Formatting Questions

[Antoinette]

1. How do I stretch all the events pages including the single event page to full width? currently there is a line on right and its not full width. http://happyboosters.com/events/photo/

2. How can I limit the word count in the excerpt to reduce the words displayed. For example to only show the 1st 30 words. Thanks.

Hey @Antoinette,

Thanks for reaching out! I’m happy to help with your questions here but, just for future reference and to set expectations for any further questions that may arise, I would like to mention that we can’t officially offer any support for customizations or design tweaks here. You can learn more about this in the “Product Support” section of our license and website terms.

With that being said, let’s tend to your issues now 🙂

---

1. This issue may be related to the templates provided by your theme. What I would recommend first is to head to Events > Settings > Display in your site’s wp-admin. On this settings pane, scroll down until you find the option called “Events template”.

Try out each different option here. For each available template, save the changes and check on that link again to see if the layout shifts to full-width at all.

If not, then set this option back to “default template” and let me know – in this case, we’d have to proceed with some custom CSS unfortunately 🙁

---

2. This should be possible by adding a filter in your theme’s functions.php file. Something like this should help:


function tribe_1036559_excerpt( $length ) {
return 30;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'tribe_1036559_excerpt', 999 );


You can learn more about this filter here → https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/excerpt_length

I hope this information helps!

Cheers,
George
