Hello,

Is there a way to hide the description of the event? It’s the same as the details and I really don’t need it there twice. Here is a screenshot for reference: https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/screenshot.png

thanks!

Hello Jaclyn,

You can turn the description off under, Event Espresso > Events > Templates tab. Just change the “Show Ticket Details?” option to “No”.

Jonathan,

When I do this, the description disappears from both places (Details and Description). Is there a way to have just details or just description but not both since they say the same thing?

Thanks

Hi Jaclyn,

The first description isn’t wrapped in its own css class so it can’t easily be hidden. The description in the table could be hidden but we would need to remove that column. Would that work for you?

I was able to grab the code and edit it out. Thank you

Hi I thought I was able to get this working but it seems when I add the content to the page, I cannot register for an event and instead get the following:

We’re sorry, but your ticket selections could not be processed due to a server timing error. Please hit the back button on your browser and try again.

Is there an easy way to take the redundant description out? Also I was trying to use Bootstrap’s tabs and panes for some of this content. Could there be a conflict?

thanks

Hi Jaclyn,

Can you link us to an event we can test this on please?

Tony,

Here is a link to the event in question: https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/masters-club-golf-tournament/

I am pulling the events using the shortcode on a WP page.

thanks,
Jaclyn

Hi Jaclyn,

I did not see that issue but the message is related to the bot trap feature which can be turned off. Could you click on this link?

https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/registration-cancelled/

Then go to Event Espresso –> Registration Form –> Reg Form Settings. Then set the Encrypt Bot Trap Data option to off.

Does that help with the issue?

If not, then try setting the bot trap to off and then saving changes.

It appears there are two things going on. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be seeing the message of unsaved registration details being deleted? I turned off the bot trap and cleared my browser cache and it’s still there.

Second,
I wanted to delete the description for the events but leave the details. When I turn off the option for description for the events, it takes out both description and details. Is there a way to show just the details?

thanks,

Hi, could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Here is how to share one with us:

Here is a screenshot showing the duplicate content: https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/screenshot.png

and here is what I see at the link you sent me (https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/registration-cancelled/)
https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot2.png

This shows where I have turned off the bot trap: https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot3.png

thank you

Hi, I’m not sure what you currently need help with. Are registrations failing or is your question about removing the duplicate messaging?

If its regarding the duplicate content, then please see my earlier reply:

Lorenzo,

I apologize for the miscommunication; I unintentionally turned it into a 2 part question.

1) You mentioned before to hide the description but said the column would need to be removed as well. Do I need to just hide the description with CSS. Where would I remove the column?

2) Is the message I am seeing on the ‘registration cancelled’ page supposed to be there (https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/registration-cancelled/) or is there something wrong?

thanks

Hi Jaclyn, thank you for clarifying. Please try this CSS to hide the first description.

section.tckt-slctr-tkt-details-sctn p {display:none;}

The messaging on the registration cancelled page is expected. I misunderstood your earlier reply and thought that you were having trouble reaching registration checkout.

Thanks I was able to hide what I needed.

Is there a way to change the name of the ‘Access’ label in the event? Also there’s some odd spacing (Goes On Sale:September 23, 2015 5:35 pm
Sales End:October 9, 2015 12:00 am) that I would like to fix. How do I do this?

thanks

Hi, the word access can be changed by using a gettext filter:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#custom-function

On your second question, the layout should be similar but have some additional spacing like this:

http://cl.ly/image/1U2n0j23103O

Is that what you are trying to change?

Thanks I will check that out.

The spacing on the page here: https://www.sacrealtor.org/events/masters-club-golf-tournament/ under the Register tab, then if you expand details, the sale dates have some odd spacing. There is no space between the calendar icon and the words ‘Goes on sale’ and ‘Sale Ends’ and there appears to be extra space between the date and time.

thanks

Hi Jaclyn,

One of those gaps is from hiding some of the content with CSS. You can try adding this CSS to remove the gap:

.tckt-slctr-tkt-sale-dates-sctn br {
display:none;
}

Then for the calendar:

.dashicons-calendar {margin-left: 0.5em;}

and for the clock:

.dashicons-clock {margin-left: -0.3em;}

Thanks Josh, that worked perfectly 🙂
