Changing Event Detail Background Color

[Colleen]

I am using Rhythm theme and the plug in translated really well into the feel of our site. Only problem is that when you click through on a specific event to see more details, the area that should display venue, price, etc. is a white box with white text. I would love to find a way to change the background to the same dark gray that is the background on the rest of the page (#303030), but I’m not good with coding and struggled to customize it. Any suggestions?

Hi Colleen

Thanks so much for getting in touch! I’m afraid that we’re not equipped to provide technical support for current plugin users here in our pre-sales forum. A few tips to help you carry this further include:

1. Start by modifying what you can at Appearance » Customize » The Events Calendar.
2. We generally don’t recommend that you change the theme or plugin’s CSS files directly, as they will be overwritten. To avoid this, follow the steps outlined in Themer’s Guide
3. Use overriding CSS files, or add CSS to your site using Appearance » Customize » Additional CSS.
4. Use !important before a semicolon to override every css rule. It’s a brute force method, but works for quick fixes.
5. Please check out this Customizing WordPress #2 – Using Chrome Developers Tools YouTube video in addition to our Using Chrome Developer Tools tutorial on how to easily make changes using CSS.

We’d be more than happy to assist you at one of the following locations:

• If you’re using one or more of our free plugins such as The Events Calendar and Event Tickets, you can request assistance on the WordPress.org support forum for the affected product.
• If you’re a current license holder for one of our premium offerings, please log in to your account and submit a post to the appropriate forum for the affected product. Please include your System Info https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/ so we can better help you.

If you can, please take the time to confirm in your post that you’ve run through our Testing for Conflicts steps prior to contacting us–this will save us a step and help us to get your issue resolved that much quicker! 🙂

Thanks again, and we’ll see you in the forums!
