Hi there, I’d like to color code the event header banners on the event listing page with a different color for each category: http://yogasurfingretreats.com/wptest/wordpress/event-registration/ I know this has been addressed for the calendar, so wondering if there’s a similar way to customize the headers on the event listing page? Cheers, Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,

It’s possible. In order to get the needed category classname CSS “hooks”, you’d set up the event list page like this:
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”first-category”]
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”second-category”]
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”third-category”]

Then add something like this CSS to the theme’s stylesheet or other location where you place custom CSS:

div.first-category h3.ui-widget-header {background: red;}

div.second-category h3.ui-widget-header {background: green;}

div.third-category h3.ui-widget-header {background: yellow;}

Hi Josh,

I have implemented this but now the events appear out of date order:
http://yogasurfingretreats.com/wptest/wordpress/event-registration/

If I use [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] for events-registration page. It will auto sort by date but not auto colour for banner.

If we use
[[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”first-category”]
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”second-category”]
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”third-category”]

It will create colours for the categories but list the events by category, not by date.
??

That’s correct. Grouping the events by category will allow you to add colors to the header of each listing, but it will order them by each category.

Is there any way to colour code the banners AND sort by date?
