how to get css default back to normal

[Terri]

Hi:

I’m sorry, I don’t have time to sleuth to figure this out: since I upgraded to the newest version, here’s what my events look like:

http://fewjapan.com/event/few-summer-wine-sampling-with-table-mountain-and-kimono-wine-bar-and-grill/

The default font is whatever this outlined, white font is – it’s unreadable.

All of my events have this setting now, and my client is freaking out, understandably.

Please let me know what specific document do I need to change, where is it located, and what do I need to change it to to get it back the default of regular san-serif text?

thanks,

Terri

Hi Terry,

Thanks for you note. I can see the issue your talking about on my end too, so hopefully we can point you in the right direction.

First of all the Events Calendar inherits its style from the theme unless you have some more specific styling somewhere in your stylesheets. So whats happening here is that its inheriting the style from elsewhere in your site.

In the CSS file “red.css” I noticed this on line 16:
.description{color:#ffffff;text-shadow:#880000 1px 1px 0;}

If you go ahead and edit this to something more readable just be aware that it will change the style anywhere else on the site that you are using .description

Sorry I hit post before I was finished.

Hope this points you in the right direction Teri, let me know if you have any further questions or need any more clarification.

Hi Neil:

Thanks for your note. I took out the text-shadow and changed the white text to black, but there’s no change in the Events Calendar event posts – the default is still the white shadowed font.

the thing that I ca’t understand is, if the css is taken from the theme, why did it suddenly change: I haven’t changed the theme. anyway, what else can I change to solve the problem?

thanks,
Terri

Hi, do you have any other suggestions? I’m getting a bit desperate because the client is pretty peeved with this – they have events coming up that they can’t promote now.

thanks,
Terri

Neil,
My clients are also getting a bit irked by the sudden change.
You said the Events Calendar inherits styles from the theme. However, in the old version, I had created a custom template file that was saved in the “events” folder within my theme folder. Now it looks like the calendar is not using that template (and therefore my styles are not being applied as needed).
Is there a way to get this custom template to apply to the new calendar? If not is there an easy way to switch back to the older version until I have time to research and plan the upgrade? Let me know, thanks.

Sorry, I realized that I can change the name of the “events” folder to “tribe-events” to have the custom templates apply.

However, there’s still some issues that I will need to spend time fixing. If there is a way to switch back to the old version until I have time to spend time on this upgrade that would be great.

If I try to delete the Events Calendar Pro plug-in – in order to re-install the older version – I get a warning that it will delete the files as well as the data. Does that mean I will lose all saved settings and other data? If so, how can I go back to the older version without losing anything? Thanks.

Hey Terri
It looks like you adjusted the styles on p.description. The .description class is being added by your theme to a div so your new styles aren’t kicking in.

You can either adjust that, or you could add some css like this

.tribe-events-content {
color:#000;
text-shadow:none;
}

Hey folks. Neill is out for the earlier part of today and I wanted to jump in here to make sure I got everyone an adequate reply.

Terri: thanks for the follow-up. Reid pointed out the solution you should need here! Let us know if that doesn’t do the trick, though, and we’ll get you more help as we can.

Sunil: I’m sorry for the inconvenience you’ve faced thus far here. I’ll say right off the bat that if you want to downgrade temporarily until you’ve had a chance to figure out the integration quirks, you can email us (pro /a/ tri.be) referencing this thread and we’ll get you a downgrade script + the last round of code. That said, we are committed to helping folks get their issues sorted…so if you were willing to create a new thread (so as not to create confusion with Terri’s issue) and include a link to the site, we can definitely do our best to get you sorted. Thanks for your patience in the interim.

Hi Reid:

That did it! I just needed to add it to the child style sheet, not the red.css one.

what a relief!

thanks,
Terri

Super duper Terri!! Happy to help.

Hi Reid:

one more thing I just noticed:

http://fewjapan.com/event/few-summer-wine-sampling-with-table-mountain-and-kimono-wine-bar-and-grill/
the ical and google cal links are weird, too. they should just be regular links, like the rest of the site, but they have this grey background…can you tell me the css to get rid of this, too? then I’ll drop it into the child theme stylesheet and hopefully that’ll do it.

thanks,
Terri

Lets see what we can do. Give this a try.


.tribe-events-button {
background-color: transparent;
}
.tribe-events-button:hover{
background-color: transparent;
}

Hey Terri – note in the above code. For just a second there was a typo – an extra } at the end. I deleted it from the comment, but just in case you grabbed it in the 30 seconds between me publishing it and editing it, make sure the snippet ends with 1 }

[Terri]

Perfect, thank you!!!!
