If it is helpful this is my code in the shortcode.php file:

<?php if ( is_archive() ) : ?>
	<div class="kgm-all-courses-flex-box">
		<div class="kgm-single-course-box">
			<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-header' ); ?>
			
			<div class="kgm-course-details">
				<?php espresso_event_content_or_excerpt(); ?>
				<?php //espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-datetimes' ); ?>
				<?php //espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-venues' ); ?>
				<?php $keyvalue2 = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'Ages', true );
				// Check if the custom field has a value.
				if ( ! empty( $keyvalue2 ) ) {
    				echo 'Ages: ' , $keyvalue2;
				} ?>
			</div>

			<div id="espresso-event-thumbnail" class="kgm-course-thumbnail">
				<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-thumbnail' ); ?>
			</div>

			<div class="kgm-course-desc">
				<?php //espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-details' ); ?>
				<br>
				<?php $keyvalue = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'Barcode', true );
				// Check if the custom field has a value.
				if ( ! empty( $keyvalue ) ) {
					echo 'Barcode: ' , $keyvalue;
				} ?>
			</div>

		</div>
	</div>

<?php endif; ?>

Then I followed the tutorial on the previously linked site but replaced ‘.cards’ with ‘.kgm-all-courses-flex-box’

Okay, I understand.

If my code is correct then I’m not sure why it is not working either.

The tutorial setups all the divs under one parent div. My question is how are the events put in? since of course, I don’t code in every div for each event box. To clear things up I want the courses laid out in a two-column grid instead of one when I call the shortcode, so I am not certain if this is the right file to be working in anymore.

Thank you that worked perfectly!

I am having a bit of trouble understanding the location of event espresso content. For example, I want to extract just the course description and just the “view details” button, where would I find this? Then I want to change view details text to say “register now”

One thing I am wondering is what exactly does espresso_event_content_or_excerpt(); do?

Right now this is what my event shortcode outputs: https://imgur.com/3n0QIRr

I want to make the following edits:
– Remove the second instance of date times and address shown
– Move the view details button in between the description and Barcode custom field. You said the button is part of the ticket selector but I do not have the ticket selector on so I am not sure why it is appearing for me.
– Remove the ical button only for registration dates (if not possible then just remove it in general)

Below is the code in my content-event_espresso-shortcode.php :

have you followed the steps between the /*************************** IMPORTANT ************************* comment?

Yes I have, I accidentally pasted the older code prior to completing the steps.

?? Sorry but I don’t understand what you are trying to do.

What do you mean by ‘only for registration dates’?

If you take a look at what I have here: https://imgur.com/3n0QIRr I’d like the white ical button to only appear under the datetime labelled ‘Event Dates’ and remove it for any datetime labelled ‘Registration dates’ I’m not sure if this is supported in EE so if not I would just like to remove the ical button completely.

Lastly, I am looking through the template_tags.php file but cannot seem to find how to put in just the description of an event?

Apologies about the large section of code I will make sure to use pastebin if I ever need to post that much code again.

So you have now changed the filter to return true?

Yes, works now.

you can add this function to your site to remove them:

Thanks!

Without any filters? $event->description() will output the description.

What do you mean by filters? When I tried this I got a critical error, I assume I am using it incorrectly since I am new to PHP, I wrote <?php $event->description(); ?> is this incorrect?

Why can you not use espresso_event_content_or_excerpt()?

I want to set up my events in a specific layout and order that I couldn’t achieve with that. I have everything the way I want it but just want to display the description of an event within the ‘kgm-courses’desc’ div. https://pastebin.com/fH6h9vvU

I assumed you’d have pulled the EE_Event object

No, I did not do this, I don’t know what you mean by pull the event object. If I do this will I be able to use <?php $event->description(); ?> to just display the event description?
