Events Calendar Page very poorly formatted

[Houman]

Hi – the events page is very poorly formatted. Suggestions?

[Geoff]

Hi again, Houman!

We definitely do try to make sure The Events Calendar is compatible the styles of as many themes as possible, but we can’t ensure that the calendar will look great in all cases just by the nature of how themes work. That said, we do have a few pointers here for how to deal with less-than-desirable layout conflicts.

Hopefully those tips will help out!

Cheers,
Geoff

Thanks Geoff, I’ll check the tips…

2 things though…

1. can you tell me how to center the content on the page? I can’t find /events/ under pages – I thought maybe your plugin created a page with a shortcode – but can’t find it…

2. I’m not married to my theme – even though it’s a premium one which I purchased. Can you suggest which are the best commercial themes that would look better with your plugin? I happen to like your site header/menu… is that based on a wordpress theme? if yes – can u tell me which?

Thanks!

Howdy Houman–nice to see you again and hope all is well. 🙂

1. can you tell me how to center the content on the page?

I think the best way to center text would be through CSS, like we did in your last thread. The reason you’re not seeing the calendar in Pages is because it’s actually an archive of events posts instead of a page.

2. I’m not married to my theme – even though it’s a premium one which I purchased. Can you suggest which are the best commercial themes that would look better with your plugin?

That’s a good question–and thanks for the compliments on our site! Our theme is custom, so unfortunately, it’s not available for download somewhere. We do have a theme we use as a demo here:

http://wpshindig.com/events/

I’d be happy to share that theme with you, if you’re interested in it. Otherwise, you might be interested in checking out our Showcase and perhaps getting in touch with any of those examples as a starting point for finding a new theme.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Houman–just checking in to see if you still had any questions here about compatible themes or if you’re good to go. Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Houman! This thread has been quiet for a couple of weeks, so I’m going to go ahead and close it. Please feel free to reach back out with a new thread if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
