Getting Description and Details to Display with ShortCode

[Michael Brennan]

Hello,

We are testing The Event Calendar PRO feature now by having a list of events show up on the home page. You can see that further down.

The three events we have set up each have a description in the event post.

We’re using the shortcode [tribe_events_list] to display the list. Unfortunately, the description is not displaying with the shortcode. Any chance there is a switch we need to use? We were not able to locate the information in The Events Calendar website.

Perhaps there are other switches to display more information too?

Thanks for the help.

Hey Michael,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

You could accomplish this by adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file. If you’re uncomfortable adding snippets there, you can add them using a plugin such as

add_action( 'tribe_events_list_widget_after_the_event_title', function() { the_content(); } );

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
