Hi CliffordP. Can you please explain how to use this code. To I just place it in the functions file?

Also why does it contain your name in the code "cliff_blank...."?

Hi CliffordP, Can you explain why your name is in the code?

Hi. I put my name in my snippets as a way to namespace them. If I were to name them generically like 'remove_link', it would be ripe for conflicts. Snippets are to be reviewed/customized.

Please reference https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/best-practices-for-implementing-custom-code-snippets/ for how/where to install them.

Just rename them yourself when you install them :)

This does not work for the organizer link (at least not as of right now). According to
/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/organizer.php

it is 'tribe_get_event_organizer_link_target'
instead of 'tribe_get_organizer_website_link_target'

For those wondering where to put this code:
Put it in the functions.php of your theme. To avoid it being overwritten by theme updates create a child theme, see: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/
There are also several wordpress plugins which allow you to add code simply via the wp dashboard.

Thanks for sharing.
Those tips are part of that Knowledgebase article :)

Thanks, still works!
