Hi Jennifer,
You called it! That’s exactly what’s going on. I took out that css and the
Find Events button came back. But. . . so did the + Export Events at the
bottom of the page, and that’s what I was trying to hide with the CSS. I
corrected my css, and everything looks great. Thanks so much for your help.
I really appreciate your fresh set of eyes!

Much Appreciated,
Nancy

Hey Geof,
Great news, I was able to hide the element using css. I’d rather use css anyway, so I think we’re good on this issue.

thank you!

Hey Geoff,
I entered the script in the child theme, and it produced a 500 error.

Hey Victor,

Many thanks! It worked! You are freakn’ awesome!!!!!

Thanks again; I really appreciate all your help!

Hugs,

Hey Victor,
I tried adding it to the child theme, and the site broke. It produced a 500
error.

Any ideas as to why that happened?

Nancy

Hey Victor,
Thanks so much for this. I have not placed it in the theme yet as I am wondering if when the theme is updated, your php will be over written.

Should I place this in the child theme?

Thanks very much.

[Nancy]

Awesome! thanks very much Victor. I really appreciate it.

Hey Victor,
I can’t thank you enough for providing the CSS to further style the featured events. As you know, I’ve been very frustrated with not being able to find the classes for these elements. I have not experienced this with any other plugin. I can always inspect the element and find what I am looking for. Again, thank you so, so much for providing this.

As far as what type of support you can provide, based on my experience with other plugins and their support policies, and especially since it is so difficult to find the classes for the events elements, I didn’t think I was asking for custom development. To me, that would be a server side issue as opposed to a browser side issue. It’s not like I was trying to add the color blue to anything or asking for additional functionality. I was trying to eliminate that background color because someone thought it would be a cool feature.

But again, I sincerely thank you for providing answers to my questions. I was beginning to think I was going to have to back up and thereby lose hours worth of work. I am very pleased now with the styling of the features on the home page. So again, thank you for going the extra distance on this. I really, really appreciate it.

Best Regards,
Nancy

[Nancy]

Hey Victor,

Thanks so much for pointing me in that direction. I’ll use the excerpt box and customize accordingly.

Next Issue:

I have an events feed on the home page of my site. https://www.saintjamespreschool.com/

If you scroll down past the opening slider, you’ll see it.

I spent probably 1.5 hours styling this. . . getting rid of the bright blue background that evidently appears with featured events etc.

How do I get the “raised panels” to extend the full width of the 2/3 column. I’d also like the event title and date to be to the right of the featured image, so in effect, the text would wrap around the image. Not that there’s enough text to wrap, but you get the idea. Below the screenshot is the CSS I am using to achieve what you see in the screen shot.

/* —>Home Page-Event-FeedWith-featured-eventend-featured-event<—*/

In Addition, that blue background shows up in the Month view. What is the CSS to make this transparent? I can’t tell you how many times I have inspected the element hoping to see that blue swatch appear so I can make it transparent. I just can’t find it. I know there is a solution to this. But honestly, if this cannot be changed, I cannot use the featured image category AT ALL. (Just an fyi, I am not mad at you! But I do want you to know how frustrating this is!)

My number one complaint and frustration about this plugin is how difficult it is to change the styles. Either it’s nearly impossible to inspect the element, or when I do finally find the element and adjust the CSS so it looks good in one setting (list view or details page), it looks absolutely horrible in another setting (month, list, week view).

Thank you so much for your help Victor. I really appreciate it.

[Nancy]

Hey Victor,
I am ready to resume work on this issue. I’ve attached the theme. Let me
know if you need anything else.

And just to clarify, what I hope will happen is that the user would click on
events and see the house icon followed by the word Events. I’m not looking
for each individual event to be in the breadcrumbs. . . just the word
Events.

Thanks very much for your help.

Hey Patricia,

This issue seems to have cleared up. . . not sure if you did anything on
your end or not. I was getting a warning from WordPress about my max_
input_vars being too low. I called the host and made some adjustments, then
we “killed” the php, and now all is well.

But, this does not change the fact that I still have ongoing styling issues.
The word Month is now way too big. How can this be fixed? Thanks again for
all your help.

Hi Victor,
Thanks so much for your email. I am also working on a styling issue with
your team, and that has not been resolved. When that’s resolved, I’ll get
back to you about this issue. I don’t think it would be wise for you to be
working on your respective issues at the same time because php is involved.

Thanks for your patience!

[Nancy]

Hi Patricia,

I followed your directions below. I did have to add a folder to my theme’s
folder. I called it tribe-events and then placed the file: single-event.php
into that folder. Then I deleted the li classes you requested in the copied
file. In both instances what remained were empty

tags. I’ve
attached the file that’s being used at
public_html/wp-content/themes/pro/tribe-events

The result:

1. The prev and next elements are gone in the details view. This is great
and what we wanted to accomplish.

Other problems have arisen

1. There are no events showing in the month view. They do show in the list
and week views

2. The styling in the search bar at the top is now off.

So first things first, how do we get the events to show in the month view?
Just an fyi, I’ve set the default view to List. As you know, if you click on
Month, you’ll see the issue.

Thanks for all your help Patricia!
