Hi there,
Could you tell me where Event Espresso picks up the colour for on the words Price and Quantity on the ticket selector please? I want to change the colour so that it’s more visible. If there is a code snippet to do that, that would be great.

I also need to change the background colour on the payment pages so that my text shows up. I’ve managed to change the course listing and individual course page backgrounds with this code but it doesn’t work once you click the Register now button:
.single-espresso_events #main-content, .single-espresso_events .et_pb_section {
background-color: #9c323d;
}
Here is the link to the payment page (and those following it) that I need to change:

Hi there

Could you tell me where Event Espresso picks up the colour for on the words Price and Quantity on the ticket selector please?

It will usually use your themes styles – http://take.ms/e6Wqv

The easiest method to fix that is to override the styles where needed, so for example those two shown above you can use:

.tkt-slctr-tbl .ee-ticket-selector-ticket-price-th, 
.tkt-slctr-tbl .ee-ticket-selector-ticket-qty-th {
    color: #fff9eb;
}

For this:

.single-espresso_events #main-content, .single-espresso_events .et_pb_section {
background-color: #9c323d;
}

You also need to target the ‘Registration checkout’ page, you can do that with:

.page-id-610 #main-content

So it becomes:

.single-espresso_events #main-content,
.single-espresso_events .et_pb_section,
.page-id-610 #main-content {
background-color: #9c323d;
}

5. Event payment details email
This email received by the Admin (I signed myself up for a test course so i am the Admin and the customer in the following questions) is coming through with random spacing in the wording and some code showing at the bottom. What can I do about this?

We can’t view those pages as they use your session to output the details, I registered onto an event to view the output.

The grey text is coming from your theme, are you not using tables within other areas of the site that need grey headers? If not you can use:

.entry-content tr th, .entry-content thead th, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container tr th, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container thead th {
    color: white;
}

That’s the CSS from your theme that is changing most of the text to grey, only you will be setting it to white.

3. Thank You page
How do I change the background colour of this page and also any grey text?

The page has an ID of 612, so you can add .page-id-612 #main-content to the selectors from your above CSS.

4. Order Confirmation Pdf
How can I remove switch to Invoice button as we are not using the Invoice option?

You need to remove that from within the ‘Receipt’ message template.

Go to Event Espresso -> Messages -> Default message templates (tab) -> Receipt.

Edit the template and you will find the [INVOICE_RECEIPT_SWITCHER_BUTTON] shortcode at the top of the template – http://take.ms/8iG7G

Remove that and save the template to remove the switcher button.

5. Event payment details email
This email received by the Admin (I signed myself up for a test course so i am the Admin and the customer in the following questions) is coming through with random spacing in the wording and some code showing at the bottom. What can I do about this?

It sounds like your emails are either being marked as spam, or your hosts mail server is causing problems with the emails.

I would recommend using a transactions email service:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/postmark-app-mandrill-transactional-email-handling-services/

It helps rule out any issues with your hosts mail server and usually provides much better reporting you can use.

Thanks again Tony. I’ve implemented everything you suggested and it’s all looking good.
There is just a bit of grey text on both Registration Checkout pages that isn’t being picked up by the code you gave me. I don’t know where this grey is coming from as there isn’t anything anywhere on the site using that colour. I’ve tried to look in to code but can’t find how to target these last bits.
If you could help that would be great.

many thanks
Faith

Sorry to say that now I added the custom link to the menu so I can see the full events list, the background on that one isn’t working. I am using this code to target the background colour of all the pages we’ve mentioned.
.single-espresso_events #main-content,
.single-espresso_events .et_pb_section,
.page-id-610 #main-content,
.page-id-612 #main-content {
background-color: #9c323d;
}

But the events list looks like this:http://wellmama.wales/book-a-course/

please can you help as I’ve had to leave this page live so you can see it.

Have you already fixed the event list? The background is already set to red.

There is just a bit of grey text on both Registration Checkout pages that isn’t being picked up by the code you gave me. I don’t know where this grey is coming from as there isn’t anything anywhere on the site using that colour. I’ve tried to look in to code but can’t find how to target these last bits.

The bar at the bottom is because the page content is loading less than the height of your left sidebar (the header), its an issue with how the theme loads the page.

Just this second fixed the background colour with some code I found on another event-epresso using site that i did ages ago. Was just about to write to you to say ignore that bit of my question!

They grey text on the registration page is this:
In order to process your registration, we ask you to provide the following information.
Please note that all fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

And on the next page after clicking proceed to payment options, it’s the word
Registrations:
which is grey.

my problem isn’t to do with a bar at the bottom (not sure what you mean with this!)
thanks

They grey text on the registration page is this:
In order to process your registration, we ask you to provide the following information.
Please note that all fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

I’ll show you how you can find the classes for these so you know how to fix them.

Using Chrome right click on the text that is grey and click ‘Inspect element’ – http://take.ms/IFkoc

That brings up the dev tools that you can see just behind that popup and selects the elemt your looking to target.

You can see that text is wrapped in a p tag with the ID of ‘spco-attendee_information-pg’ – http://take.ms/fDueF

So then you know you can use that ID for your css. You can test it within dev tools – http://take.ms/VnktL

You often need to change the selector to fit better than the automated one, but the above will allow you to target any element you need.

So in this example the CSS is:

#spco-attendee_information-pg {
    color: #fff;
}

Then for registrations do the same – http://take.ms/nmiVN

Note the span has a generic class, we don’t want to use that, so we look for something a little more specific, the H4 id should work fine:

#reg-page-totals-hdr {
color: #fff;
}

Oh my goodness – this is a life changing moment. You’ve taught be how Chrome developer tool works and it all makes sense! Can’t thank you enough, really. Feels like the world is my oyster.
I really do appreciate your help, not just to customise these pages, but to take time to teach me why it works.
Not sure if you are the boss – but if not and you want a good testimonial, tell me who to write to…

thanks again.
