https://eventespresso.com/topic/mobile-calendar-view/

I have seen a couple of posts addressing this, but the response seems to be that it will be too small to read. The only reason we bought this plug in was because it looked good on mobile with the text showing. All you have to do is zoom in and it looks fine. Please provide specific instructions on how to activate the text on a mobile phone.

I tried the css instructions on this old thread (https://eventespresso.com/topic/mobile-issue-no-text-when-viewing-in-mobile-devices/) but it does not seem to work as when you try and edit that css thru wordpress it donates it as inactive. Please advise on how to make this calendar text show up on mobile.

Thank you

Hi there,

The code in the previous thread is still valid.

…when you try and edit that css thru wordpress it donates it as inactive.

I’m not sure I undersntad what you mean here, how are you adding that code?

We recommend using either the My Custom CSS or Reaktiv CSS Builder plugins to add custom styles such as these.

It works, sort of, just not what we are looking for. Here is what it looks like…

And here is Expresso on mobile that we are trying to accomplish

I have searched your menus for mobile options but cant find any. Is there a way to accomplish this without hiring a css coder?

May I ask what are the screen dimensions of that second screenshot? The reason I ask is because that calendar looks kind of big to fit on a small screen. The thing about mobile devices is their screen sizes can vary, and Event Espresso will only show the text if the screen size allows. If the mobile screen is large enough, the text will display.

Both of the screenshots were taken off my iphone se, I just cropped out the business names in photoshop. Is there a way to send you the direct link without it being public?

It’s not necessary. I know where to find the site from the second screenshot, and they’re not doing anything custom to make the calendar text display differently. The way the theme renders the calendar seems to make the difference there.

What you may want to try is use the same theme that {insert name of site that no one should ever know about here} site uses, which is the Canvas theme from Woothemes. Then you set the calendar page to use a full page template.

Thank you very much for the info, but can you please edit that name out of your last post, that was the point of not wanting to post it public.
