I know this is not a generate press (or even GP premium) concern but I have contacted Time.ly support and was able to receive no help.

I have a calendar page with a dropdown list of 3 categories corresponding to events from three categories of calendar events. Since the last one (personal) displays personal events, I would like to hide it from view, and have the dropdown list show only two categories.

Is there some code snippet that would do this?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi there,

i found this rather old topic where they provide a filter snippet for excluding categories. Might still do the trick:

Thanks David,

I will see if I can modify that script to work with the Time.ly calendar. The script you refer to works with the Modern Tribe calendar.

Don't quote me but i think they are the same thing, the markup looks identical and it begins with this comment on your site:

Hopefully it works :) their support forum was horrendous lol i could be completely wrong - they all use the same name

Well looks like i got that totally wrong.... sorry.
How is the calendar output? Using a shortcode? If thats the case could you not define what categories it displays:

Yes, there support forum doesn't have much to offer.

Thanks for trying though.

I have created some pages just using shortcakes. However, it is a lot cleaner and nicer to be able to use the default calendar page that includes a dropdown filter for the categories.
