Limit Characters in Event Title

[Mary Fetterman]

Is there a way to easily limit the number of characters can use in the titles of their events?

Hi Mary 🙂

Though you’ve posted in the Events Calendar PRO area and have a valid license for that plugin, I see you also have a Community Events license. Does your question apply to that plugin (ie, frontend submissions via Community Events)? If so, the following snippet may be useful for you:

This could be added either to a custom plugin (preferred) or else to your theme’s functions.php file.

You can modify it to suit your needs, but by default it tries to stop users from creating titles longer than 65 characters. Let me know if that helps, or any other details that will help me understand your problem if not.

Thanks!
