Thank you! Worked like a charm.

Barry,

Can you help me with one more thing? On that same link I included, I’d like to close up the space between the Event Title and the Event Date above the photo.

I’ve tried pasting what I think is the selector into custom CSS but nothing works.

Right now, the date is crammed too close to the “next” and “previous” events. What I am is a graphic designer, and proximity of like elements is important! : )

I can generally find the right declaration by looking things up. But I’m often stumped by the selector. I use a browser tool to discover what it might be, but sometimes it’s not so obvious.

Thanks,
Jane

Hi Barry,

Thanks for this. The first line of code didn’t work but the 2nd one did.

Now that it’s all aligned together, I see why they did it that way. Because the “date” and “time” are all in roman style, they don’t stand out from the actual date and time. Would be great if they could be bolded!

I do have some other .tribe-events selectors in my custom CSS. I wonder if they’re conflicting with the effect of the padding:0 in your first line of code.

I’ll play around with it. Thanks for the resource. I did do an upgrade to the plugin yesterday and it claims to fix some of the formatting.

Cheers,
Jane

Hi Barry, you again!

If you scroll to the bottom of this page, you’ll see the “Details” part of the automatic events calendar style/formatting.
https://slowfoodportland.com/event/coffee-nomics/

All the rest on the page formatting (Tickets, Date, etc) are my own styles because I don’t like the way the default settings look.

Among the things I’d like to change:

– Don’t like the indented word “Details.” Can I move it to the left? (I’d also like to change the word “Details”)
– Start” and “End” time is further indented. This isn’t really necessary. It creates ugly gaps of space.

– Possible to put the start and end times on the same line as “start” and “end”?
– Can I bold “start” and “end” and the like, to stand out better?

I noticed when I fill in more of the plugin’s fields, it puts the content in separate columns. This is okay but with all that indenting, it looks horrible.

Thanks!
Jane

Hi Barry,

I’m sorry I let this drop. That website is a volunteer gig and I had bigger fish to fry. I’m afraid that would be too much work to try to do what you suggest.

I think I’m going to have to cross my fingers.

I posted a different question about fixing some pretty bad formatting/styling in The Events Calendar. That’s more important right now but I haven’t had a reply.

Cheers,
Jane

Hi Barry,

Sorry, I was without a computer for 6 days and replying via phone proved too difficult. Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, we’re up and running and I can’t run with a default theme because I had to do so much custom css to get it to look how I wanted, that I don’t want to risk losing it.

We only have 4 plugins including yours: MailChimp, Enhanced PayPal Shortcodes and Akismet.

I have done some custom css on some of the styles in the events area, such as changing the color of the month bar on the events home page. There’s more I’d like to change but I don’t know what selector to use in some cases. Do you think this could have caused the problem?

Hello,

Yes, I pasted it into the Text editor, not Visual.

I do see what you’re talking about when I View Source, all the additional
. There’s no way to delete them? What about adding a negative padding or something?

Can you explain what you mean by “(but that may have been messed up by posting here without using the code buttons)”. Not sure what “here” refers to or what “code buttons” mean.

Thanks,
Jane

Sorry. Here’s a link to the page.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I was not trying to log in via FTP. I clicked on the “manual upgrade” button and was asked for host/username/password.

However, I think I’m going to enlist a WP dev friend to look at all this. Thanks for your help. I’ve driven myself a bit too crazy.

But I’m likely to be back later.

Cheers,
Jane
