Event summary pop up is blocking the event link.

[Natalia Neira]

Good folk at Modern Tribe,
The event summary pop up in the calendar view is blocking about 98 percent of the event link. I was wondering if there was a way to have the summary pop up always appear in the upper corners. Thanks.

Hi nicolapenacultural,

There isn’t a built in way to delineate where the summary pop up appears, but if you’re comfortable with some code you might be able to change it with a template override. One of the .php files you can change is for that widget, so you’d want to start there. We have an intro to template overrides in our Themer’s Guide.

Thanks,
Leah

FWIW (and I’m not sure where this comment should be added), I’ve seen numerous WP themes which do not include the proper body class on the Events Calendar pages. My theme, for example, extends the WP body_class and replaces it in my header.php, so I simply hooked into that extension and added the proper body classes in conditional statements as found in a typical ECP install.
I bring this up because the CSS element attributes for tooltips are specific to a particular body class. In this case, on the Month view, your body class should include “events-gridview,” otherwise the appropriate styles do not get applied. Furthermore, the ECP CSS is great and advanced, and the overrides work as prescribed, but I think a lot of folks have troubles understanding specificity in style sheets.

That’s an excellent bit of feedback, snorton. We’ve noticed a lot of what you’re mentioning here are indeed prepping some new docs/tutorials that should help people understand the breakdown & specificity of the stylesheets.
