    Hi,

    I also notice this after the update to 4.0. I was wondering why my events suddenly showed all of the description.

    Will there be an update to fix this? I find this to be an issue as it shows too much on the list view and pushes the rest of the events farther below.

    Thanks!

    Same problem here, I see the full text and not the excerpt

    Hoping in a quick fix

    Thanks

    Howdy Guys,

    Thanks for reaching out to us and bringing this issue to our attention!

    We’ve got this bug logged in our internal tracking system and will notify you here as we make progress on this issue. I apologize for any inconvenience that this issue has caused.

    In the meantime, you can fix this issue by making some quick modifications to the core plugin. These changes will get overridden with the next update which will include an official fix to this issue.

    Within the main Events Calendar plugin, navigate to the src > functions > template-tags > general.php file and open it within your preferred text editor.

    Navigate to line #1320 within that file. It should look like:

    $excerpt = wp_trim_excerpt( $excerpt );

    You can change that line to be:

    $excerpt = wp_trim_words( $excerpt, ’55’ );

    Where “55” is the number of words that you would like the excerpt to be there.

    Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns here.

    Cheers!
    – Brook
