I’d like to specify the description that is automatically added to the .ics file for each event. Currently it adds the entire text of each event post. Either of these solutions would work for me:<\/p>\n

1. The .ics description displays the post excerpt
\n2. The .ics description displays a custom field<\/p>\n

I can see this line on line 478 of events-calendar-pro.php:<\/p>\n

$item[] = ‘DESCRIPTION:’ . str_replace( ‘,’,’\\,’, $description );<\/p>\n

Is that the line I should change? My php skills are advanced enough to know what to change it to. Could someone help me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-41168","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nCreating custom description for .ics file -<\/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\/creating-custom-description-for-ics-file\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Creating custom description for .ics file -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I’d like to specify the description that is automatically added to the .ics file for each event.
