Excerpt length in photo view

[Sophie]

Hello,

Hoping you can help. I’m trying to get the excerpts in the text boxes beneath the images to be set to the same height so everything is aligned on this page – http://www.developmentpreview.co.uk/tbudds/cooking-classes/

I tried using the ‘Read More’ tag in the editor but it hasn’t had an affect. Could you please point me in the right direction as to what to do?

Also, on the same page, the title of the back is ‘Upcoming Events’ and the back button is ‘Previous Events’ is there a way I can change ‘events’ to read ‘classes’?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Good evening Sophie and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
We will gladly try to assist you on this topic.

The easiest solution to what you are looking to do is to use the Excerpt meta box in your Events posts.
If that box is not displaying on your page, you can get it to appear using the screen options at the top right of the Edit Event screen.

Basically, the plugin will look for any content in that box. If it can’t find any, it will then resort to displaying the content from the post itself (which is why you are experiencing variable lengths).

Finally, you can totally make things automatic by changing the excerpt’s length in the functions.php file of your theme.

Absolutely! Please read the following article on that topic and you should be good to go.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
