This widget was working fine, not sure what has happened.  The widget is not showing properly is side bar it appears part of the widget is cut off and the dates are not display a tick or cross like before.

Yep – same thing happened to me.  I do notice that if I mouse over a date for which I know there should be an event, it does provide a link and I can click on it.  However, there is nothing visible on the calendar widget to indicate there is an event there.

Did something break in the new update?

Hi Guys,

Sorry about that, not sure what the developer was thinking, looks like he changed some of the CSS to do with the ticks.

If you, as a temporary measure, add the following to the themes css or a plugin like my custom css it will add the ticks back

.espresso_calendar_widget a.fc-event-skin div {
background: url('../espresso-calendar/css/images/tick-circle-frame.png') no-repeat 6px -24px; !important }

.espresso_calendar_widget a.fc-event { top: 72px !important; }

@jonathan

Not sure why your calendar is cutting off, mine doesnt do that. However if you add this css it will resolve it

.espresso_calendar_widget {
width: 100%;
width: 250px;
}

Thanks Dean!  I got that to work only I had to leave out line 4 top margin.  Here it is: https://kennett-design.com/about/artists/jarred-fisher/

Hi Greg,

Good to know and thanks for providing feedback, I wasnt 100% sure about that “top” but my test server seemed to need it.

Can you explain exactly how to do that?

add the following to the themes css or a plugin like my custom css it will add the ticks back

This is my site

http://maltabluelagoon.com so you can see how its cutting the widget.

Also I don’t have any dates when I hover over like Dean, its just like an empty calendar. Could this update now have issues with my theme?

Hi Jonathan,

If you install the My Custom CSS plugin and activate it, it will add a menu item called My Custom CSS. Click that and a box will be shown.

Paste the following into the box and click save

.espresso_calendar_widget a.fc-event-skin div {
background: url('../espresso-calendar/css/images/tick-circle-frame.png') no-repeat 6px -24px; !important }

.espresso_calendar_widget {
width: 100%;
width: 250px;
}

If that doesnt work for the ticks, try adding

.espresso_calendar_widget a.fc-event { top: 72px !important; }

as well.

Once the ticks are back the hover should come back too, at least for the event name.

This is only meant as a temporary fix, a developer will look into it in more detail.

Thanks for this Dean. I was having the same problem with the ticks disappearing. I tried your Custom CSS method but that didn’t work either (using Ultimatum Theme builder). But I managed to find the line in the theme CSS file. It seemed that the necessary line (635) was ‘commented’ out. I made it active and commented out the line underneath instead (636) and it worked fine.
.espresso_calendar_widget a.fc-event-skin div {
background: url('images/tick-circle-frame.png') no-repeat 6px -24px;/* add an image instead */
/*background: no-repeat 6px -24px;*/
}
I was having the same problem as Jonathan with the calendar disapearring off the edge, but will just adjust the widths, etc and it should be fine! Hopefully a developer update soon to keep everything consistent 😉
