I will start with my event espresso events are showing as a link in my menu and not a page. On my site page it says archived:events, and I cannot get rid of the archive part. Then the events list with a huge gap in between. And finally my calendar and registration buttons are not matching the flow of the rest of the pages.

Hi there,

I can help you with the archive and spacing part, that’s something that can be changed by making a few tweaks to your WordPress theme. Can you post a link to the website or a link to where we can download the WordPress theme so we can take a look?

I can also look into the “it’s a link and not a page” issue, but we’ll need more information to even know what that means.

Good aafternoon Josh,

Under my menu in wordpress it is listed as a link, not a page so I am having trouble figuring out how to adjust things.

May I ask what is listed as a link? What are you trying to adjust?

Would you prefer a CSS fix or a PHP fix for that Archives: issue?

Actually, most of what you’re looking to do will be done with CSS, since the theme is setting some strange height values for any markup that involves a
header element. So here’s your CSS fix you can add to a custom stylesheet:

.post-type-archive-espresso_events .page-header {
display:none;
}

.post-type-archive-espresso_events .entry-header {
height:auto;
}

I will give it a try, will it fix the archive as well?

It will hide that header, which has the Archives label.

OK Josh I am completely new to doing this and I do not want to mess up anything. So after I right click and get the css open on the page. Do I put the lines you sent me around anything that says header?

Hello,

The CSS that Josh shared (https://eventespresso.com/topic/getting-started-issues/#post-218645) will change the styling. It just needs to be added to your WordPress site.

If your theme has a Custom CSS area built-in, then you can add it there through your WP dashboard and save changes.

Otherwise, you could use a free plugin that adds an additional stylesheet to your WordPress site such as Simple Custom CSS or Reaktiv CSS Builder.

You can then go back to your site and refresh the page to see the new changes.
