Events Listing Typo

[Courtney]

You could manually run the update by uninstalling Events Calendar Pro. Then go to My Account » Downloads and My Account » Licenses to download, upload, and activate it again.

Never mind. I found 4.4.7 in the WordPress updates page. It is updated now. But still no change in the error 🙁

For some reason the update I ran yesterday did not ‘take’, but just now I found it in the dashboard and updated successfully. The extra ‘1’ typo is gone! Yay!

I still would like to be able to customize the color background (it is currently a blue that clashes with our branding colors), and customize the events listing in the sidebar widget. Whatever I do to change the options doesn’t seem to update the display on the home page.

Also the “View more…” text has no padding. It needs to be moved over a little. I have attached a screen shot to illustrate the issues.

Thanks,
Mary Kay

Yay Mary Kay! I’m happy that first problem was easily resolved.

To help you customize the look, here are a few tips.

1. Start by modifying what you can at Appearance » Customize » The Events Calendar.Most style changes can be done right from here.
2. Typically, don’t change the theme or plugin’s css files, they will be overwritten on updates. 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.

To fix the “View More”: can you add the following code to your child theme, or in Appearance » Customize » Additional CSS?

.tribe-events-widget-link {padding-left:20px}


Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Thank you, Courtney. The padding worked!

The other (bigger) issue I am having is that I cannot adjust anything in that sidebar. I added a Events Calendar and social media icons and they don’t show up. If I remove the Events Listing in the sidebar widget it still displays the event in the blue box. If I deactivate Events Calendar Pro the entire sidebar disappears. Should I start a new topic for this?

Ok, I found the correct sidebar widget to use and now I can adjust the content. Can you help me with some CSS for another issue, though? The Events Calendar widget is overrunning the bounding box of the sidebar. I have attached a screenshot with the problem.

Thank you!

Hi Mary Kate

Can you add the following code to your child theme, or in Appearance » Customize » Additional CSS?


.tribe-mini-calendar-wrapper {width: 89%;}

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

[ignitedbytruthadmin]

Yay! That worked perfectly. Thank you for all your help!

[Courtney]

Thanks again Mary Kate! 🙂
