Could the Category be required?

It can be done bro.

Add the following code snippet to require a category:

add_filter( 'em_event_validate', 'my_em_event_validate', 10, 2 );
function my_em_event_validate( $is_valid, $EM_Event ) {
    if( count($EM_Event->get_categories()) == 0 ){
        $is_valid = false;
        $EM_Event->add_error(__("A category must be specified.", 'events-manager') );
    }
    return $is_valid;
}

You can use the Code Snippets plugin to add this code snippet.

Thank you @joneiseman and @enkoes !

Could you please tell where else can I add the codes if I do not use the extra plugin? I tried my theme functions.php but it does not work and has_filter(“em_event_validate”) returns false

Adding it to the theme functions.php should work fine. If has_filter(“em_event_validate”) returns false it means you didn’t add the code snippet to your theme functions.php. The first line of the code snippet adds a function to the em_event_validate filter so has_filter(“em_event_validate”) will return true.

Here it describes various ways to add code snippets to WordPress: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-code-in-wordpress-without-breaking-your-site/

What version of Events Manager do you have installed?
