    Hi Stephen! I’ve added some categories to my event listings, and I’d like to specify a default category for new events – similar to the option for regular WP posts under Settings –> Reading. But I don’t see anything like that under Settings –> Events. Is it possible? (As it stands right now, the first category – which gets checked by default – is a rarely used one, and I anticipate more than a few events being mistakenly assigned this category as a result.)

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Hi Adam,

    By default, not category is selected. If you’re seeing a category pre-selected for new events, there maybe another plug-in interfering there.

    I think the solution here is a combination of this answer: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/66832/9364 and this answer: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/41126/how-can-i-set-a-default-category-for-a-custom-post-type-in-wordpress

    The taxonomy/category here is ‘event-category’.

    My bad! Indeed, no event is automatically selected when creating a new event. Should’ve checked that, but assumed that it worked the same way as regular posts.

    Many thanks!
