Excerpt lenght for list view

[Samarpan P.]

We would like to increase the lenght of the excerpt for the list view of events (see example). The excerpt is now truncated to 30 words. How can we do that, preferably without using a plugin? The excerpt function seems to strip HTML tags. Why? Can we fix that?

Hey,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

You can modify the excerpt length by utilizing the “excerpt_length” filter. Something like:

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'tribe_excerpt_length' );
function tribe_excerpt_length() {
return '60';
}

should help you to increase the length of the excerpt.

Additionally, there is an array of allowed HTML elements that can be used with the excerpt (https://cloudup.com/cuGqug1S5Pu). You can use the “tribe_events_excerpt_allowed_html” filter to modify this list if you would like.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
