Change background and removing numbering

    I am using Events for a customer site, and found your plugin for shortcodes, and got my category to display, but it looks strange. A background is there that I haven’t got anywhere on the site, and it’s numbering the events like a list.

    https://sivb.net/upcoming-events.html is the page. And https://sivb.net/events/category/upcoming-events/ is the menu link. The customer wants to add text above the calendar listing to direct people to a form to submit events, but I can’t do that in Events alone, so I’m embedding it in a page.

    Where do I need to look to change the css for this? In looking at source code, the event titles are showing as ‘bookmark’. That isn’t anywhere in my theme css, so I’m guessing it’s stashed somewhere else, but haven’t found it yet.

    Any direction on where I can find the code so I can massage the page look/feel would be welcome.

    Thanks!

    I’ve realized that at least some of the formatting is coming from widget css, this shows like a widget, but I’m not sure where in your plugin I can reference custom css that I can add in my theme so that the category listing page I created here https://sivb.net/upcoming-events.html will look more like what TEC creates here https://sivb.net/events/category/upcoming-events/ .

    I’m wary about digging into the php for the Event Rocket plugin without knowing what segment has to do with displaying the TEC category in a page.

    Any insight would be helpful.

    Thanks, Vicky

    Hi Vicky:

    You don’t need to modify anything inside Event Rocket here – it isn’t responsible for styling embedded widgets, you are!

    In this case you might add some rules like these to “normalize” things:

    .entry-content .widget {
  background: #fff;
  box-shadow: none;
  border: 0;
}

.entry-content .widget ol > li {
  list-style: none;
}

    Whether you append those (and anything else you need to shape it up however you want) to your existing theme stylesheet or to an additional custom stylesheet is completely up to you ??

    I hope that helps!

    Awesome ??

    Barry,

    After much searching, I’ve finally found what appears to the same problem I’m experiencing. It only occurs in the Event Calendar widget using the short code in the sidebar. – can be seen here https://niagarabmasons.ca/

    If the background and ordered list is coming from my theme, I’m at a loss where to find it.
    The same is true of the Event Rocket plugin (shortcode) I can’t find that either.

    Any chance you could point me in the direction where to find and what I have to edit.

    With thanks,

    John

    I’m not sure I can see the problem – is it on the homepage?

    Remember also, per the forum guidelines, it’s also best to create new topics of your own even if it does seem a very similar problem to one reported by another user ??

    Thanks!

    Please close.
