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.
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?
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 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.
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.
