Font Color for Days, Changing Start Day of the Week, Changing Header of Calendar

[Allison]

I have a couple of questions and I can’t figure these out. I’ve spent a couple of hours looking for answers but can’t find a straight answer. I’m not a coder so please help!
1. How do I change the font color on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. in the month view? Currently, mine is black and I want it to be white.
2. In the month view, how do I start the week with Sunday instead of Monday?
3. How do I change the header so instead of saying “Events for November 2016” it says “Yoga Classes in November”

Thanks for any help!

Good evening Allison and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

1. How do I change the font color on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. in the month view? Currently, mine is black and I want it to be white.

There a couple of ways to do this. You could:

1. Experiment with the customizer in Appearance > Customize > the Events Calendar
2. Experiment with the first setting found on the Events -> Settings -> Display page
3. Add some custom CSS rules to your theme’s style.css or custom CSS section

.tribe-events-calendar th {color: #fff !important}

2. In the month view, how do I start the week with Sunday instead of Monday?

You need to change that at the WordPress level. Head over to Settings > General

3. How do I change the header so instead of saying “Events for November 2016” it says “Yoga Classes in November”

This will require a bit of customization. You can:

1. Use the following snippet: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string/
2. Create custom templates for your views and harcode that title: You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the quick response. I’m still struggling with the color of Mon, Tues, Wed, etc. I tried option 1 & 2 you provided but there wasn’t any options for colors on the Display page and I tried every option in the Customize section with no success. Do I have a different version of The Events Calendar?

Hey Allison,

Thank you for writing back.

I am sorry to hear that you are still struggling with the colour of the names of the days of the week.

To answer your question, this is not caused by the version of the Events Calendar you have. How the calendar looks is a combination of:

1. Your WordPress theme and its CSS rules
2. Your settings under Events -> Settings -> Display
3. Your settings in the Customizer.

When all that fails, you can always resort to CSS rules. If you are not too comfortable with these, I suggest installing the following plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

Once that is done, simply paste the following CSS rule and the days should display properly

.tribe-events-calendar th {color: #fff !important}

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
