Known Issue: Events Design Element Text Fields are Wrapped (Cut Mid-Word) When Having Long Title or Description

Issue


If the width of your Events Design Element is not enough to handle the title or description of the event, you may notice that the text container will break a word in the middle as shown here:

Workaround


Step 1. Open the settings of the Events Design Element


Edit the page.


Click the cog wheel icon to open the settings of the Events Design Element:


The Settings tab will open.


Step 2. Copy the custom CSS code


Here is the custom CSS code you will need to use as workaround for event titles being cut in mid-word in your Events Design Element:


.shortpoint-event-title, .shortpoint-event-tag-line, .shortpoint-event-description {
  overflow-wrap: normal;
  word-break: keep-all;
}

Note: You may update the CSS code if you only need it for the title/tagline/description by simply removing the selectors. See sample below: 

.shortpoint-event-title {
overflow-wrap: normal;
word-break: keep-all;
}


Please copy the code to the clipboard.


Step 3. Update the Events Design Element with the code


Switch to the Custom CSS tab:



Paste the copied code from Step 2 to the Custom CSS field:
