Configure background color and fonts

[Terry]

I want to change the background color and the font color of this event (see image below).

Where do I enter CSS, or is there aa better way?

Hi Terry

Unfortunately we’re limited in helping with styling customizations, per our Scope of Support / Terms. This is especially true this week as most of our team is out for the annual company retreat.

But a few tips to help you carry this further include:

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.

I hope this helps. Is there anything else I can do to help you?

Thanks,
Courtney 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
