Help! Event bubbles blank after update

I give up. I’ll be restoring my pre-update website from backup tomorrow. Then I’ll investigate which plugin will be the best replacement for Gcal events.

P.S. I was encouraged to do the update by an email sent by Phil Derkson. When I sent a reply about the problems after update, he told me to put a post on this forum to get support. I’ve posted the problem twice and the so-called developer has replied on many posts before and after my posts, but has totally ignored my post. Some support!

I have agonized about whether to restore my website from backup (not 100% reliable according to support) or to try and fix the problem. After about 20 hours of studying about stylesheets and searching the net I have finally fixed the problem by changing the colour of the bubble or tooltip background. On the WordPress menu, went to Appearance -> Editor. I deleted the old gce code that was there. The I put in the following:

/* Tooltip background colour */
.qtip-content {
   background: #1e73be;
}

Note: I made a clone of my website and tried it out first.

Now I can at least read what’s in the bubble (tooltip). The bubbles look fine, but the calendar still looks crappy in grid view. The font for the event is small and the font colour is dull, and the colour of the day headings does not suit our website theme in either dark or light, but at least it’s somewhat readable. Have no idea how to fix this and I’m too exhausted to try.

If you are looking at this post trying to decide whether to update to this version, my advice is DON’T DO IT unless you are an expert web programmer and are getting paid.

The default values for things like that are coming from your theme. The CSS is designed to try and grab styles already being used in your theme so that it matches better.

The problem is that it looked better before the upgrade. It had a nice grid around the calendar days, a more legible font in a better colour and the tooltips showed up with dark grey text on white. I believe this was set in the style.css, which I finally found, but those settings no longer apply. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to customize the new calendar app to get it back the way it was.
