CSS modifications in Tickets Plus

[Tamara Pickrell]

I’ve successfully made lots of changes to templates and CSS, but I’m having trouble with one particular thing today.

The issue is in the ticket section, in the attendee information fields. I need to change the color of both the labels and the input field text. So I’ve isolated the first selector (.tribe-event-tickets-plus-meta label), copied it to my /child theme/tribe-events/tribe-events.css, and added a text color. But nothing changes when I reload the page. So then I tried saving the whole tickets.min.css to that same folder, and nothing changes. The only way I can make the color “stick” is to make the changes to the original .css file in the plugin folder.

So my question is, do I need a different folder structure in my child theme for changes related to Tickets Plus? Is it looking in a different place?

Hi Tamara,

Thanks for reaching out! The template overrides described in our Themer’s Guide only work for the PHP templates found in the “plugin/src/views” folders. Other files (such as stylesheets) cannot be overrides in the same way. Sorry for the confusion there!

For CSS changes, you’ll want to add your custom CSS in one of the following ways:

• The Additional CSS area under Appearance > Customize (if you have one)
• The style.css file of your child theme
• A CSS plugin like Simple Custom CSS

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Thanks, Jennifer. That explains… well, it explains several things, actually. I have some things to redo… 🙂

Hi Tamara, I’m sorry that this wasn’t clear from the beginning! We have had a few other users attempting to do the same thing, so a clarification of the knowledge article may be in order 🙂

If you have any other questions, please let me know!
