Colors erased when I change settings in The Events Calendar

    Hi, After I set up colors for my 5 categories plus Featured, the colors show up on events in the calendar views. If I change the page template for The Events Calendar or enable the updated designs then look at the calendar, all the colors are erased except on my one hidden category and on the Featured category.
    It is a pain to have to set up all those colors again for borders and backgrounds.

    I see colors.

    Yes, I reprogrammed all the colors 4 times today and left it alone after the last time. Now, OF COURSE, I can’t make them disappear again despite changing all the settings I was working with earlier today. Even deactivating and reactivating the Category Colors plugin didn’t make it forget its colors.
    Sorry for that. I should have left it in its colorless state for you.
    I’ll keep a close eye on it tomorrow and update if it erases again. If the issue doesn’t return, I’ll mark this as resolved.
    Thanks for looking at it.

    The issue has not returned. I must have had a conflict with a different plugin.

    I found it! If you edit the name of a category, the color settings become unset so the events and legend lose their color for that category. If you change the category name back to what it was before, the color comes back. It would be friendlier if the color stayed set when the name changes (the category_id is still the same).
    Thanks,

    Kathy, the categories are tied to the category slug not the category_id. If you change the category name just go back to the Settings page and update the color settings for the new category name.
