I am using Elementor. I added an HTML block and added the code for an embedded form. The form shows fine on the page, but in list view this is what I get.
From what I understand, the List View is currently displaying the excerpt of your event description rather than the full content. When an event doesn’t have a manually defined excerpt, The Events Calendar automatically generates one by stripping out any HTML and displaying only a limited number of characters from the event description.
This behavior is intentional, as it’s designed to keep the List View concise and easy to browse.
If the full event description were displayed instead, it would also include any embedded HTML—such as your form—which could make the List View extremely long and difficult to navigate, especially if multiple events contain lengthy descriptions or forms.
I hope that explanation makes sense.
That said, if your goal is still to display the full content or include the form in List View, let me know. I can look into whether this can be achieved through a template override or another customization approach.
From what I can see, the code you’re seeing is actually part of your event description.
In List View, the plugin strips out <script> tags and other HTML elements before generating the excerpt. As a result, any code that isn’t properly rendered can end up appearing as plain text like the code that you see.
To avoid this, I recommend adding a manual excerpt to your event. The List View will use the excerpt instead of automatically generating one from the event description, allowing you to control exactly what text appears without exposing any code.
Please give that a try and let me know if it resolves the issue for you.
I’ll close this thread for now, but please do not hesitate to start a new thread if you have other issues at all. This allows us to track topics/issues efficiently and follow the WordPress Forum Guidelines.
