    I’m sure this has been asked, but not being able to effectively search this forum I’ll have to ask again . . .

    Trying to insert links into the event description. Can this be done? Both the hover description and the description on the linked event page are both showing the full text, i.e. <a href="#">my description</a>

    Secondly when I import my events using CSV importing, the trailing </a> is left off of the description completely.

    Howdy jimlongo,

    You can absolutely insert links into the description. Just like you can into post/pages. Our plugin implements the WP custom post type API, so there are no problems there. HTML/links can even be imported via CSV. I was even just able to confirm that it still works in the latest version of TEC do it as a test.

    Of you are experiencing issues with adding HTML, possible you are the victim of a conflict. Testing for them is a logical next step.

    Hopefully that helps you isolate the issue and look toward a fix. Cheers!

    Thanks Brook.

    My fault, I had a space between < a and that caused a whole bunch of issues.
    Removing the whitespace fixed all of it.
