    Hi,

    Is there a way to show only show part of an event’s description, when viewing a list of events in agenda view? For example, the first paragraph?

    The rest of the description’s content should only be viewable when a user clicks on the ‘Read More’ button. I tried using the WordPress <!–more–> feature when editing the description in text mode, but this made no difference.

    I should add that I’d like to keep the list of events expanded in agenda view.

    Thank you!

  • Hi Rebecca,

    all-in-one-event-calendar/public/themes-ai1ec/vortex/twig -> agenda.twig, line 67, replace:
    {{ event.filtered_content | raw }}
    with:
    {{ event.post_excerpt | truncate( 80 ) | raw }}

    “80” is the number of characters.

    Thanks,
    Ben
