OK, just shoot me. I finally followed the FAQ’s directions, contacted my provider (Bluehost) and found out that there is a setting in C-Panel to configure the PHP level, which was set to 4. Thanks for disregarding this!

Well, back again. The FAQ just says to make sure the host is using PHP 5. Mine is using PHP 5.2.13, so I still have a problem.

OK, sorry, I found an older problem just like this and scribu said to “Read the FAQ”, so I’ll look for that. No need to answer, thanks.

Hi all,

I had the same problem and fixed it this way:

1. view source on either the calendar or list view.
2. Find the words “Calendar of Events”
3. See it’s class=”tec-cal-title”
4. Found the only .css file I could find in the plugin, which was the plugins/the-events-calendar/resources/events.css (used ftp client to find and edit)
5. Messed up a couple of times, which was easy to see by refreshing, but put padding-top: 30px; on that class, which made it look good.
6. Looked at the view source for “Event List” (the text on the first button)
7. Saw they were both in the span class=’tec-calendar-buttons’
8. Added the same padding-top: 30px; to that class in the events.css and everything looked good.

This is the first time I’ve ever edited anything other than toy programs using php and css. I’m an experienced programmer in other languages and I’ve read a lot about this stuff. If you have a problem with the layout in a particular plugin and that plugin has a .css file, I would recommend making the changes there.

I hope that helped somebody.

OK, I found a couple of links that should clear things up, in case anyone else finds this and is still in need:

Read this whole thread about this issue in Alex King’s blog.

Then this www.ads-software.com article about it.

I hope that helps someone!

I have the same problem. I, too, know about the mysql database default settings and changing them to unicode. Does anyone know a way of changing the default of the databases BEFORE creation (or whatever the WordPress database upgrade does?

Sorry this is not an answer bonitapang, but if I find one, I’ll post it back here.
