3.3 – handling with "category"

The category in the plugin is NOT a category like a post category, but a taxonomy.
If you try to do something based on wp_list_categories function, some of the option won’t work. For example, hide empty categories.

A basic code like this doesn’t hide anything.

$args = array(
	'taxonomy'     => 'tribe_events_cat',
	'orderby'      => 'name',
	'show_count'   => 0,    // 1 for yes, 0 for no
	'hierarchical' => 1,
	'title_li'     => '',
	'hide_empty'   => 1
	);
wp_list_categories( $args );

One solution is to add “category” to the register_taxonomy option of the plugin. To do this, open the_events_calendar_class.php:1278 and add this into the array list:

'category' => 'tribe_events',

That’s it !
Surprisingly, i can also see now some messages, that never appeared before (i use this plugin since 3.0)….
