Hi Jennifer,

I managed to recreate your style of calendar by removing the content of the Header Style box in Event Espresso > Calendar Settings > Advanced Settings.

If the same box is empty in your settings, either add the following to it and save or perhaps tick the reset calendar tick box and save though that will reset all the settings for it.

left: 'prev, today', center: 'title', right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay,next'

Hi Jennifer,

When I view the source of the above linked page (around line 272 of the calendar page source), it looks like the General Display code has been removed or commented out.

If you open up the espresso-calendar plugin’s espresso-calendar.php on the server, it should read something like this starting around line 465 right before the code block that’s labeled “Theme Settings”:

//month, basicWeek, basicDay, agendaWeek, agendaDay
                    defaultView: '<?php echo $cal_view ?>',

                    //Defines the buttons and title at the top of the calendar.
                    header: { //Settings: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/display/header/
                        <?php echo stripslashes_deep($espresso_calendar['espresso_calendar_header']) ?>
                    },

You could also download a fresh copy of the calendar add-on from your account page and compare the file from a fresh copy to what is installed on the site.

With the print question, Event Espresso’s calendar is built on top of the jQuery FullCalendar plugin. While Event Espresso doesn’t include a print stylesheet for the calendar add-on, the downloadable version of FullCalendar includes a print stylesheet which I would recommend as a starting point. You can download a copy of the FullCalendar plugin here: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/download/ This will include a fullCalendar print stylesheet that you could add to your WordPress theme.

Here are two guides on how to work with print style sheets:

I can see the button with Firebug turned on (screenshot: http://www.screencast.com/t/etbgDIGvW). So it looks like something in your theme is overriding the calendar style. Have you tried temporarily switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to see if that fixes the issue? You may have to contact the theme developer and ask them to help fix the issues.

Hi Joe,

Can you try switching to one of the themeroller styles in Event Espresso>Template settings? There are darker themes that will match the dark color scheme of your theme. Activating one of the themeroller styles will usually address the issue with the missing arrow buttons.

Hi Jennifer,

It looks to me that the simplest way forward is to download a fresh copy of the calendar add-on and install it. The code I posted above should have been in the file. So since it was missing, other parts might be missing too.

@josh – BINGO! That worked. Thanks!
