    I would like to add text to the top of my “events” page (http://www.reachstudioart.org/events) Where does the page exist? I don’t see it in “pages” or in “posts”

    Hi there Alice,

    One method to add some text is to create a new WordPress page called “Art Events” and then add the following shortcode to that page:

    [ESPRESSO_EVENTS]

    Then you could add your text above the shortcode above and publish the page. This page would become you new events page that you can add to your website navigation.

    The old events page would remain as is.

    Also, there are some options available for the shortcode above in WP-admin –> Event Espresso –> Help & Support.

      That worked (http://www.reachstudioart.org/classregistration/), but I wish it looked more like the original events page, the titles and the formatting on the description is gone. It is very hard to read, can I fix that?

      Thank you!

      Hi Alice,

      With out move towards integrating Event Espresso further into WordPress, we are now using Custom Post Types.

      This means that the events are now treated in a very similar way to a standard post, with the /events/ being a post archive.

      As such the way you would change the look is through CSS.

      As an example if I added this code to the themes style.css or a plugin like My Custom CSS I would end up with each event having a grey background and a dark grey border

      .espresso_events {
      background-color: #eee;
      padding: 20px;
      border: #999 thin solid;
      }

      Of course, my design skills are lacking, but that is one way you can easily modify the look of the event posts.
