Hi, is there a way of making the category pages only display the event description like the events page does?
This is the events page that looks exactly like how I need:
https://www.pmtcourses.com/events/
This category page has extras:

Thanks,
Gorkem

Hi Gorkem,
With most WordPress themes those two pages should look the same, so it appears something is adding more information to the category archives there. You could try going to Event Espresso > Events > Templates and check the settings under “Event List Pages”. Is the “Display Description” option set to “excerpt (short desc)” there?

Hi Josh,
Yes, the ‘display description’ option is set to ‘excerpt (short desc)’.
Are the templates of those pages set by the wordpress theme event espresso? Is the event category page a regular category archive page in wordpress. What about the main events list page?
Thanks,
Gorkem

Are the templates of those pages set by the wordpress theme event espresso?
Technically, both.
It uses the default templates from your theme and then EE hooks into the_content() to add additional details. You can override all of that using your own templates, but that the default behaviour.
Is the event category page a regular category archive page in wordpress.
Yes, it’s a regular archive.
The category archive is essentially just a standard archive, but as it’s a category archive you get a little more control over the templates using the standard WordPress Template Hierarchy.
So you could create a template specifically for EE event categories and display only the archive through that, or because EE hooks into the_content you can hook in an remove it through PHP, something like this:

You can add that to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:
