A real shame!

[Sascha]

Hi there,

I have a simple problem: change 2 colors in Event Pro, monthly view.
I bought two products, adding up to over 160 Dollars of revenue for the amazing Event Tribe.
I asked one simple question and got one stupid answer: we cannot help you. do it yourself.

I profoundly believe that you guys are just having a great time on the beach sipping cocktails on my money!

I think this is unacceptable!

Not only that you module is overcomplex, you do nothing to help your customer!

I tried to find the CSS file but could not find it….
I have tried to edit my theme. The function is not available.
I have tried to edit through theme editor. Not available.

You guys make fun of your customers!

Hey Sascha,

Thanks for reaching out.

When it comes to customizing colors in the Month View, there are two options:

1. First, you can use WordPress’ built-in Customizer. Our plugins integrate with it for a number of color options. You can learn about all of these in detail here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-color-customizer/

2. Next, you can write custom CSS for anything that is not covered by the Customizer. It is true that, as per our support policy, we do not offer support for custom coding. But I still wrote you custom code despite this over in your other thread here, so please check out my reply in that original thread with the custom code I wrote for you.

If you aren’t sure about how to write CSS on your site, then that is the problem here.

Adding CSS is a general web development skill, and not something directly related to our plugins. We have an article on our site that covers how to add code to your site → https://theeventscalendar.com/adding-code-site-youre-not-coder/

Try adding the CSS I wrote for you at the bottom of your theme’s style.css file. I would also highly recommend searching wordpress.org/plugins for plugins that let you add custom CSS—there are many free plugins that enable this, and while we don’t recommend/endorse any specific one, this plugin here looks quite promising for example → https://wordpress.org/plugins-wp/simple-custom-css/

Best of luck with your customizations,
George

Could you just tell me which CSS file I should use, as there are so many…..want a screenshot? over a dozen for your plugin only….plus things called pcss….

Or you could give me the code right away and I will take care to insert it.

[Sascha]

My fault, mea culpa.

Why is it so difficult to get to this information? I have not written the plugin, therefore how you believe I will sort out in a timely manner which trigger is the right one?

I use an element Inspector but this information is just not transparent. And you are not the only one where such kind of information is sometimes hard to get !

How about the background?

Thanks.

[Sascha]

But I agree, I am not a developer and do not understand much about code.

but I try…

Issue resolved!

Hi Sascha,

I’m glad to hear you’ve made progress on this issue.

As to why this information is not always super easy to decipher, there are two main reasons:

1. It’s a technical skill. Simply put, modifying code on a site is a technical skill, and takes time and energy to learn. All we do here is sell and make plugins — we do not currently offer any support for modifying code, education on how to write code, etc. To acquire the skill of modifying code, check out sites like http://css-tricks.com, http://teamtreehouse.com, or other WordPress-specific sites out there.

2. Every site is different. There is not a single CSS guide we could make that addresses the concerns of all users, for example — each site and customization request may have unique, specific details that cannot be abstracted to a generally-shared Knowledgebase article.

I do apologize for frustrations arising from these realities, but hope the bit of code I shared above helps.

You mentioned “background” — this is an example of the “technical skill” aspect of all this I mentioned above. There is a CSS property called “background:”, for example, so you could play with that.

So instead of just this:


table.tribe-events-calendar thead tr th {
color: #fff !important;
}

You could try this to add a burnt-orange-style background color:


table.tribe-events-calendar thead tr th {
color: #fff !important;
background: #cc9900 !important;
}

Check out that site css-tricks.com for more information on CSS properties available. As per our support policy we won’t be able to provide further assistance on customizations/design tweaks, but if you are interested in hiring a professional developer to help you, we have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks—they’re simply some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

Best of luck with your customizing! 😀

— George
