Hi,
I’m using MEC events plugin but I want to show a custom secondary-excerpt for our TV Signage. Right now it’s only showing the date and title under each event but I want the ability to add a my own wording under the title (http://e03.4c1.myftpupload.com/tv-signage-main/)
Anyways, I’ve created the custom field and I’ve tried to put it under the specific event template php but no matter what I do I can’t make it display. My php knowledge is very basic so I tried to mimic code that is displaying the featured image.
Towards the bottom I added the new class called tv-excerpt and my goal is to recall the custom field name signage_excerpt that I created in wordpress.
I appreciate any feedback and help!
Josh
