How to limit text in upcoming events widget?

[Michael]

Hi, how do I limit the text displayed in the upcoming events widget? I’d like to have it do a -more- when it runs out of space. You can see what it’s doing on the first page of the site.

Thanks.

Good evening Michael and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

From the looks of it, your “Upcoming events” / Advanced list event widget already has some customization (since it normally does not display the event’s content.

Could you please send me a copy of your WordPress theme / child theme in a .zip file link (via Dropbox or Google Drive) so that I can run some tests on my end ? In a private reply ideally.

Please ensure you are using the latest files as found on your actual website.
This way I will get access to any updates you might have made.

Basically, the best solution would be to grab the_excerpt and not the actual content of an event.

Best regards,

Geoff B.
