I want to customize the widget, change color, font size, spacing etc.. and I found this link https://eventespresso.com/wiki/customizing-your-upcoming-events-widget-using-css-and-template-files/ but the file that needs to be edited when I opened it it says “/DEPRECATED-DONT-USE/” and I cant find anything that link tries to show.
Any help will be appreciated, Thanks

Hi Chris,

Firstly apologies that the document is out of date and thanks for bringing it to my attention, I will get that document re-written.

The default css file is in the templates/css directory and called espresso_default.css.

This can be copied over to uploads/espresso/templates/css/

You should also be able to add styles into the themes style.css if needed, as the widget uses fairly standard widget classes.

Any ideas on how I can change the colors, space it out a bit so is not all together and maybe change the font size? Or how long will it take to re-write the document?

Hi Chris,

The documentation wont be written for a shortwhile.

The widget has very simple CSS

The overall container has these ids/classes: #events-widget-2 .widget .events

The h3 (title) has the default class of: .widget-title

The items listed are just links ( tags) inside paragraphs (

<

p> tags)

As such it is just a case of adding css to over rule whatever your theme has set those.

e.g.

 #events-widget-2 p { padding-top: 10px; }

will add some space to the top of each event listed.

You can find more information about css here http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp

Hope that helps.
