Hi! Wow, what a review, thanks for the kind words, very much appreciated ??

We hope all the upcoming updates will serve you well!

Hi! Sorry for the upgrade issues, but yes there’s a toggle: Settings > Advanced Styling > Use Themes > Enable Theme Styling?

There is a –theme-hue variable which should fix that, but generally removing that theme styling will get rid of the pixelbones class entirely.

You can also get rid of that class in certain parts like the events list in the same settings place, choose ‘Basic Only’

Hello, could you provide a link to the Pro forum thread, so I can understand the issue further? I may remember this issue, it is I believe in a dev version and an update is very soon to come which would include this fix.

That said, the pro forums is the place to ask as this is a Pro feature. We can’t provide support for pro features here, .org rules, not ours. Get in touch directly if you don’t have an active license for support and we’ll see what we can do.

Hi Sam, try out our new native calendar in v6, released a couple days ago. It has a search bar with more functionality and major aesthetic improvements.

Hello,

Any of those var() can be changed like so:

body .em { 
  --accent-color: red;
}

You can add this via the WP Customizer > Additional CSS

We’ll look into adding a color picker in the future to modify that base color.

Hi! We’ve enabled AJAX by default, add this to your wp-config.php to disable it:

define('EM_AJAX', false);

We’re going to address the issue of multiple items in a page with pagination and custom styling. It’s not safe to use AJAX this way with custom formats but we have som ideas for that.

You should be able to modify the search form contents with our setting page, also shortcodes will allow flexibility too.

Hi, we do have some options in the plugin already that enables you to disable theming, but we’ve just released 6.0.1 which gives more flexibility.

Check the Settings > General > Styling Options section, you’d want to disable all theming if your end goal is to get rid of that em class.

Hi David, thanks for the feedback, we’ll look into that. The search bar is responsive, but we can probably make it better when it’s that narrow.

That said, I’m not sure about the last two issues, but I’ll double-check it regardless.

If you have further screenshots from the google console, that’d be helpful! You could also reach out via the wp slack to send those over

@just4me67, @alfredo49, @stetson79 regarding !important;
I agree that it’s not good practice, however the authors of that concept don’t write plugins that run on thousands of themes that can do whatever they want. Getting a consistent look is very difficult, especially because many themes add generic styles with strong specificities we can’t control, such as:

#somethemeid .wp-content div { margin-bottom: 10px; }

Something like that makes it impossible for us to have something like this:

.em-calendar { margin-bottom: 10px; }

This wasn’t a decision we came to lightly, but the trade-off I believe is worth it in terms of compatibility generally. Also, you can now always disable our most generic !important theming via our settings page, use our CSS vars for certain overridden themes or simply override our !important styles with your own !important styles.

@thisbit
The JS issue please raise in another thread, we can look into it. Generally speaking, you will need JS for the full experience. However, we’ve tried to make it fall back to native ‘month’ pickers but some browsers still don’t support these.

@aprilschmitt27
You can still modify formats a always, but I’d be interested to know how it eats up real estate. Regarding indicators on a calendar, that sounds like maybe a CSS issue but I’d need to see it in action. @ ping me on a new thread about these.

@savoierider
I sort of addressed this in my previous reply. We had to break with some old classes because they were antiquatedly named and made some of the old CSS we left for bakcompatibility break our new styles.
That said, you always have the ‘nuke’ option which is to copy all the template files from the older EM version and override them (now you can also in wp-content/plugin-templates/events-manager)

@henningstummer
I’ll take the blame here ?? The font probably shouldn’t have stayed, at least not for new updates. It was always easy to override with a line of CSS in your Customzer > Additional CSS, but by default I agree that shouldnt’ be necessary. 6.0.1 will revert any upgrades to the theme default via ‘inherit’ and new installs will get the new font with the option to use the theme font.

END OF REPLIES!

On a note to @everyone here, I understand a sudden switch is hard… especially if you’ve spent time tweaking the old unstyled plugin into what you’d like on your site. I do hope, however, you give the new templates a try, we have a preview mode you could use, or give it a spin on a staging site. Some aspects you may want to change of course, that’s why we have formatting, templates, hoooks etc. and that’ll never change, but we hope there’s a good baseline for a prettier events plugin!

Hi Everyone, thanks for your patience.

First things first, we’ve just released an update with lots of improvements in terms of flexibility for styling and formatting. Some highlights:

1. Advanced Modes – The usual ability to define formats in your settings page, but now you can disable this for some components and enable for others, so our default ph formats get loaded. Inversely, you can choose to load them all dynamically, or use only the settings page!

2. All these overridable formats can now also be reset individually to load the default format from our files. Helpful if you want to check out the changes (click the little undo icon next to each setting, settings aren’t saved until you click save).

3. Advanced Styling Options – The dev version introduced the ability to enable our styling in tiers, but now you can also choose to prevent a few font-related settings from taking over.

4. New template folder location – Aside from the theme, you can also upload your template files now to wp-contents/plugin-templates/events-manager/ – allowing theme-independent modifications.

Whilst not a 100% solution for anyone that made lots of customizations to EM, I’m hoping between this and our flexibility which has always been there in terms of hooks and templating there’s a way to get up and running with v6 using your old designs and migrating to new ones (or our new structures).

Generally speaking, most CSS classes were preserved, but we had to cut some ties with oddly named classes etc. to provide consistency and move onto modernizing the plugin.

I completely understand that when updating a plugin, you expect things to keep working. I use plugins too, and updating can be painful in times like this! That said, I also hope you can appreciate that these changes were necessary in order to enable us to make more improvements to the plugin at a foundational level.

We will inevitably still be making some changes, particularly to the booking forms and admin areas. However now with the base classes already in place it should be more consistent and less abrupt than this update.

I’ll end this reply now and address individual comments in a following reply.

@alexandraka I’d suggest creating a new thread for exactly that reason. This reported bug is fixed in the latest update, so this topic should ideally be closed to further replies.

If you’re still experiencing it, it’s possible you overrode our calendar template, my previous suggestion tells you to check/remedy that.

hello, v5.10 was just released which should fix the issue, let us know if not!

Hello, this has been fixed in the latest 5.10 update

Hello, just following up to let you know it’s fixed in 5.10
