I have MEC events plugin with shortcodes for different event categories entered into an ACF pro field, working fine. In the twig template I've tried:

{% if events.featured_events_shortcode is not empty %}
   <div id="featured" class="">
      {{ events.featured_events_shortcode | shortcodes  }}
   </div>
{% endif %}

But of course this checks if there is a shortcode, not whether the shortcode has any results, so what shows on screen is 'No event found!' instead I would rather not show the div if there are no events.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
