Restrict length of excerpt

[cd]

I am assuming this is a basic feature for which I have not yet found the settings or shortcode. I am looking to control the length of the excerpt shown when moving a cursor over an event in the calendar view. Ideally, I might be able to control the length on demand such as at the end of a sentence. Alternately, a fixed length of characters.

An example of a long description I wish to shorten is the evening of April 28.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Donald,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

You can try adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file in order to control the length of the excerpt you see in the tooltip:

Let me know if that helps!

 

Thanks,
