I was asking if there’s an alternative way to edit the ‘My Bookings’ page, but it sounds like the answer is no. Thank you.

For anyone with a similar question who finds this in the future, the file you need to edit is /events-manager/templates/templates/my-bookings.php

Figured it out. On the off chance this helps someone else:

The person who built the site edited the plugin directly (display-posts-shortcode.php) and changed

$excerpt = ' <span class="excerpt-dash">-</span> <span class="excerpt">' . get_the_excerpt() . '</span>';

to

$excerpt = ' <span class="excerpt-dash">-</span> <span class="excerpt_content">' . get_the_excerpt() . '</span>';

Because it wasn’t done in the theme’s functions.php file, the May 7 plugin update broke it, and of course the reversion to 2.3 didn’t help because it didn’t restore that edit.

Some more info:

I just discovered that switching the theme to 2013 solves the problem.

Here’s the thing though. The theme hasn’t been updated in about a year. The person who built the site customized it quite a bit but didn’t use a child theme, and I haven’t been able to sort that out yet. I’m just been recruited to help out. So it wasn’t a theme update that caused it. It also wasn’t the upgrade to WP 3.9.1.

The problem didn’t exist on May 3rd or 4th, the last time I worked on the site, but it was present on May 11th (I have a backup from that date installed locally). In between those days, on May 7th, the Display Posts Shortcode plugin was updated. I thought I was onto something when I noticed that, so I tried installing the previous version of the plugin (I tried 2.2 and 2.3) but the problem remains.

Back to being stumped. Thanks a lot to anyone who has any ideas or suggestions.
