I think I’m missing the point with “Read more”, or with templates, or….

    Right, now I’ve discovered the Joy of Excerpts and can get nicely formatted content on this page, part of me just wants to disable the ‘Read more’ malarkey because it’s now redundant – the subsequent details page just repeats the excerpt.

    So, is asking to disable the ‘Read more’ actually not the way to fix this??

    Or, is there a way to not have the detail on this page, just the date stuff, a title and a valid ‘Read more’ that leads to the full details on the single event page?

    Basically, got myself a bit confused. Any steers greatly appreciated as I reckon it’ll turn out to be easily achieved… once you know how, that is. ;o)

  • Hey there @sainkho,

    Thanks for your interest in our products!

    In my opinion, I think that your calendar could go without the Read More link. You have sufficient information detailing your events, plus each event title is actually a link that will take the user to the single event page.

    Removing these read more links is actually a pretty easy task with CSS. Drop this snippet in your child theme style.css or your custom CSS metabox if your theme has one:

    a.tribe-events-read-more {
display:none;
}

    Hope that helps!

    Hey there,

    Since this thread has been inactive for a while, I’m going to go ahead and mark it as resolved. Don’t hesitate to create a new thread any time you help again!

    Sorry, slower than a slow thing in a low gear, I saw the response and meant to come by and say…

    Yeah, I get the CSS removal but would far rather cut it out of the PHP in the first place than have it be delivered then hidden. Is that tricky?

    Also, it still leaves me with the title being a link, to a page, that… just covers exactly the same information, i.e. a pretty redundant link.

    So now, with mission creep(!) I wonder if I can cut the title link and the Read more at source?? Again, does that mean I should be really using a different template?

    Thanks in advance and I’ll try to be faster to respond if you care to respond to this. ;o)
