Remove titles from Grouped List when no events

    I’m using the [if-not-all-day] to avoid showing any all day events in our calendar. That works fine, but if all of the events for a day are not show, Grouped List within the widget still shows a header for that date, such as “Events on September 27, 2015” with no events below it. These “empty” dates then contribute to the widget count of how many events are showing.

    I’d love to be able to have all-day events not impact the Group List output at all. In other words, I’d like the header for that date to not be there, and have those events no impact the widget count. Is there a way to do this?

    Hey thanks for the feedback

    those tags you use in the WordPress editor are meant to change the appearance of each event that is printed in a calendar. Think of it as a template system. They allow you to change the appearance of an event that is already returned by the calendar, but not filter the events that the calendar produces, because they are already there, there is already an output. That’s why they appear already ‘counted’ to you, because they are.

    If you want, please tell me more on how are you using the plugin and why would you need to hide whole day events. Maybe I can get a better picture and see if there’s something I could suggest or do in the future versions of the plugin.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the response, much appreciated. Here’s the use case:

    https://oremet.org/events/

    We’ve got holidays which are all-day events, and then “real events” which are at particular times. I’m keeping the holidays out of the widget. Yeah, I know the right way to do this is probably to have two separate calendars. Someone else other than me manages the calendars, and I was trying to keep someone else from having to rework the way they do things.

    Thanks for the insights

    currently there’s no way to filter events by category as Google doesn’t really have tags or categories – so categories for now it’s a thing only in this plugin to organize entire Calendars not events within calendars – at least for the time being

    what you could do, though, is to experiment with the ‘search’ feature of Google Calendar. Google allows some filtering in the search field, and look for events matching certain keywords (which can be also negative if you prepend a “-” minus before the keyword, eg. -keyword will look for events that don’t have that word in them; as well as common search operators like AND or OR, etc).

    The only caveat is that this control is not too granular and the result it’s up entirely to Google

    Playing with search is a good idea. Thanks!
