Hi William,

Usually the calendar will appear on what ever page you have the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode on it. I’m imagining that you have both [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] and [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] on the same page. Is that about right?

If so, what you can do is create a new page and place both [EVENT_LIST] and [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] on it, then remove the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode from the page that has [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] on it.

If not, can you post a link to the page in question so we can take a look at what’s going on?

Hi Bill,

No need to send credentials, but you’ll need to follow these directions: You’ll need to leave the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode on the registration page and remove the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode from that page.

Then you can place the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode on another page.

Hi Bill,

On the event list http://3rteachertraining.com/events there is no description.

On the single event http://3rteachertraining.com/events/?ee=2 there is a description.

To remove the description you could edit the event and either delete the description or use the “Display description?” on the right (set it to No).

Hi Bill,

I clarified the description locations, as you have said that

“Is there a setting to remove the calendar and event description from the registration and payment pages?”
“But I still get an entire description of the event, but at least the calendar is gone. Is there a way to just have the simple registration form?”

So I wanted to make sure we were clear on description locations.

I assumed you did not want the descriptions to show.

“I just don;t want the registration page to be crowded with a lengthy, but thorough and adequate description. Is this possible?”

So to be clear, on this page for example http://3rteachertraining.com/events/?ee=2 you do NOT want a description?

Or do you want a description to show on the event list page (http://3rteachertraining.com/events) but NOT the single registration page?

If it is the latter, then in Template settings set “Display short descriptions in the event listings?” to Yes and in the event itself set “Display description?” on the right to No.

I hope I’m understanding your needs correctly, but if not, please advise.

Thanks Bill,

OK, I think the best way to do this is to use Posts, but it does require a minor code edit.

In the event-espresso/templates/event_post.php at line 278 (right near the bottom) there is this line

if ($display_desc == 'Y'){ ?>

change it to

if ($display_desc == 'Y' || $display_desc == 'N'){ ?>

Then in the Event you would switch off descriptions and at the bottom set “Add/Update post for this event?” to Yes.

On updating/saving the event this will create a description-less event but add a Post which contains the description.

If you want the Post to have a registration form add this to the Event description (change the ID number of course):

[ESPRESSO_REG_FORM event_id=1]
