I have been using a custom shortcode to insert post content into the description field of some of my events. (The fewer places to update information, the better!) Anyway, the tooltips on the calendar weren’t equipped to deal with shortcodes.<\/p>\n

It was an easy fix, setting up a custom table.php file in my theme and changing one line from:<\/p>\n

TribeEvents::truncate(get_the_content())<\/p>\n

to<\/p>\n

TribeEvents::truncate(do_shortcode(get_the_content())<\/p>\n

I thought I’d document the fix here and request that it be added to a future update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-15605","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nUsing shortcodes within event descriptions -<\/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\/using-shortcodes-within-event-descriptions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Using shortcodes within event descriptions -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I have been using a custom shortcode to insert post content into the description field of some of my events.
