Unfiltered Event Description

Good evening. Racking my brain about this for a little bit now. Is there a template tag that will return only the description of an event. Attempts to include the template tag espresso_event_content_or_excerpt() all return the Event CPT Description + the event details, ticket selector, etc. All I need is just the content. 🙂 (Managed to grab everything else from the included templates and rearrange the page that way.)

Is the solution to remove_filter on the above template tag? If so, which filters need to be removed? Thanks!

Hi Steve,

Have you created custom templates specifically for EE events or have you wrapped sections within a espresso_events post type check?

The reason I’m asking is if you have created custom templates then EE should not inject all of the event details when calling the_content(). Can you provide some details on how you have this set up please?

Are you using the latest version of EE4? (Currently 4.8.25)

Also we have a drag and drop feature to allow you to re-arrange the event details into a custom order within Event Espresso -> Events -> Templates -> Use Custom Display Order?

The above is available for both single events and event lists.

Hello there. Apologies for the delayed response.

I’m currently using 4.8.25.p in a local environment, and will plan on upgrading to the latest release upon site launch.

My initial approach was to make a new page template (courses.php) and assign that page template to the event using the drop down in the sidebar. The page template, however, just included a normal loop and didn’t check for the CPT espresso_events at all. I think that’s my initial problem.

To double check, events in EE are custom post types of the variety “espresso_events.” Making a single-espresso_events.php and an archive-espresso_events.php using a normal WP loop should produce the desired results, correct?

It’s possible that making a single-espresso_events.php and an archive-espresso_events.php will work for you.

It might be a solution.

If so, which filters need to be removed?

You can remove the filters that are added to
FHEE__content_espresso_events_details_template__the_content

I’d suggest trying those first and if that does not work, perhaps you can post the code you are using in a pastebin or a gist and we can investigate.
