Edit Event page template question

Good evening @saz25

Thank you for reaching out.

The two first places to tweak the appearance of your calendar are:

1. Using the WordPress customizer
2. Trying a different page template under Events > Settings > Template

But that’s just the beginning. Check out our awesome guide: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/guide/customization/#customizing-styles

Hopefully, this helps!

Best,
Geoff

Hi
Thanks for the reply.

When I look at my available Event templates I see this:
Default Events Template
Default Page Template
Elementor Canvas
Elementor Full Width
Theme

For example, it shows “Theme”, but doens’t say which if my theme templates its choosing.

Where are these templates for example?

thanks again
Steve

Hi @saz25

The Default Events Template and Default Page Template were created by our plugin. The other three are templates created by your theme/Elementor.

Try playing around with which one gives you the closest to the appearance that you’re looking for and then you can customize it from there.

I hope that helps!

Thanks,
Jaime

Where do I locate those page templates created by your plugin so I can edit them?

Thanks

Hi,
I am still confused about this. For example this page uses a template called “Default Template”:
https://cancareatlanta.org/cancare-atlanta-newsletter/

I can edit that page add the header backgroud image that you see.

Wht can’t I edit this page such that it has the same header, menus, backgeround header image, etc?
https://cancareatlanta.org/events/

What am I missing?

Thanks
Steve

I made some progress as I was able to change the backdrop, but I want the header color before the backdrop to be the same as the backdrop color.

Now my issue is how do I change the header color before the backdrop appears?

Look at these pages and you see blue. Then as you scroll you see a semi-transparent light brown back drop.
How do I make the original header background the same color as the backdrop?

The is the main Event page:
https://cancareatlanta.org/events/

This is one of the specific events:
https://cancareatlanta.org/event/anniversary-event/

I was able to change the specific events pages because I have control of those event page. But I don’t have detailed control of the main event page except for the Events-> Settings->Display->Template choice.

thanks I think we are making progress.
Much appreciated.`

Hi @saz25

Glad to hear that you’ve been able to make some progress!

For other color changes, you can use the WordPress Customizer.
https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/wordpress-customizer-2/

If you don’t see those changes available there, you can inspect the elements and change the CSS using Google Chrome Developer Tools.

I hope that helps!
