 * I know this is an experimental feature so just reporting it as a bug…in my testing‘
   compact=”false”‘ behaves the same as ‘compact=”true”‘ and one must remove it 
   to revert to “false.” Found it by trying to toggle it off and on.
 * Also, multi-day events are only one column in compact view, so are unaligned 
   with other events.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcompact-view-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thanks for this feedback. I think I know why “false” may not be working properly,
   having to do with the change that was just added to allow “desktop” and “mobile”
   as additional values. I’ll fix that in the next update.
 * I don’t quite understand the second part of your post. Are you also using the`
   combinemultiday` parameter? That and `compact` are both experimental features
   and they haven’t been tested extensively in combination.

 * Nope:
 * [ics_calendar url=”URLHERE.ics” eventdesc=”true” organizer=”false” nolink=”true”
   view=”list” count=”15″ nomonthheaders=”true” compact=”true”]
 * I can’t paste an image but I will try to show it…something like:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Friday August 18       6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
                               Event Name
                               Event Text
   
       Saturday August 19 9:00 am – Sunday August 20 3:00 pm
       Event Name
       Event Text
   
       Friday August 25       6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
                               Event Name
                               Event Text
       ```
   
 * It looks like the top and bottom use <dt> and <dd> tags but the middle only has
   <dd>.
 * Understand it’s experimental. I am good at finding bugs 🙂 so try to report them
   to other/fellow programmers.

 * Sorry it’s taken me a while to get back to you on this.
 * What you’re seeing is intentional — although it may be sub-optimal, especially
   in compact view. I’ll put this on the to-do list to improve in a future update.
