 * Hello,
 * I have been using this shortcode:
 *     ```
       [events_list_grouped mode="monthly" scope="2-months" limit="0" category="-No Slots Available"]
   
       #_12HSTARTTIME-<strong>#_EVENTNAME</strong>#_ATT{<strong>Brief Description</strong>}
   
       [/events_list_grouped]
       ```
   
 * The custom attribute value is not showing whereas it used to. One issue that 
   might be causing it is that we recently edited that custom attribute’s name in
   Events Manager Settings? I’m seeing in the Custom Fields that Events Manager 
   automatically creates, the attribute name did not update. Is there anyway to 
   update the database to reflect the current name of the custom attribute and then
   use it in an events list shortcode?
 * Thanks for your help,
 * Anne

 * can you try to use -123 where 123 is the events category ID instead of “-No Slots
   Available” and see if this makes any difference?

 * Thanks, I solved it by going into the database and finding every iteration of
   that field’s description we ever used and then added that to the shortcode.
