Upgraded to 3.0 and none of this advice helps

[Heather]

Hey there,

I just upgraded from 2.0 to 2.11, and then to 3.0 and the styles and formatting are not working since 2.0. I have white on white text and the images are not in the right places. One of the views won’t load at all.

Please visit http://www.herestherub-llc.com/events/upcoming/ to see what I’m talking about and advice how I might fix it.

Note: I’m here with Becky in the Chicago WP Meetup, and she helped me upload the CSS add-on plugin per the forum’s direction, and nothing has changed. We were unable to locate an “events” folder to change to “tribe-events” and we can’t find settings to change text color, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Heather

Hi Heather,

Looks like some CSS rules from your theme are leaking through and causing this.

As a starting point, please simply edit your theme’s stylesheet and add the following rule to the bottom of that file:

#tribe-events {
color: #000;
}

(If you prefer you can probably do this by setting up a new stylesheet for events – but please see the updated themer’s guide as this process has changed since 2.0.11 and you would need to rename events.css to tribe-events.css in addition to renaming the events directory tribe-events).

I hope the above gets you started, let me know if there is anything else or if that doesn’t help.

Heather,
If you made modifications to the CSS in the previous version, you should find the “events” folder in your theme folder, or if you have a child theme, in your child theme’s folder. Inside that you would have had an events.css file for your CSS changes. To make modifications for Version 3, these need to be renamed to “tribe-events” folder with “tribe-events.css” inside that. Add copies of views you want to edit to that folder and modify any CSS in that .css file.

Indeed. Be aware however that a great deal of HTML output has changed structurally, so not all previous customizations will cleanly port across just by changing those directory/filenames, though it certainly may work in some cases and may at least form a starting point.
