Issue with stripping of HTML in tribe_events_get_the_excerpt

[Joel]

In the file the-events-calendar\src\functions\template-tags\general.php

there is a function, tribe_events_get_the_excerpt, that is stripping out the embedded HTML within my Event Post.
I’d like to keep the formatting I’ve laid out, but there is a line of code that strips the HTML

// Now we actually trim it
$excerpt = wp_trim_words( $excerpt, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more );

Later in the code (a couple lines down), there is a call to
// Remove “all” HTML based on what is allowed
$excerpt = wp_kses( $excerpt, $allowed_html );

but at this point, the variable $excerpt has already been stripped of the HTML, so the variable $allowed_html is not doing anything.

Suggestions? Is there a fix?
Apparently, I can’t setup an override to the general.php function “tribe_events_get_the_excerpt”, so I’ve been modifying the underlying code, but then this gets overwritten on the next update.

What do you suggest?

Hi Joel,

Thanks for bringing this issue up! We are in fact aware of this and working on adding a new filter to the tribe_events_get_the_excerpt output so this default behavior can be changed.

I also found this snippet in the bug report that might help you until the filter is added:

Please give it a try and let me know if it works for now,
Best,
Nico
