editing capabilities

[Angie]

I can see the benefits of all of the functionality of the pro version. What I can’t see is if you can change the colors and fonts etc. if you buy the pro version? I’m currently using the free version. The top header is this blue color that clashes with the blue of my theme. I’ve tried inserting html code into the “before event calendar” section but it didn’t work at all. I’m not going to purchase something if I can’t have full editing capabilities.

Hi Angie

Events Calendar Pro does not add any additional styling beyond what The Events Calendar already has.

We aren’t equipped to offer customization help in the pre-sales forums, 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. We generally don’t recommend that you change the theme or plugin’s CSS files directly, as they will be overwritten. 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.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
