Short Code for Events Short Description

Hello

We have a webpage that we are making. We wish to display a certain events short description.

Do you know the short code to obtain an event short description? I’ve consulted this page but it shows only shortcodes for a venues short description and staff short description. https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/

Is it possible to specify the event by name and not id? For eg;

[event name=’my event name’ short-desc]

instead of…

[event id=’1234′ short-desc]

Hi Tony,

There isn’t a shortcode to display just the event description. the closest you will get would be the SIGNLEEVENT, but that will display times, prices and the registration form, etc. https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#single-events

“Is it possible to specify the event by name and not id?”

No. Event ID’s are unique but multiple events can have the same name, so it would potentially cause issues if we set it up via name.
