Modify EE3 templates

Hi guys,

I tried to modify the style of my template by creating a Themeroller custom template. I can select this custom template when I go to template settings > theme roller style but it seems to be overwritten by another css sheet. The page is: http://www.homeopera.net/event-registration

Does anybody know how to make this work?

Thanks,
Ale

Hi there,

I checked your site and it turns out that the Yikes Inc Mailchimp extender plugin is adding its own jQuery themeroller stylesheet. Can you try deactivating that plugin temporarily to see if that changes things?

Hi Josh,

You are right! It works now. Any chance to get the plugin works together with EE?

Also, the new stylesheet applies to the event page but not the first one where all events are listed. Where shall I upload the new stylesheet to modify also this page?

Many thanks a lot for your help (moreover because I’m not a coder 😉

Best,
Ale

Hi,

MailChimp is a popular email marketing service so there are several plugins available for embedding your sign up form on a WordPress page.

Take a look at these:

ok thanks. And do you know why the stylesheet doesn’t apply to the event list?

Hi, I just took a look at the styling for the event listing page and a single event page and both appear to be a grey color. Could you reactivate the themeroller option for Event Espresso only if it was turned off?

Done. Shall I move the stylesheet somewhere else or is this due to a conflit with a plugin?

Hi,

On the event list page, the custom CSS is loading and then the Yikes plugin CSS is loading after it. Because of this load order, the Yikes CSS takes priority.

The easiest resolution would be to swap to a Mail Chimp plugin that doesn’t use theme roller styles.

Other than that you would have to hack at either plugins code to try and change the load order, but it will be a messy hack most likely and something I wouldn’t really recommend.

Or you could dequeue the Yikes mailchimp plugin’s styles for the Event Espresso pages.
