Event Notes html formatting in RSS feed

    We are currently using Mailchimp’s RSS function to generate our weekly newsletter. We have an issue with the events as the formatting is missing from the RSS feed, so the EventsNotes short code in RSS settings is only providing text and not formatted content. Is there a way around this as we would like to be able to keep at least the paragraphs rather than just a massive block of plain text.

    thanks

  • Hello,

    I would suggest contacting Mailchimp’s RSS plugin for this one as they are the one that would generate the output of the RSS. Events Manager are WordPress Custom Post Types, If they support custom post types.

    Could We perhaps get the specific link of the plugin that you’re using for RSS? By EventNotes, Are you referring to our placeholder? If yes, YOu could wrap it in a paragraph like: <p>#_EVENTNOTES</p> If you’re referring to a different EventNotes, Please let us know

    Hi,

    thanks for the reply… We have tried to wrap it in the paragraph tag, but the content comes through as unformatted text. The ideal is that the system generates the EVENTNOTES content so that the markup (or simplified markup) structure is maintained. Is that possible?

    As we have heard nothing about the issue that we are having, I would like to clarify exactly what we see…

    In the RSS template file the line of code for description includes CDATA formatting.

    <description><![CDATA[<?php echo $description; ?>]]></description>

    This should preserve some of the formatting visible when we use the EVENTSNOTE placeholder/tag in our RSS setup within the Events Manager settings.

    This is not happening. EVENTSNOTE aka description is passing plain text with no formatting.

    How do we rectify this?

    at the moment you can override this by modifying the template file at events-manager/templates/templates/rss.php

    to use templates: https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

    eg. wp-content/themes/Your Theme/plugins/events-manager/templates/rss.php
