4.0 hover/preview in month view shows full event description, not excerpt

I second this – what gives tri.be – I hope you can hotfix this pronto as my site is only a calendar site (so its just your plugin basically) and its messed it all up so it aint pretty no more!

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for reaching out to us and bringing this issue to our attention!

Hey everyone,

We do have a fix coming for this, however, in the meantime you can fix this issue by making some quick modifications to the core plugin. These changes will get overridden with the next update which will include an official fix to this issue.

Within the main Events Calendar plugin, navigate to the src > functions > template-tags > general.php file and open it within your preferred text editor.

Navigate to line #1320 within that file. It should look like:

$excerpt = wp_trim_excerpt( $excerpt );

You can change that line to be:

$excerpt = wp_trim_words( $excerpt, '55' );

Where “55” is the number of words that you would like the excerpt to be there.

Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns here.

Thanks!
