The button colors are completely illegible. People aren’t registering for my events because they can’t see the buttons, and this is a problem, please help me ASAP!!!

Hi Scott,
You have some custom CSS targeting your submit buttons – http://take.ms/rgkGw
That’s been added to the Simple Custom CSS plugin and targets all input buttons to have the dark blue background. I’m not sure what that rule was added for as it’s a selecting all inputs of type submit on your site it may be to general.
You can either remove that rule from the simply custom CSS plugin, use a selector that is more specific for its purpose, or over ride that style for the EE submit buttons (although that will require more custom CSS).
Was that rule added to target a specific submit button/section on your site?

I don’t know why there would be custom CSS targeting that button or any buttons. Can you tell me what lines of the CSS I should remove?
}
textarea, input[type=”text”], input[type=”password”], input[type=”datetime”], input[type=”datetime-local”], input[type=”date”], input[type=”month”], input[type=”time”], input[type=”week”], input[type=”number”], input[type=”email”], input[type=”url”], input[type=”search”], input[type=”tel”], input[type=”color”], .uneditable-input
input[type=”submit”] {
border: 1px solid #337ab7;
font: inherit;

Sorry I didn’t include all the lines. Here is the CSS stuff:
}
textarea, input[type=”text”], input[type=”password”], input[type=”datetime”], input[type=”datetime-local”], input[type=”date”], input[type=”month”], input[type=”time”], input[type=”week”], input[type=”number”], input[type=”email”], input[type=”url”], input[type=”search”], input[type=”tel”], input[type=”color”], .uneditable-input
input[type=”submit”] {
border: 1px solid #337ab7;
font: inherit;
}
input[type=”submit”] {
background-color: #337ab7;
}

I removed all of the above from CSS and it didn’t help. I don’t think that’s the problem.

Its this section:
input[type=”submit”] {
background-color: #337ab7;
}
You can comment the code out to test it if preferred, use:
/*
input[type=”submit”] {
background-color: #337ab7;
}
*/

Is the problem the blue background on the submit buttons? This – http://take.ms/7qzsg
If so the above is the cause as the above CSS is still active on your site.

Yes, that is the problem. No, the fix you gave me did not work.

Great.
On another note, it looks like there is server side caching enabled on your site with all pages force to be cacheable – http://take.ms/yntmK
Which hosting provider are you using?
Forcing all pages to be cached will cause problems with your registrations if not logged in.

I have another question — how can I remove the date to the left of the event? For example I have an event scheduled for September 20, 2016 but the date on the left says “08 Sep 16” because that is when I posted the event. How can I remove this totally? And also the little chat bubbles below my logo?

I am using Godaddy. I don’t know what server side caching is. Should I turn that off? How do I turn it off?

Those are added by your theme, the simplest way to remove them is to hide them with CSS.
This should do that for you:
.espresso_events .enigma_post_date,
.espresso_events .enigma_blog_comment {
display: none;
}
You can add that to the CSS plugin mentioned above to remove those from the EE listing.

Thank you very much, that removed the date. Your link http://take.ms/yntmK would not open up

I was going to open up another topic but maybe it is related to the server side cache issue? When I register for one of my events to test it, the email confirmation never comes to either me or to the email address I used to register it. It does appear that the registration went through though. Why aren’t confirmation emails being sent? (I checked spam folders, etc.)

Sorry, I’ve fixed the link in the above posts, it was missing a character.
If the hosting package your are using is the GoDaddy Managed WordPress package you will need to run through the steps posted here:
https://eventespresso.com/topic/incompatible-with-godaddy-managed-wordpress-hosting/
Why aren’t confirmation emails being sent? (I checked spam folders, etc.)
If you go to Event Espresso -> Messages you should a message activity list.
Can you see the messages there? If so they will have a colored stripe to the left, what colour is it?

Thank you. I followed the guide you linked to, including making several calls to Godaddy, installing FTP software, etc. There is no “object-cache.php” file in the wp-content folder:
https://snag.gy/W9aSvM.jpg
But there is an “object-cache.php” file in the “wp-content.old” folder which was last modified on 2/2/16. I am guessing this is irrelevant, but here is that screen shot:
https://snag.gy/qw5r3x.jpg
So, what should I do now?

Maybe the file was removed previously?
So, what should I do now?
Although all your pages show as cachable, they don’t seem to actually be hitting the cache so it should be ok – http://take.ms/DMWtA
In regards to your email issue:
If you go to Event Espresso -> Messages you should a message activity list.
Can you see the messages there? If so they will have a colored strip to the left, what colour is it?

Hmm that’s strange, it looks like your messages are generating but not being triggered to send.
If you click the double arrow icon does the message you click it for send or show an error? – http://take.ms/XUzbD
Also if you go to Event Espresso -> Messages -> Settings
You’ll find the option ‘Generate and send all messages:’, set that to ‘On the same request’, save the settings and retest.
Do you receive the email then?

It did send when I clicked that button. You should have received a registration confirmation for the one you registered for — please confirm that it went through to you. Then, when I changed that option in the settings, it seems to have fixed the problem. I registered for another event and the email hit both my inbox within seconds, and the inbox of the other email address I used to register for the event. I would appreciate if you would register for another event to see if the email promptly comes to you. Thank you for your help!!!

I did receive the email and I also re-registered onto your event and received the email shortly afterwards for that registration.
You should have received the admin email for that registration also.

I have phone number listed as a required field in Event Espresso/Management/Registration Form, but there is no phone number field on the registration form when trying to register. How can I fix this?
