Color/theme settings

[John G]

We have two main issues before buying the Pro-version.
– absolutely no theme/coloring settings build-in. Any other plugin we’re trying out has this. Right now we got a white background with a light-grey text… pretty much unreadable. And no, we’re not adding/modding extra css -again-. For such a well-known plugin it is unthinkable this is nowhere provided!
– you must buy the pro version to try out the ticketing section and this is the thing we’re after. Since we’re already lost a lot of money on plugins promising heaven and delivering very poor quality we’re not falling in this anymore.

Hello John

To modify the plugin to look better with your theme, here are a few tips:

1. Start by modifying what you can at Appearance » Customize » The Events Calendar.
2. Typically, don’t change the theme or plugin’s css files, they will be overwritten on updates. 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.

You can try out our free ticketing plugin, Event Tickets. When you are satisfied with how it works you can then get Event Tickets Plus for payment processing purpses. Note: You will need WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads to handle the payment gateways.

We do offer 30 day refunds if you find the plugin does not meet your needs. It’s just a matter of submitting a refund request form at https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/refund-policy/.

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
