Event Descriptions not showing up on Event List Page

Hi There,

I’m running Event Espresso v4.9.2.p on WordPress 4.5.3.

On the Event List page, the text of the event is not showing up for the events. I’ve double and triple-checked the Template settings, and have the ‘Display Description’ setting set to ‘full description’, but I still am unable to see the event’s content. All the other settings seem to work correctly, as I can turn on and off the ticket selector, datetimes, and venue details.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Layne

Hi Layne,

Generally when this happens its because the theme is doing something unexpected with the_content, not always, but it’s a good place to start.

Does the description show if you preview a default theme such as TwentyFourteen from within the admin? (Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes -> TwentyFourteen -> Live Preview)

Do you have anything set within the excerpt for the event? If not if you add something there does it show on the event list?

Hi Tony,

I think you’re right. The full description shows up with the default theme I tried. I was able to see the excerpt with my current theme ok, but when I try the full description, no juice.

I’m using Hydrogen theme on Gantry 5.

Hi Layne,

I think you’ll find more breakage with the Hydrogen theme when you view the single event page as well. That’s a tricky one because it appears that the twig template framework strips away all of the event content except for the date times.

Hi Josh,

Yes, I’m seeing that. I saw your other thread about issues with Timber as well.

Do you think a work around is possible? Or at this point am I just screwed?

I think a fix is possible, but it will involve making some changes from the theme’s end, and will require a skill set that involves working with that particular framework. I’ve looked through its code and I couldn’t figure it out.
