 * Hi, I’m having a problem with eventdesc not working as i think it’s meant to.
   Any help gratefully received.
    This is the shortcode i’m trying to use:
 *     ```
       [ics_calendar view="list"  tz="london" title="false"  organizer="true" 
       nomonthheaders="true"  eventdesc="true" 
       toggle="lightbox" 
       hidealldayindicator="true" 
       count="6" url="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/chestermountaineering%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics"]
       ```
   
 * on this page:
    [https://chestermc.org/meets/](https://chestermc.org/meets/)
 * nb. having read another thread on this, I haven’t developed any custom code for
   this.
    Many Thanks

 * Hi… I’m seeing what appear to be the event descriptions in the lightbox when 
   I click on individual events. That’s how the plugin is designed to work when `
   toggle="lightbox"` is set. If you want to have the event descriptions display
   directly in the list, try removing `toggle="lightbox"` (no `toggle` at all).

 * OK. thanks for the prompt response. I’ve toggled off the lightbox now and all
   is well.
