notcategory not working in shortcode

[Anonymous]

Hi Franky —

At https://neohgolf.com/tournament-calendar/ I have a calendar shortcode that should be blocking the events of category 37 (Junior Tournaments, which I’m just starting to list).

But on July 28-29 (a recurring event), the only junior event I’ve put in thus far is still showing up: CMG Cleveland Junior Championship

I’m using the following shortcode to call the calendar there:
[events_calendar notcategory=33,37 full=1 scope=future]

Any ideas as to why the notcategory might not be working?

[Franky]

I’m guessing you want to exclude events from category 33 AND 37, not 33 OR 37 …
So you should use 33+37

I tried both commas and + between each event category with no difference in result. It’s something besides that.

But I suppose a work-around is to use category= and list them all out instead of notcategory= for the couple I don’t use. I will do that for now. Thx…

Well, in fact, after you said it still didn’t work, I tried for myself and indeed, there’s a bug in eme_calendar.php (nobody has ever reported that, it should’ve been in for quite some time …).
This is the fix (1-word typo fix in fact):

Pretty funny. Thanks for looking into and fixing it Franky…
