I have my sessions in categories. When I click on a category I see a listing of the sessions offered. Is there a way to shorten the description allowing the person to then click on the session they want bringing them into the individual page for that session?

You can change the page listing layout to Booking Services With NO Book Now Buttons.

Thank you. My next question.

When using no Book Now buttons on the listing, can I make the initial description of the session smaller, and when someone clicks on the session type a larger description is revealed?

You will need to go to Design -> Page Display & Content Listing Layouts

Click "Booking Services With NO Book Now Buttons" under the listing layouts.

In the code, replace:

<?php listingPreviewText($page); ?>

With
<?php listingPreviewText($page); ?>

Then you can adjust the Preview Text Length on that page to cut off after so many characters.

Or instead of it cutting off so many characters, you can edit your booking services, scroll down and click the "more options" link, then Preview Snippet, and enter in the text you want to be displayed.

Unfortunately, text entered into the snippet section does not want to show up.

The lines of code you gave above are identical.

It should be

Replace:

<?php listingFullText($page); ?>

With
<?php listingPreviewText($page); ?>
