Rearrange different elements in single event page

[rowandaylor]

Hi,
I have two request.
1. I want to rearrange different items in the single event page –
I’d like the ticket box to appear after the text blurb, then detail box and finally the sharing box.

2. How do I limit the amount of text in the Event List page to, say 60 characters?

I’m on a tight deadline so I’d really appreciate if you could respond at the earliest opportunity. Thanks so much!

1. Make a copy of single-event.php (found here: wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/)to wp-content/themes/[your theme]/tribe-events/ and you can completely override the default single event template.
2. A few options here: You should be able to use the excerpt field from the event post to control the text in the Event List page. If you want to further limit the amount using a custom excerpt_length filter, you’ll want to add a function to your functions.php for that (see below):
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 20; //or whatever number you want here
}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );

-or- you can add the <!–more–> quick tag in the content itself at the exact location you want to truncate the text.

Thanks mate! Seeing how simple it’s to address it, I feel stupid!
