Event Description preview showing Visual Composer code

[rockcityrecord]

The preview for event descriptions in all calendar views is showing the code used by visual composer to create the content. Is there any way of fixing this to have alternate text of my choosing?

Hi – I’m sorry you’re hitting difficulties.

By default the events list displays an excerpt (which may be generated automatically) and this would not normally include any shortcodes.

However, I wouldn’t expect valid shortcodes to display at all in this situation: that makes me think that, although what you shared looks like a nest of shortcodes, it is actually something bespoke that only your theme/visual composer plugin understands.

Can you confirm which theme or plugin you are using that implements this?

In the default template used within list view to display an individual event we are, ultimately, using nothing more exotic than WordPress’s the_excerpt() function – can you confirm with the vendor of your theme/plugin if there is some better approach?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
