Hi Fred,

How are you today?

This will help you understand that you can create category-specific calendars: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/calendar/

Hi Fred,

Can I asked which version of the Calendar you currently have installed?

The latest version allows you to set Category and/or Venue filters to view only events within those selections. For example: http://take.ms/SRwGi

If you have the latest version (Currently v2.2.2) you’ll need to go to Event Espresso -> Calendar Settings. Set ‘Enable Filters in Calendar’ to Yes and save the settings.

That should then display the filters as shown in the Screenshot.

Does that help?

Hi Fred,

There have been some significant changes to the Calendar settings since 2.1.1.BETA

Firstly I would recommend backing up the site (both the files and database) as its good practice before updating/modifying ANY plugins. We have a guide posted here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-back-up-your-site/

You should just be able to update the Calendar although you may need to reset the Calendar settings (Event Espresso -> Calendar Settings. Check ‘Reset Settings’ and Save) then setup the defaults for how you would like the Calendar to display.

It is always advisable to test updates locally first just to be sure of any unexpected results.

Hi,

Unfortunately not. There isn’t a way to filter by venue before the calendar is loaded. The drop down filter, uses JavaScript and AJAX to filter the calendar dynamically, which basically means the action of selecting from the dropdown needs to occur.

Hi,

Ok, I’m guessing a header-type menu drop-down would be the same? No go?

The only filter available is what you see. You could probably move it or create one but that would require JavaScript knowledge and customising a core file.

Is there a way to stylize the venue selector to be more visible on the calendar?

Of course, via CSS, targeting the #ee-venue-submit CSS ID.

Also, can I remove the category selector on the calendar? (I feel this is just going to confuse our customers.)

Sure, add the following CSS to your themes style.css or better yet use a plugin such as My Custom CSS

#ee-category-submit {
display: none;
}

And lastly, can I stylize the “Month Name”, so it is larger, bolder, etc? After the update is has become nearly invisible.

Sure, use some CSS such as this

.fc-header-title {
font-size: 26px;
}

bear in mind if you make the font as big as in the example, it will push the Month/week/day buttons over. So you may want to restrict the font size r consider removing those buttons (See the Calendar Options page).
