By default, Event Tickets Plus<\/a> generates PDF tickets<\/a> without including the event description<\/em>. However, with a template override and a snippet of code, you can display the description under the event title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plugin’s default PDF layout loads certain template parts\u2014such as the event title, ticket info, and sidebar\u2014but does not<\/strong> include the event content (i.e., description) within the PDF body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step: How to Show the Description Below the Title<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Locate and copy post-title.php<\/code> template file in the plugin directory:
    \/wp-content\/plugins\/event-tickets-plus\/src\/views\/tickets-wallet-plus\/pdf\/pass\/body\/<\/code>
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. In your child theme directory, create the following path and place the copied file:
    [your-child-theme]\/tribe\/tickets-wallet-plus\/pdf\/pass\/body\/<\/code>
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Open the file in a text editor and add the following code just after the <\/tr><\/code> tag:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n<tr style="font-weight:normal;">\n  <td>\n    <?php echo esc_html( $post->post_content ); ?>\n  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
    Save the file and ensure you clear any caching mechanisms in place. The description should now appear in the generated PDF tickets, typically below the event title:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Event Tickets Plus uses four template files (styles.php<\/code>, header.php<\/code>, body.php<\/code>, and footer.php<\/code>) to generate PDF tickets. By creating overrides in your theme, you gain control over these templates and can inject custom content like the event description<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a guide for customizing the PDF ticket template files: Customizing PDF Ticket Styles<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Ensure your child theme path matches exactly:
    tribe\/tickets-wallet-plus\/pdf\/pass\/body\/post-title.php<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    If changes fail to reflect, remember to clear cache and verify your directory structure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
