Greetings<\/p>\n

I’m aware of the issue where content is taken instead of the excerpt when showing the event description (such as on the Month view’s overlay). The fix https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/4-0-hoverpreview-in-month-view-shows-full-event-description-not-excerpt\/#post-1034775 was good for that.<\/p>\n

But, in my case, I really appreciated the HTML that was coming through with that new way of getting the event’s “excerpt”, since it enabled me to display a “Cancelled event” of “Event full” stamp above the description when needed…<\/p>\n

I’m looking for a way to still be able to have that custom HTML at the very beginning of my event’s post content, yet not having to display the full length of the description.<\/p>\n

I tried using str_word_count and play around with the general.php (src\/functions\/template-tags\/general.php) but I couldn’t quite figure out the best way to keep HTML div insert (at the begining of my post) and a few words\/exceprt from the description.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, I fear that if I modify that specific file, future updates will patch my own code (I don’t think this files can be “themed”)…<\/p>\n

Any suggestions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1038901","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nLong content on event description, but still allow HTML -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/long-content-on-event-description-but-still-allow-html\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Long content on event description, but still allow HTML -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Greetings I’m aware of the issue where content is taken instead of the excerpt when showing the event description (such as on the Month view’s overlay).
