New problem with display

[James Kendall]

Hello,
I hope you can help. I am using Evenets Calendar pro. I deactivated WooTickets to try and fix something but when I did this the Photo display of my events page changed from the usual Photo view to the same view but with the full event description included, rather than just the first 10 lines or so. This makes the page look very messy and wordy.
I reactivated WooTickets but the problem is still there.

How can I get the photo display mode to revert to the normal view?

You can see this at: http://www.woodlandclassroom.com/events

Thanks,

James

Hey James,

Thanks for reaching out to us and bringing this issue to our attention!

We’ve got this bug logged in our internal tracking system and will notify you here as we make progress on this issue. I apologize for any inconvenience that this issue has caused.

In the meantime, you can fix this issue by making some quick modifications to the core plugin. These changes will get overridden with the next update which will include an official fix to this issue.

Within the main The Events Calendar plugin, navigate to the src > functions > template-tags > general.php file and open it within your preferred text editor.

Navigate to line #1320 within that file. It should look like:

$excerpt = wp_trim_excerpt( $excerpt );

You can change that line to be:

$excerpt = wp_trim_words( $excerpt, ’55’ );

…where “55” is the number of words that you would like the excerpt to be there.

Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns here.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hello Geoff,

Thanks for getting back o me and giving me a solution… however I have no idea how to get to the inside of the plug in so that I can edit it. I’m not technically minded myself. Would you mind explaining this part in more detail please?

Thanks,

Sure! You can access the files by accessing your site via FTP. Once you’re in, the plugin is located in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar

If you’re having trouble accessing the files on your server, I would recommend connecting with your host to get that access.
