Limiting Word Count on ListView

[Razy]

Hi,

I am importing my events from Facebook (and they are mostly Mandarin). When I view the event in listview, it shows practically all of the event info there. I want to limit the number of characters shown to maybe 3 or 4 lines. Is there any easy way to do this without editing the code?

Cheers!

Hi Again,

Thanks for purchasing Facebook Events. I can help get you in the right direction.

There is no feature to limit the characters be default.

It does take a little coding that can be done following our themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Use that guide to move this template to your theme to safely edit:

the-events-calendar\views\list\single-event.php

There you would have to replace <?php the_excerpt() ?> with a function to limit the amount of content to how you would like it.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
