    Hi there,
    If I enable the description setting, and set the description length to be very long (>~40 words), there is a “[…] Read More…” appended to the end of it and the full description is not shown. This is not a link and upon inspection, seems to be part of the description text – however, it does not exist on the Eventbrite page.

    The link above is to the Eventbrite page as the WP site is still on a test platform.
    No matter how many words I set for the description, only the bold text (on the linked EB page) shows, followed by the strange read more link, and then nothing else.

    The settings to enable the read more and book now button work correctly and have no impact on this issue.

    Any help would be most appreciated!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Can you provide a link to your website page rather than the Eventbrite page so I can understand what you are saying please?

    My domain is not currently pointing to my website so I am using the IP address of my server. I have set up a host file on my computer to allow me access. What is the best way to share this?

    I have also since noticed that the description that is populated comes from the ‘Summary’ section of the Eventbrite event, which is a required field of Eventbrite.

    Probably best to share with me via email to support (at) fullworks.net

    Thanks, have just sent host details.
    If you navigate to the site, click on the ‘Events’ page and you will see the event listed.

    It looks like your theme is filtering the excerpt and adding the extra readmore.

    This plugin is written using templates, so you can build your own and use whatever data you can find.

    It also has some filters.

    A relevant filter to you is eawp_excerpt, which calls get_the_excerpt

    Which can be filtered( by get_the_excerpt filter ) so you can get the unfiltered except like this

    add_filter( ‘eawp_excerpt’, function($content) {
    global $post;
    return $post->post_excerpt;
    }, 10,1);

    Or if you don’t want an excerpt you could use the full content

    e.g.

    add_filter( ‘eawp_excerpt’, function($content) {
    return the_content();
    }, 10,1);

    Of course if this all a bit too techy, then the pro version has shortcodes that cover nearly every combination ( over 40 options )

    Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate how much time you put into this given that I’m still (for now hopefully) using the free version.

    I added the function above to my function.php file which did the trick! 😀

    I’ll add some documentation on that filter to the knowledge base
