    Is there any way to change this?

    Also, which tag refers to what’s been written in the ‘Details’ box? #_DESCRIPTION isn’t returning anything.

    I have. #_NAME is not referring to the event name, it refers to the location name.

    And #_DETAILS and #_NOTES return nothing at all.

    You appear to be mixing up location formatting and event formatting. For location formatting, as in the doc:

    Locations format
    

    
Locations format works in the same way as events, but the parameters are different.
    

    
* #_NAME indicates the location name (weird, huh?)
    
* Other general parameters are #_ADDRESS, #_TOWN, #_DESCRIPTION, #_MAP and #_IMAGE. The #_IMAGE placeholder is used in the location balloon for the event.
    
* Three tags allow the display of events taking place in the given location. Use #_NEXTEVENTS to insert a list of the upcoming events, #_PASTEVENTS for a list of past events, #_ALLEVENTS for a comprehensive list of all events.
    
* #_LOCATIONID returns the location ID

    I’m sorry, but that’s really not the case, something’s wrong in your code.

    Have you tried a completely fresh, clean install of the plugin that’s for download (3.2.15)?

    The first three events don’t display a title on the map, and they display only the name of the road and the location when you click through, e.g.

    Newcastle Road

    Galway

    That’s with no modification at all from my end. Something’s up with the code.

    I have tried, but it appears you don’t realize that you need to change the formatting to your liking (using the placeholders) for event list, single event, location, balloon, etc …

    If you want, mail me an admin account and I’ll change some things as an example on your end:

    Okay, expect an email from me sometime fairly soon.

    Thank you for taking the time to go through this with me, it’s greatly appreciated.

    Hello! I am having this same issue (I swear it was showing up the location name sometime, but now it’s just the actual event name! )

    wondering if this issue got resolved, and if I may know how to do so!

    Thanks!!
