Here are some things I’d like to do with EE4 that I’m hoping are just a matter of adding some CSS or changing some default settings:
a) make it the button bigger and bolder.
a) do the same things to the button as in #1, except there’s no need to change the “register now” language.
a) reduce the amount of space that comes after “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.”
a) change “Ticket Name and Description” to “Class Name.” It’s a lot, isn’t it? But I expect that it will make a really lengthy registration process more tolerable and positive for registrants. |

All of those changes you should be able to make through the text localization plugin and by overriding the CSS defaults. I put together an awesome tutorial on working with CSS in EE4 (if I do say so myself 🙂 |

Thanks, Sidney. I appreciate your “awesome tutorial.” But that’s a deeper, more hi-tech answer than I, a non-developer, am capable of achieving. What I’m looking for is simply what code to paste into “My Custom CSS” to achieve my goals, not dig down into the site’s coding. As an example, here’s what I was given by Event Espresso in the past for EE3 (that I know has no relevance for EE4, nor for my current needs):
So, if you can tell me how to achieve all of those tiny little adjustments, I’d appreciate it. ~ John |

I read a lot of discussions on your site last night, but could find nothing that helps. I did come across this page, however, that shows that what I want to do with buttons (the size and the color) is possible. I just need your help in getting there. |

Here’s what I’ve accomplished on my own. I’ve changed the wording of the buttons, using “Quick Localisation” (by Name.ly). I’ve also gotten rid of the word “tickets” and most everything ticket-related in the same way. I had a feeling that the button sizes, locations and colors might be somewhere in my theme, Dejavu (by MySiteMyWay), but I couldn’t find any controls for them there. I’m still hoping that someone from Event Espresso will jump in here pretty soon and help with that and the last few details: 2) d. |
Hi John, take a look at the feedback below. 2d) Go to an event in the event editor within your WP dashboard. Scroll down and go to the ticket options area. Click on the gear icon (advanced options) and then set the minimum to 1 and save changes to the event. Repeat this process for any other events that have a single ticket option. 2e) Your theme shows the post name (event name) in a H1 heading. This is then duplicated in the event area. This CSS will remove the h2 heading: /* Hide h2 heading on single event pages */ .espresso_events h2.post_title {display:none;} 3a) Your theme or another plugin is inserting some line breaks. This CSS will hide them and correct the spacing: #spco-registration-attendee_information-frm>br {display:none;} 3d) Add the sample code in the link below to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin: https://gist.github.com/lorenzocaum/c639e8102ea852517810 Remove the statement between the single quotes in the return part of the code. That is remove the following statement from the code: Replace me with new messaging or delete this entire statement to remove the messaging. That will tell Event Espresso to replace the existing text with an empty line. Thanks. — |

Two out of four of those worked. So back to the drawing board on the other two:
I tried this on only one event so far, but it didn’t work. I clicked on the Advanced Settings gear, typed 1 into the box, then clicked to Update. But when I went to the event, it still says 0. As for adding this for 3d):
I eliminated what you said and entered it into My Custom CSS, yet it had no effect. It still says:
So when you said to put it into “a site specific plugin,” does that mean a plugin like My Custom CSS, or is that something else altogether? |
Hi, My Custom CSS is a plugin for CSS which handles styling on your site. You’ll need to add it to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin. We have a tutorial for creating a site specific plugin here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/ — |

I achieved this by checking the “This ticket is required (will appear first in frontend ticket lists).” checkbox. (Although this will not only make 1 the default number, but remove 0, and add a text saying that this ticket is required..) |

Thank you, emarienborg. That extra step worked. |
Great! If you need help with anything else, just create a new support post. — |
