Hi there Dawn, this may be a combination of your theme and the events calendar CSS.

I was able to test a solution in my local web browser.

Try this CSS by adding it to your child theme’s stylesheet or via a plugin that adds an additional stylesheet to your WordPress site such as My Custom CSS or Reaktiv CSS Builder.:

.widget_ee-calendar-widget #espresso_calendar .fc-event-title {
   	white-space: normal !important;
	overflow: visible !important;
}

Then refresh the page to see the changes.

Hi, could you provide an updated link to the events calendar so we can take another look?

Thanks

Thanks. I have a question about the new issue that was reported.

Here is what it looks like with that new CSS disabled:

I’m not seeing the colors that you mentioned. Does the colors appear as expected with the new CSS is removed?

Hi Dawn,

The color for the different event categories are not working?

I checked this on the current software and it appears to be working:

Could you share a screenshot (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/troubleshooting-checklist/#screenshots) of your settings for the calendar?

Hi Dawn,

I notice you are actually using the widget version of the calendar on your page, which is why you originally only saw flags. Is this intended?

The reason I as is there is actually 2 ‘instances’ of the calendar you can use, one uses the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode within the post content and is the full size version of the calendar.

The other is the widget version, which is intended for the sidebar and is a mini view of the calendar.

You currently have the widget version set to display full page so just wanted to check if you knew about the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] version?

Unfortunately I can’t preview pages on your site unless logged in.

You’ll need to publish that page so I can view it. When publishing you can set the page as password protected if you prefer and post the password here.

For me clicking the categories reloads the same page with ?event_category_id={category} which would be expected.

I tested using the Calendar within a draft post and when previewing the post it does link back to the homepage, this is due to the page not actually existing when the calendar links to itself to load the category.

Currently you have multiple instances of the calender loading within the same page, if you load the Calendar once on that page using just [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] you should see a calendar similar to the widget.

Threw me for minute too 🙂

So now your page is using the full calendar with the extra features that comes with it. The category links now work for me too.

Is that how you want it to display or do you need something else?

You’re most welcome, Dawn.

I’ll mark this thread resolved, please feel free to open up another thread with any other issues/questions you may run into.

Have a great day.
