 * Hi,
 * I am trying to change the text of the breadcrumbs from Events to Competitions.
 * I’ve found the .php file, but I can’t see the bit I need to change, so any guidance
   would be brilliant.

 * Many thanks,
    Dave

 * Oh actually, I’ve found out about the manual excerpts so ignore that, but please
   could you let me know how to make the URL in the manual excerpt underlined/change
   colour when hovered over?
 * Thank you

 * Hi there,
 * Ah ok great! I am glad that you were able to find something you can adapt. The
   Excerpt normally strips out HTML, but you should be able to take a look at this
   guide and change that: [https://theeventscalendar.com/blog/tips/the-trouble-with-excerpts/](https://theeventscalendar.com/blog/tips/the-trouble-with-excerpts/)
 * Let me know if that helps!

 * Hi,
    I have managed to change the colour (or color) of the link text in the excerpt,
   but I can’t figure out how to make it change colour/go underlined when the mouse
   hovers over it. Sorry if this is very basic, but any help here would be amazing,
   thanks!

 * Hi [@gumbodave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gumbodave/), that’s awesome
   that you figured the first part out. For the other one, I’m curious which link
   on the excerpt — could you provide me a screenshot and pinpoint which part? I
   could provide you custom CSS, but I should be able to identify which section/
   tag.
 * Looking forward to helping you out with this one.
 * Best,
    Abz

 * Hi Abz,
 * Thanks, it’s the link that appears on the main listings bit – as in the screenshot
   here: [https://paste.pics/43acc0d7f80354bb6146bd8ebeee10c6](https://paste.pics/43acc0d7f80354bb6146bd8ebeee10c6)(
   hope that works)

 * Hi [@gumbodave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gumbodave/), thanks for providing
   me with a screenshot here.
 * **Go to Appearances → Customize → Additional CSS** and insert this Custom CSS
   here:
 *     ```
       .tribe-events-calendar-list__event-description a {
         color: #000 !important;
       }
       .tribe-events-calendar-list__event-description a:hover {
         text-decoration: underline !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * _Please change the color to your liking._
 * Moreover, you could also try installing this third-party plugin that allows you
   to insert code snippets on your website → [https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/).
 * Let me know if this is what you’re trying to accomplish here.
 * Best,
