Hello @rothster
Thanks for reaching out.
I suspect this is because the calendar views display excerpts of event details rather than the full content and for WordPress, excerpts do not execute shortcodes. Although dash isn’t a shortcode and thus shouldn’t be affected, I still think this is the case.
Just to test this theory and see if I’m correct, you can add this code into your functions.php and see if it takes care of the issue:
//Enable Shortcodes in WordPress Excerpts.
add_filter( ‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘my_shortcode_parser’ );
function my_shortcode_parser( $excerpt ) {
return do_shortcode($excerpt);
}
Unfortunately that did not work
It’s still display – instead of the dash
Hi again @rothster
Thanks for getting back to me. Looks like the source of this issue is deeper that I thought
Can you please run through the steps in this conflict testing guide to see if a plugin/theme conflict is the source of this: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/testing-for-conflicts/
Let me know what you find.
Best regards,
Marho
