Tweaks, Customization, Pointed help

Hello. First. I LOVE THIS PLUGIN! Thank you so much for making such a sexy plugin! Thank you!

Okay I have a few questions in which the search became quite overwhelming for me to search through. (Maybe adding tags to the queries may help or categories in the support forum?) BUT, here we go:

Before I share: I am using the WP-Clear theme which allows me to add my custom CSS. Is there a way to add my custom css here? If so, in my questions, would you be able to list out the css call tags for this too? 🙂

I noticed in my first calendar submission, the top grid is off centered. I am not sure where I could change this and make it even. Could you share with me where I would make these changes and how?

In my singular event listings, the font is incredibly small. I would love for it to match my theme’s font size.

I noticed there is a “Updated” function listed in the event description, is there a way to remove or is this just a admin facing thing?

Thank you kindly in advance!

Hey there Marie! Thanks for reaching out, and for your words. Welcome to the forum. I definitely can see the value in tagging support threads. We’re always modifying the forum to make it more useful and I’ve added that as a potential tweak for the future. (In the interim if your’e looking for something more neatly organized, perhaps our FAQ would help: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/faqs)?

For adding the CSS you’re using into the forums…that’s still not 100% refined. You can use the < code > tag, but it’s not perfect. Most users trying to show more than a line or two will drop it into pastie.org or a related service and share the link from there.

It looks like on the header problem, which seems to be happening for each of the events I checked, is just a CSS issue. Not sure how to resolve that myself but I’ve asked our dev Jonah to take a look – hopefully he’ll be able to point you in the right direction.

The “Updated” feature is a product of the SEO microformats we introduced in 2.0 to help events from a search engine perspective. If they’re disabled the value of the micrformats functionality can be voided. If that’s not a concern to you, check out this thread: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/remove-updated-from-the-event-look/#post-16296.

Hope that helps! I’ll get Jonah in on the one mentioned above. Let me know if you have any other questions in the interim.

Hi Marie, try setting your ‘.c-sn-sw #content’ selector in your themes style.css file to have a width of 620px. It’s set really narrow and a lot of the events widths are percentage based so that’s what throws it off. If you need to apply it only on events pages you can prefix the selector with body classes like ‘. events-single .c-sn-sw #content’

For the font size you should just be able to target this in either style.css or /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/resources/events.css – if you want to make changes to events.css, make sure to make a copy and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme.

I hope that helps!

Hi jonah…

I am sorry. There is a lot of uber geek speak here and I am a baby geek? in my custom css, i placed this:

.c-sn-sw #content {
max-width:620px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
This did not change anything on my front page. 🙁

When you say Target this… the font below the image- I do not know what this area is as the content in the grid is different and I do not want to change that.

🙁

Hey Marie, I’m not seeing that CSS when I inspect the page, did you already take it out? Try just setting the width property and not max-width. And instead of using ‘.c-sn-sw’ use ‘.events-single’.

If you want to target the text on single events, just use something like:

.events-single .summary {
font-size: 20px;
}

…or whatever you need your font size to be. Hope that helps!
