[SteveJonesDev]

This pull request enhances the WordPress dashboard's community events functionality by introducing a new "Global Events" section, adding a "Clear Location" button, and improving the user interface for event filtering and accessibility. Below is a summary of the most important changes:

New Features:

• Added a "Global Events" section to the dashboard, including a filter system (All, Accessibility, Learn) and a dynamic event rendering mechanism. This includes a new JavaScript function fetchGlobalEvents to fetch global events from an API and a template tmpl-global-events-event-list for rendering events. [1] [2] [3] [4]

User Interface Enhancements:

• Introduced a "Clear Location" button in the community events form to allow users to reset the location input field and clear cached events. This includes corresponding JavaScript functionality to handle the button's behavior. [1] [2]
• Updated the "Select location" button text to "Change location" for better clarity.

Code Simplifications:

• Removed redundant aria-expanded attributes from the "Cancel" button in the community events form, as they were unnecessary for its functionality. [1] [2] [3]

These changes collectively improve the dashboard's usability, accessibility, and functionality for managing and viewing events.
