A questions about themes

[TRIBEDUDE]

1) Was the Calendar Pro plugin designed to best work out of the box with a specific WP theme? Or can any WP theme be plugged into?
2) Do you guys have recommended themes or theme designers for this plugin?

Hello,

Events Calendar Pro is not designed to work with a specific theme – it’s meant to work out of the box with any WordPress-compliant, HTML-valid theme. It looks great out-of-the-box in more themes than you might expect, and if you need to customize things specific to the theme you end up using on your site, it’s completely customizable.

You can learn about customizing the look of Events Calendar Pro by checking out the Themer’s guide here → https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

As for for recommended themes or theme designers, as far as I know we don’t officially partner with anyone specific. But there are many great resources out there. In my personal experience – not on any official behalf of Tribe itself! – I would recommend staying away from massive theme marketplaces like Themeforest in general. However, for themeforest particularly, if you search carefully for the good stuff and pay attention to people’s reviews, you can find some gems. And this is a whole list of themes on Themeforest compatible with Events Calendar Pro:

Sticking to more specialized theme shops is a great idea, too. Here are two examples I’ve personally used and can vouch for:

• Array Themes

• Woo Themes

And, of course, if you’re not looking to spend money on a theme in the first place, the default themes bundled with WordPress are quite extensible with some custom CSS. There’s also the entire WordPress themes directory – just like themeforest, if you search carefully and pay attention to reviews, you can find some awesome themes…and all of them for free! https://wordpress.org/themes/

Let us know if this information helps. 🙂

Cheers,
George
