(I&#8217;d be happy to supply screenshots and other info to a private contact at tri.be).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to make the colors of the ECP elements match the theme of a site for a client (in fact, customize them for any theme), and I&#8217;m having a really difficult time with it.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter what theme I choose, whether it&#8217;s the default twenty twelve or thirteen that comes with WP, or a custom theme of my own, I cannot get the colors to change appropriately for the project.<\/p>\n<p>I make this post after spending a lot of time following the guidelines at https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/documentation\/events-calendar-themers-guide\/<\/p>\n<p>I followed the instructions there and place a stylesheet  called tribe-events-pro.css in the tribe-events\/pro\/ directory I created for each theme (both the custom theme and the default WP themes), and disabled all plugins except for Akismet during my testing. And within the tribe-events-pro.css file I basically copied the tribe-events-pro-theme.css file and completely replaced all of the hex color values with crazy odd colors to that I could try to see a difference, but to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>(I&#8217;d be happy to send the css files to a tri.be staffer privately to demonstrate so.)<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately I cannot get any of the important elements to change color using the https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/documentation\/events-calendar-themers-guide\/ and I have spent for too many hours trying to make it work and I&#8217;m under a serious deadline (past it, actually) for my client. <\/p>\n<p>The tiles behind each day in the &#8220;Month&#8221; view won&#8217;t change to the colors I need, the background behind the header above each date will not change to what I want, the borders and text colors will not change to what I want, the backgrounds for thing such as the Google Maps view will not change, etc&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I can assure you that I create a tribe-events\/pro\/ directory within each theme, and inside that directory I placed a tribe-events-pro.css file with completely changed hex codes for my colors and it make absolutely no difference. I continue to get the tribe-events-pro-full.css default colors for most elements regardless of what I do. <\/p>\n<p>In this particular case there are no incompatible \/ extraneous plugins interfering. This is a fresh WP install with only bare minimum typical plugins (which I deactivated during testing).<\/p>\n<p>Can I please make direct private contact with a tri.be staffer to try to sort this out? I&#8217;m in a serious pinch here and have spent more hours trying to resolve this via the resources available on this site than I&#8217;m getting paid for the job. I realize that&#8217;s not tri.be&#8217;s problem, but I did purchase the Pro &#8220;Business License&#8221; and had planned to purchase the Dev license this week because I have more than 3 sites I want to use this product on. A little help without having to expose sensitive URLs and client info publicly would be nice. If I can get this resolved then I will definitely be upgrading my &#8220;Business&#8221; license to &#8220;Developer&#8221; license within a few days. But right now I&#8217;m not feeling too comfortable with the only avenue of support being a public forum. I realize I sound a bit tense at this moment, because I am. I&#8217;m past an important deadline and under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your consideration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-66755","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Custom styles ovveride troubles - beyond frustrated and working a deadline -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/custom-styles-ovveride-troubles-beyond-frustrated-and-working-a-deadline\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Custom styles ovveride troubles - beyond frustrated and working a deadline -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello MT folk, I&#8217;m not real comfortable with posting info publicly and I&#8217;d much prefer direct private support contact, so my apologies if any part of this is vague.
