Adsense units showing in snippet

[Linda]

Hi, on each individual event I add an adsense unit somewhere in the text. Up until today this was fine and did not show up in the list view of the events calendar (snippet text) however today I updated to the latest version of wordpress and events calendar and now it shows ? Any ideas? How can I avoid this happening?

[Linda]

Sorry…..I know I can add an excerpt to stop this but is there another way which would avoid me having to go into each individual event and doing this? (I dont normally use excerpt) Before the update it just ignored any adsense text and took the text before and after it and this worked well for me.
Thanks again for any help 🙂

Hey @Linda,

Sorry to hear about this – we can definitely help out, or at least try 🙂

One thing I’m curious about is if this is supposed to be visible on your site – I checked out the link you provided but cannot see the issue you describe, as shown in this screenshot:

If you have temporarily rolled back to earlier versions or something like that, would you mind re-updating or just otherwise ensure this issue is still visible on your site? I am sorry to request this! I know your site is a live, active site. However, if you do this I will be able to see the exact problem.

Thank you,
George

Hi George,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
The issue doesnt occur on every event – it depends how far down the actual event listing I have put the adsense unit. If you scroll down on the main whats-on page to April 2016 you will see the three events under that show part of the adsense code. This is obviously because the adsense units are higher up on those event listings.
I hope that makes sense!

Thanks for this @Linda!

The problem seems to be that the HTML “script” tags specifically are being stripped; everything else seems fine, just these HTML tags.

Now, this partially intentional for security purposes, but allowing script tags may be possible if you add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_excerpt_allowed_html', 'tribe_add_script_tags_filter' );

function tribe_add_script_tags_filter( $allowed_html ) {
​
$base_attrs = array(
'class' => array(),
'id' => array(),
'style' => array(),
);
​
$allowed_html['script'] = $base_attrs;
​
return $allowed_html;
}


Thank you!
George

I’m sorry Linda! This is weird because I do not have this error at all…

Any improvement if you just replace the above code with this simpler version?


add_filter( 'tribe_events_excerpt_allowed_html', 'tribe_add_script_tags_filter' );

function tribe_add_script_tags_filter( $allowed_html ) {
​
$allowed_html['script'] = array(
'class' => array(),
'id' => array(),
'style' => array(),
);
​
return $allowed_html;
}


Thank you,
George

Hi again

I think I will stick with the excerpt feature as I’m not overly confident amending code.

Thank you anyway for your help, much appreciated

[George]

Sounds good Linda, thank you for the update. I will close up this thread for now but if other questions, comments, or concerns arise, open a new thread any time!

Cheers,
George
