That sounds great, thank you!

Hi George,

Thank you for updating the function to prevent it from applying to excerpts outside of The Events Calendar.

However, I if anyone else is going to reference/use this function, I would just like to point out that I think there is a small syntax error:

The first line should be: if ( function_exists( ‘tribe_get_events’ ) ) {

Instead of if ( function_exists( ‘tribe_get_events’ ) ) :

At least that is what worked for us, as there seemed to be a syntax error otherwise.

By having the paragraphs “come through properly”, we meant having them come through at all. We think that having paragraphs come through in the excerpts is something that would make the excerpts look much better and be more readable. After all, the more that the Calendar List View excerpts can look like the actual content from their corresponding event, the better.

Should I make this suggestion through your suggestion portal, or is this something that is not reasonable to ask (since up until this thread there hasn’t seemed to be much attention paid to the display of the Calendar List View excerpts at all, so perhaps this is not a priority for your team)?

Thank you!

Ok, that is very strange – this body class was not appearing yesterday and it was causing some of our CSS customizations to be removed.

It does seem to be appearing properly now, thank you for your support.

Also, this function is now also affecting how our Blog excerpts appear.

We only wanted to make this change to our Calendar List View excerpts, not our Blog excerpts.

Is there something we can change to the code here to make this change only affect the Calendar List View excerpts and not the Blog excerpts?

[Justin]

Hi George,

Thank you – that code does seem to now preserve the HTML styles and links.

The only thing that is not coming through new are the paragraphs. The paragraphs are not being written into the HTML manually, but rather are automatically created by WordPress.

Is there any way to get the paragraphs to come through properly as well? Or can they somehow not be rendered because WordPress automatically adds them into the page content?

[Justin]

Additionally, links from the event content are not coming through in the excerpts either, and we would like those to render properly as well

Hello – we have an additional question regarding the List View excerpts:

Is there a way that we can have the List View excerpts not strip out formatting from the content (such as text formatting and paragraphs)? We would very much like to have our excerpts keep any text formatting and paragraphs that are contained within the original content.

Thank you!

[Justin]

Great, that works perfectly – thank you!!!

Hi George,

Thank you for your response here. However, when we add the function you’ve referenced, it doesn’t seem to change the Calendar List View excerpts at all (they are still the default length).

The only thing that it seems to change is the excerpts on our blog. But we don’t want this to affect the excerpts on our blog at all.

Is there a function we can use that will change only the length of the excerpts in the Calendar List View, without affecting blog excerpts?

Thank you!

UPDATE: It looks like this issue was simply due to not being able to see the ‘Active Filters’ list from within the dashboard (which was due to running an older version of the plugin, which was in turn due to having trouble updating our license keys). Once we were able to update our license keys and then update the plugins, the ‘Active Filters’ issue was resolved and we were then able to customize the filter title to include the £ sign as needed.

So this thread can be closed as everything is all set now.

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for the help. However, we are still having an issue with the license keys. Though we removed them from the dev site, they are not in fact saving properly on our new website. We have tried several times to save them, and while it ‘appears’ to go through properly upon saving, when we return to the license key page, the license keys have been somehow deleted and the fields are blank. As such, the error messages on the ‘Updates’ page are also still appearing.

So we do still need help in fixing this issue…
