Thanks, I missed that. I applied the blacklist selector to the title element, just as a test to see if I could get it to pull the H1 as the title. Didn’t work - didn’t event create the topic (not surprised… I wouldn’t normally add a class to a title).
My workaround for the title is this:
discourseEmbedUrl = 'http://[my site].com/?eid=[event ID]&ref=cpdiscourse&title=[url encoded event title]';
Then if ref and title are present in the querystring, I change the meta title just for Discourse… adding a noindex so this variation doesn’t get picked up by search engines.
The blacklist selector worked perfectly for allowing me to prevent certain things from showing up in the description.
