Stop theme over-riding CSS and allow layout changes

Hi,

Event Espresso is using elements of my own theme in its pages. I’ve tried everything I can to stop this – editing my child theme, moving the Aribiato theme to my child theme but nothing seems to work.

I want to be able to make changes to the layout. My theme also has a custom CSS function but that doesn’t make any difference either.

How can I make sure EE uses its own CSS?

Hi, just an update in this. I finally managed to get EE and the child theme to talk to each other so I can now make changes to the physical layout of the event page.

I still can’t change the styling on some elements as its been over-ridden by the main theme. Also, my sidebar isn’t displaying correctly. There is no padding on the right side. This only happens on the event page.

Hello,

We can help you get setup with some more specific CSS to adjust the styling.

Could you share some examples of the areas that you are wanting to change including a link to the specific page?

Thanks!


Lorenzo

So this is a page that I have inserted a short code into.

https://www.revolutionlearning.co.uk/testee/

After hours of working at it I’ve finally managed to figure our building a child theme that works with EE. The normal events pages (example at https://www.revolutionlearning.co.uk/open-course/leadership-skills-course-liverpool/) I can change the text size at least by wrapping the div in a span, but this isn’t the right way to do it.

On the first page I provided, the price and quantity are using EE CSS, but the description is from my own CSS. Also the table it sits in is from my own CSS. These are an example of the elements I’d like to control without affecting the rest of the theme.

Hope that helps
