side-effects we may need to forgo the Calendar altogether. Obviously, the calendar is one of the primary reasons we have migrated to EE.
We have an annual conference, so the calendar is stuffed with 70+ events over a 4 day period. Many of the “events” are really access passes for several days. They are not truly events with start and end times. I’d like to hide those. I have set the meta key “allDay” to “true” and that helps.
I’d use css display:”none” but there is no class that is assigned to individual events within the calendar and the pseudo class selectors are unreliable because they would need to be reset each time events were added.
I was able to do some customization to the “fullcalendar” files in my original setup and I have reviewed their documentation. I’m asking for some advice before customizing further. Do you have any experience using the “removeEvents” function to achieve what I am trying to do? It appears that “allDaySlot” doesn’t work with the month view so while that would help some it isn’t ideal.

Hi there,
While we generally do not support customizations, we can advise that the calendar has a feature where it can be set to display events from one category. This feature can be used in this situation since you’re trying to remove events from the calendar’s display. To use it, you’d create an event category to place your events into that you want displayed on the calendar, then add the category parameter to the shortcode.

That does do the trick. A tip is that the category name needs to be A-Z order before any other category if you wish to maintain the color codes assigned to the “real” categories. So “A” would be a good category name to achieve this. I had used “ZZ” to blackout the title names but of course the blocks still remained.
As always, thanks and good luck with EE4.
