Side calendar icons in widget not showing

[Scott Salvati]

We purchased the Polytechnic theme from Envato in which your calendar came installed and highly recommended. We bought the pro version specifically to have the functionality of a calendar icon on the left in all widgets. Needless to say, it doesn’t show the calendar icon. And yes, we ran through all of the typical plug-in troubleshooting including inspecting the code directly. This ain’t our first rodeo ya know. (and no, this isn’t Scott… this is Mike, the other guy that works with Scott. I figured I should be specific as the post prominently has his name and his grinning photo.)

Long story short, we got the free All-in-One calendar plug in and it works just fine within a few short seconds, as opposed to the three hours I’ve spend trying to get your calendar to work properly. It’s not the worst waste of time I’ve experienced in my life. Twenty years ago, I did go out of my way to see Johnny Mnemonic in the theater… and believe it or not I actually watched it again a decade later to see if it was as bad as I remembered. It was, and I was ashamed of myself.

Seeing has how we dropped a few bucks for the pro version, we’d like to use your plug-in instead… as it is a nicer presentation overall. But if we can’t, we’d like a refund. We’re running this on a Godaddy managed WordPress server. I’ll send you directly to a page where both calendars are in the sidebar. http://7db.a89.myftpupload.com/about-batavia-main-street/getting-involved/

We can send over login info as well if need be.

Ok, for some reason I ended up posting twice, and my issue is still not resolved. I know this doesn’t bode well for my editing abilities. But yeah, we still need help.

Howdy Mike,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us. Sorry to hear we are head to head with Johnny Mnemonic on worst time wasted 🙁 Hope I can revert that 🙂

So the issue you are experiencing is with Event List Widget and not seeing the date icons, right? I’ve inspected your site’s code and I can see the theme is hiding the icon (intentionally apparently), specifically in line 1386 of the stylesheet: http://7db.a89.myftpupload.com/wp-content/themes/polytechnic/theme-core/theme-assets/stylesheets/theme-4-plugins.css. To confirm this please try switching to WordPress default TweentyFifteen theme and re-test.

Please run this quick test so we can confirm the theme is hidding it,
Best,
Nico

I think you’re right. Strange as this theme kind of promotes itself as being compatible with your (and several other plug-ins). I kind of figured as such, but these things are quite complicated to narrow down. Is there a rewrite on line 1386 or elsewhere you suggest we add to fix the issue without crashing the site?

Ok… I think I fixed it… starting with line 1386 of the stylesheet: http://7db.a89.myftpupload.com/wp-content/themes/polytechnic/theme-core/theme-assets/stylesheets/theme-4-plugins.css

I reworked some of the css and it appears the issue has been solved. Mostly, I removed the two elements that seemed to be interfering, boosted up the text and expanded the width. Unless you see a reason to be concerned I think we’re good to go!

/* PRO – TEXT WIDGET */

.hentry.vevent.type-tribe_events {
width: 98% !important;
float: left;
display: block;
margin: 0 2.4% 5px;
}
.tribe-mini-calendar-event {
border-bottom: 0 none;
display: block;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 0;
}
.type-tribe_events .tribe-mini-calendar-event .entry-title > a {
font-size: 1.6rem;
font-weight: 400;
margin: 0rem;
text-align: left;
}
.tribe-events-widget-link {
clear: both;
}

Hey Mike,

That seems to be working smoothly on the site! It’s responsive as well. So I think you’ve done a good job fixing that 🙂

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico
