Hi Karen,
Thanks for sharing the code so other users can make use of it 🙂
As for the View more link, that seems to be an offshoot of this customization. Try adding the following CSS code and see if it works for you:
p.tribe-events-widget-link {
clear: both;
}
It’s strange the template overrides for your child theme don’t work. Would you mind sharing a copy of your child theme, in a private reply if you’d like, so we can test on our end and see what we can find?
Thanks,
Victor
