1–On the registration page, is there a way not to show available spaces? I still want there to be a limit of 24 registration spots, but I don’t want that information to be public.
2–I asked about the “read more…” link before, but my question was not answered. I don’t want it to just break the text and continue when you click the event. I want it to break the text AND say “read more…” so the viewer knows that there is going to be more when the event is clicked. Right now, it just looks like my event descriptions are short and there is no suggestion that the description will be continued upon clicking… How do I fix this?

Hi Suzanne,
One way to hide the available space text is to hide it with CSS. This is something that can be added to your custom stylesheet:
.available-spaces {
display:none;
}
If you do not have a custom stylesheet, I can recommend installing the Reaktiv CSS Builder plugin to add one.
With #2, Event Espresso doesn’t append a read more link to the short event description. This is something that can be added by editing the event_list_display.php template that can be found in its /templates folder.
In that template there’s a line of code around line 71 that says:
<?php echo espresso_format_content($event_desc); ?>
That’s the code that displays the short description. The following can be added immediately after it to display a read more link:
<a class="read-more" href="<?php echo $registration_url; ?>">Read More</a>
The event_list_display.php file can be copied over to your active WordPress theme’s folder to prevent it from being overwritten on an update of Event Espresso.

Josh–
Thank you so much for your help. After I download, install, and activate the plug-in, what is next?
Also, for #2, I do not know where to find the folder you are talking about.

Hi Suzanne,
You would copy the CSS styling that Josh shared earlier into CSS Builder section. Here is a screenshot of what that looks like:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/reaktiv-css-builder/screenshots/
The event_list_display.php template can be found here:
wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates
We recommend moving a copy of the file to this location:
wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder
This will ensure that you customization is not lost on a future update of Event Espresso.

Lorenzo–
Updated the read more link, thanks! Also copied the CSS styling from Josh into the CSS Builder section.
But I am not seeing any changes–I can still see ‘Available Spaces’.

Hello again,
Could you share a link to your event page so I can have a look?

Thanks Suzanne!
Could you please update the CSS to this (spaces-available –> available-spaces):
.available-spaces {
display:none;
}
It will then disappear: http://cl.ly/image/2V3C3R3r3W3T
