(Solved) Supress Event Description or Excerpt from /events

[efromdc]

How can I remove the description or excerpt from being displayed at /events/<<any view>>?
Of course I want them displayed when you click the link and see the individual page…but on http://url/events I want no description or excerpt. JUST the photo

Thanks

This is a high priority for me…can someone hold my hand please on this one?

Howdy efromdc,

I am very sorry for this late response. For some reason we were not notified of this topic when you posted it.

This snippet should do exactly what you want. Paste it at the top of your theme’s functions.php file, underneath the first line “<?php”. If your theme does not have a functions.php file, go to your theme folder, create a new text document file called “functions.php”, and paste this text in the first line of the file “<?php”. On line 2 or 3, paste that snippet.

Did that work for you? Can I help you further? Please let me know. Cheers!

You know…I thought about this a bit more. You answer was perfect, but I think I want a slightly different approach: YOu code snippet implies that “$excerpt” is defined SOMEWHERE. I’d like to change the output from $excerpt = ” to $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, 50); so as to just display the first 50 characters.

Would that achieve the new desired outcome?

Never mind. I tried it and it works pretty well…

I am glad to hear that worked efromdc. I hope the site development goes smooth. Cheers! – Brook
