Font sizes etc

[ompointyoga]

Hi, I designed a website and had the client purchase the plugin. I’ve tried to change the font size and weight in the css file but when I do I get the following message -Editing events-calendar-pro/resources/widget-calendar-full.css (inactive) << at the top of the page and I don’t see any changes. I’m not a developer/programmer but can make minor changes. Please advise why this is happening and where I should go to make direct changes. If you check the calendar on the site the entries are all in bold. They are bold in the footer as well. Would like them not to be.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

I’m sorry we haven’t been in touch with a reply here. We’ve been inundated with support requests as more people update to 3.0, so we are a little behind our usual 24-hour window for responses. We do not do support over the weekend, but we will be in touch here with a more substantial reply as soon as possible.

In the meantime, some of these tips might be helpful:
* Double check your Plugin page for updates. We’ve just released our latest maintenance release. As of 7/12, the most current versions are The Events Calendar 3.0.1 and Events Calendar PRO 3.0.2.
* If you’re experiencing a problem with links, try resetting and resaving your permalinks.
* If the issue is with settings, try resaving your settings page- even if you haven’t changed anything.
* Having trouble with a customization done in 2.x? Be sure to check out our Themer’s Guide and documentation.

You might also search the forums to see if someone else has a similar issue and has found a solution. Finally, if the problem you’re experiencing is a serious problem, you may choose to downgrade back to 2.0.11.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Best,
Leah
and the Modern Tribe Support Team

Hi ompointyoga

Thanks for your question and I hope you like the plugin so far.

Just a quick question to help us point you in the right direction. Are you using a theme that has customization settings on the backend? If so you might find a way to style the element there. You should be able to change the way that is displayed in that setting. If not let us know and I can dig a little deeper.

I am trying to figure out where I shall do modifications in order to ie get a different font, font color, font size, but it seems that I am a bit too inexperienced figuring it out. 🙂

Do the Events Calendar PRO use the WordPress Theme’s CSS that I install or does ECP completely use its own?

Example: I’d like to change the font for the Event description text and also change the color formatting for different headlines.

Would very much appreciate some guidance to this. Keep in mind that I am no GURU. 🙂

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ompointyoga
You’ve got a great looking website. Here’s a css snippet that you should add to your theme’s stylesheet that should take care of the bold issue and make the font a little smaller. Obviously adjust the font-size up or down to your liking.


#tribe-events-content .tribe-events-calendar div[id*="tribe-events-event-"] h3.tribe-events-month-event-title {
font-weight:normal !important;
font-size:13px !important;
}


Let me know if that works for you.

Hi Bodin
Every theme works a little bit differently, but in general Events Calendar Pro tries to use the theme’s styles where ever possible. We try to do this so that the calendar pages blend in with the rest of the site. Depending on how themes are coded, the end result can often need some additional css tweaks to polish it up.

The first tip I have for you. If you use the Chrome browser. You can right click on any element and select “inspect element.” This will open a new window that displays how the css rules are being applied to that element. From that window you can copy the class name, add it to your stylesheet and write new css to style that element.

Here’s a nice video that someone (not from Modern Tribe) made that shows how you can use that inspect tool to modify your css.

Thank you Reid for taking time to answer and for the tip! Will use Chrome and test your suggestion.

Guess the link to the video never got into your post.
