Hello,<\/p>\n

When I added an event from the Events Calendar to my Google Calendar, HTML code was showing up in the event description (in Google Calendar). I researched your support forum and added the following code to my theme’s functions.php file. <\/p>\n

add_filter( ‘tribe_google_calendar_parameters’, ‘remove_tags_from_gcal_links’ );<\/p>\n

function remove_tags_from_gcal_links( array $params ) {
\n $params[‘details’] = urlencode( strip_tags( urldecode( $params[‘details’] ) ) );
\n return $params;
\n}<\/p>\n

That took care of stripping out most of the HTML code, however, I am still seeing character entities for things like quote marks, apostrophes and ampersands. Is there some additional and\/or revised code that I can place in the functions.php file to strip out these character entities? Please help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-944513","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nHTML Code Showing in Description When Event Exported to Google Calendar -<\/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\/html-code-showing-in-description-when-event-exported-to-google-calendar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HTML Code Showing in Description When Event Exported to Google Calendar -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello, When I added an event from the Events Calendar to my Google Calendar, HTML code was showing up in the event description (in Google Calendar).
