problem with Find out more section

I can now see that the problem is related to selecting “dark” as the base color scheme for the twenty sixteen theme.

If I select “red” as the base color scheme color then I can read the “Find out more” text.

How can I keep the dark option but still read the “Find out more” text?!

Hey @gcwp,

Thanks for posting, glad like our plugin, & I’m happy to help.:)

This kind of request would require some customization. We have some resources for doing that here.

Based on your request specifically, you could use some custom CSS and drop it into a child theme or a custom CSS plugin (I personally like Simple Custom CSS).

If you need to find someone to help with the customizations, we also have some tips for finding help here.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Shelby

further steps forward?!

have changed the text etc colors (text white) and all pages OK except that the “Find out more” words which have white characters do not appear as the background for this section is white!

How do I change the background color for the “Find out more” section?

I have tried using Firebug but cannot identify the area in order to try adding some css into the style.css file…

I see <div class =”tribe-events-single-section tribe-events-event-meta primary tribe-clearfix”

Should I use this in css?

.tribe-events-single-section tribe-events-event-meta primary tribe-clearfix {
color: blue;
}

??!!

Hey Geoff,

You could do something like this:

a.tribe-events-read-more{
background: #000000 !important;
}

Best,

Shelby

Have tried this but with iPhone as I scroll down the page contents the background image disappears up the screen! ?!

Geoff

sorry Shelby I got your suggestion muddled with a separate problem I have! Will try again but a second thought…

I wish to use the Twenty Sixteen theme to set the colors for the entire site and this works well except for The Events Calendar text colors and background colors.

I am capable of adding css into the Twenty Sixteen style.css file but can you tell me in simple terms (!) how I can overwrite the Twenty Sixteen colors for The Events Calendar?

Many thanks

Geoff

Have clued into putting tribe-events.css into my theme folder!

How do I use css to change the background colour of the calendar boxes (not sure what you call these spaces?!

Cheers

Geoff

Hey Geoff,

Now that I have more information about how you’re trying to use the plugin, I think I can give you some better direction. ?? (Hooray!)

I would suggest changing the template settings under Events > Settings > Display > “Default stylesheet used for events templates” (There is more about this setting in this doc here under the heading “Basic Template Settings”). Choosing “Skeleton Styles” or “Full Styles” will likely help you out here.

Let me know how this goes, sorry it’s been a bit rough to figure this out.

Best,

Shelby ??
