CSS Settings Lost in 4.3.3 Update

[John]

Hello! I just updated to 4.3.3, and when I did so, the custom CSS code I have to format the fonts of the horizontal widget stopped working. For example, the heading should be 60px, but is now showing at 26px. I’ve attached a screenshot of the CSS code I have been using and is still active, but no longer seems to affect the widget. I can’t seem to find any way to override the font settings anymore. How can I get the CSS code to apply to the widget again? Is there a better way to modify the font settings? Thank you!

I’m unsure how you added your custom CSS before, but you can add custom CSS code via your child theme’s style.css file or via a plugin like Simple Custom CSS or, my favorite, Jetpack. Jetpack supports regular CSS and the LESS and Sass pre-processors.

If you’re not a CSS expert, Jetpack’s Custom Design reference may prove helpful.

Please let me know how it goes for you.

Hi Cliff! Thanks so much for your reply. I’ve been using SiteOrigin CSS – I’m not CSS savvy and they have a visual CSS editor that makes a lot of sense to me and has been working well for the past year or so since I created the site. You know, since I sent this message, I’ve found a lot of other glitches with The Events Calendar following the 4.3.3 update. The ‘cost’ option disappeared, which I think was a result of me adding your Eventbrite plugin – I was able to fix that using some code I found elsewhere in the forums here. But I’ve also been having issues with the dollar sign not showing up on event cost listings, and other events that had previously been free now have that field blank instead of saying ‘free’ on the frontend. Additionally, my Image library isn’t appearing when I try to add a featured event photo, and even if I upload an image, it won’t publish it. It will publish the post, but no image. On the front end, there are the styling issues that I mentioned yesterday, but also any Events Calendar pages won’t load. For example, in the horizontal widget, if you click to go to the next week, the wheel just keeps spinning but the page never loads. That’s across the board. I’ve tried it on a couple different computers with different internet connections, but all with the same result.

These issues seem totally random to me – like the root is from different things for each of them, and I’m sure they’re not all the fault of The Events Calendar – but can you find any common thread between them? This weekend I renewed TEC Pro and Facebook Events, and also added the Eventbrite plugin and Event Aggregator. At the same time I upgraded to 4.3.3. I did not make any updates to WordPress as it was already up to date (v 4.6.1) and I did update a handful of other plugins, though I don’t remember exactly what they all were. It was after this series of installs and updates that all these issues started appearing.

Obviously this is a big deal for me, and I’m in the middle of a lot of deadlines for other projects, so I don’t have much time to devote to this right now. Any thoughts you might have or resources to point me to in order to help would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to hopefully help sort this out.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-css/ is awesome! I’ve never seen that before, but I gave it a quick test and it looks really useful. Thanks for the tip! However, since it’s a third-party plugin, I’d have to suggest disabling it (to disable your custom CSS) to see if that resolves any of your CSS issues. Or maybe I’m not understanding your question about your site’s CSS.

Yes, the Event Cost field goes away when any of our ticketing plugins is active on your site. You can add it back if you choose.

Regarding your Media Library issue and your The Events Calendar pages not loading, it sounds like you should enable WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG and resolve any debug messages that occur when browsing your site, uploading a file, adding an event, etc. If you find any WP_DEBUG messages relevant to our plugins, please create a new thread for that issue.

The only commonality that I can think of when you see a variety of seemingly-unrelated issues is that you have some plugin or theme conflicts or possibly some customizations that are outdated for the current version.

Let’s keep this thread to just the CSS issue/question. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

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!
