I might be having the same issue here. When I have default page template enabled, not a problem other than the fact that it doesn’t format the way I would like. However, when I choose default event template, all static text takes on the same color as the background; I can tell this by selecting and dragging my mouse over the text area.
Any solutions to this? Is it my theme that’s causing the problem or is there something in the css I can edit to correct the issue?
