Hello @rolynoworse,

Thanks for reaching out!

You could try adding a snippet like this to your functions.php to increase excerpt size:

// Changes the escerpt length for events to 100 words
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
  if( tribe_is_event() && is_archive() ) { 
    return 100;
  }
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

Hope that helps!

Hi erishel,

That seems to work, however it displays just a single line before the Continue Reading marker. Also when you click on the Continue Reading marker to view the full details and then click on the All Events link to return to Month view the hover box for each event shows the full text without the Continue Reading marker (hope you can follow this!)

Many thanks for your help.

Roland

Hey Roland,

You can try adjusting that code snippet to see if it will return what you need. Unfortunately we don’t support plugin customizations. Here’s a knowledge base article that talks a bit about why excerpts can be a real pain sometimes → https://theeventscalendar.com/the-trouble-with-excerpts/.

Take care,
