Calendar View – add ellipses to end of description on tooltip

[Jennifer]

On the Calendar View (I have the Pro Version, though I don’t think it matters), the tooltip excerpt ends abruptly at the end of the set number of excerpt words. If it cuts off words, there is no ellipses, and it looks really, really awkward. How can I add an ellipses to the end of the description on the tooltip when there are too many words to display?

Howdy Jennifer,

It would be my pleasure to assist with this.

Actually by default you should be seeing that ellipsis, along with a continue reading link:

If you are not seeing this there are a couple of possibilities:

1. You have specified an excerpt for this event. If you edit the event, usually down near the bottom of the edit page is an excerpt box. This overrides any content that appears in the posts excerpts such as on this page, and if it does not end with an ellipsis neither will this.
2. There is a conflict, perhaps your theme. In order to proceed we will need to test if a “conflict” is happening, and if so narrow it down so we can find a fix for it. This guide walks you through how to test for a conflict, and then identify what is conflicting.

Does that all make sense? Can you try those steps?

Cheers!
