Event description is stripped of it's formatting.

[jason]

Event descriptions do not display any formatting.

You may view the calendar at:

Take for example January 19th. Upon hovering, you can see the excerpt is stripped of it’s tags (

,, etc).

Out of all the display views, the single-event is the only one that displays properly.

I understand this is a wordpress “feature” to strip excerpts, and that Modern Tribe has done this for compatibility, however, I don’t understand why you have not given the users the choice to customize this functionality. It is a very basic request to want a line break in an excerpt, yet it is impossible without various hacks/workarounds which I have not been able to figure out.

The excerpts are formatted because that’s how I want them to display. Please tell me how to fix this issue, and please tell me that there are developments in the works to solve this problem for users. I have a very hard time believing that users aren’t frustrated by the fact that they can’t have bold text or line breaks in their event descriptions.

Thank you for your support.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.
