Hi ML,
1. You’ll need to troubleshoot the CSS a bit and figure out where the element is going to. It sounds like it’s just being hidden on the page somehow. We test our plugin extensively in the default Twenty Twelve theme in WordPress in different browsers but cannot guarantee compliance with all other themes in all browsers. What version of IE?
2. For the list title you’ll need to first check whether you are using the Default Events Template or Default Page Template or other theme template from your theme in Events > Settings > Template. If using the former you should be able to use the following in your functions.php file: https://gist.github.com/4025639
I hope that helps!
