    Wondering if it’s possible to remove the […] that comes when a description is truncated. Client thinks this is confusing.

    Better yet, would like to have “read more” there and a link to the full description.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @karenbrand ,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    You can try adding the following code snippet to functions.php file:

    function my_excerpt_more($post) {
    	return '<a href="<?php echo esc_url( tribe_get_event_link() ); ?>" rel="bookmark">...Read More</a>';
    }

    Best regards,
    Marta

    Thank you! I tried adding to a Snippets plugin, but it didn’t work. Then I added it to the bottom of the functions.php file, and it caused a critical error.

    I don’t know php very well, so maybe I did something wrong?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for getting back to us.

    You may have done something wrong while adding the snippet. This article provides some helpful tips for safely adding code to your functions.php file: https://themaverickspirit.com/add-code-snippets-functions-php-wordpress/

    Also, it’s possible that the […] may be from your website’s theme. Please try switching to any of the default WordPress themes and check if you still see the ellipsis there. If it’s gone, then it’s likely that your theme handles post excerpts by using […] to represent more content. You could reach out to them for some guidance on how to change this.

    Best regards,

    Marho
