My calendar caries over my theme and looks horrible. How can I change it to a white page with black borders and then colored writing for events?

Here is my current… http://evolveforensics.com/calendar-of-events/

Ok, so the calendar looks better although I have no idea what I did. Now it is white background, which is what I want, but how do I change the fonts of the lettering so that it can be more contrasting? Also, when I click on “Register” when I click on a class in the calendar, it takes me to a post page and not to the check out page.

Hello,

The calendar is adapting some styling from your current theme. You can adjust the styling with some new CSS.

For example, this can be used to change the month heading:

.fc-header-title h2 {
	color: #333333;
	}

On the registration flow, a registration is started from the single event page rather that the calendar directly.

Is the ticket selector turned off on this event through the event registration options area of the event editor?

It appears in the top right area of the event editor.

“Display Ticket Selector” is set to “yes”

I tried putting in that CSS but that didn’t help. I am sure it is user error…PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer)

Also, when I click on “Register” when I click on a class in the calendar, it takes me to a post page and not to the check out page.

It is expected that you would be directed to the single event post to start the registration from there, however Event Espresso hooks into the_content() to output the details using your WP template file (usually single.php but it depends on the theme).

If you preview onf of the default themes through the admin do the details show as expected then?

Go to Dashboards -> Appearance -> Themes -> {click on of the default themes} -> Preview.

That allows you to view the site using that theme without actually switching it.

Were are you placing the code?

You will likely find Lorenzo’s selector is being overridden by more specific rules, try something like:

#espresso_calendar h1, 
#espresso_calendar h2 {
    font-size: 48px!important;
}

The font size is just an example to shot you if its working, you’ll want to change that change the font color to suit.
