Overlapping content in list view

    Hi. I’m using the Vertex theme for my WordPress site and I’m having issues with the event content overlapping on the list view display. More specifically, all of the descriptions are overlapping and displaying on just one line creating a garbled mess as you can see on this page http://dc.americanfirefighters-mc.org/events/ . As you can see, the links to “Find Out More” and “Previous Events” are also overlapping each other. If you click on an event to see the details, you can see that the description and the link to go to the previous event (at the bottom) are also overlapping (e.g. http://dc.americanfirefighters-mc.org/event/9-11-thirteenth-anniversary/). I don’t have a current example, but if I add images (i.e. a flyer) to an event, it displays underneath everything else that is on the page (not below, but underneath). I’ve tried modifying the code in my theme’s style.css to no avail. I must not be correcting the right styles. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks!

    Hi amac1974,

    I’m sorry you’re having trouble. As outlined in our forum guidelines, we unfortunately just can’t help with conflicts like this here on the free support forum. Here are some resources that might be helpful for you:

    ▪ Themer’s Guide
    ▪ Tutorials
    ▪ Technical Docs

    You also might want to get in touch with the theme developer and see if they can shed some light on the issue.

    Good luck!

    I have to say it’s disappointing because although I wouldn’t mind upgrading to the pro version, I have a hard time paying for something that I can’t be sure will even work properly for my site. The free version has so many conflicts/issues that I’m unable to properly try it out. Besides the free version, do you have a free trial for the pro version? Or if I pay for it and find that I’m unable to get the issues fixed, does your company offer refunds?

    Basically, the problem is that TEC adds a class “.description” to each event, and it is conflicting with your theme:

    .description { position: absolute; content: “”; bottom: 0; left: 0; }

    You can fix by removing the absolute position. (Custom CSS, or edit style.css of the theme)

    TEC could fix by using less generic style classes in this case.
    single-event.php:

    <div class=”tribe-events-list-event-description tribe-events-content description entry-summary”>

    Hi amac1974,

    We do our best to make our plugin as compatible as possible, but of course conflicts with themes or other plugins do come up. I’m sorry that you’re running into issues. If any of them are inherent to TEC we’d definitely like to hear about them.

    We do not have a trial version of the PRO plugin. Generally if you are experiencing conflicts they will also be an issue with PRO running, so it’s best to resolve those before going PRO. We do offer refunds within 30 days. Also, we’ll do our best to point you in the right direction to fix conflicts via our premium support forums. Hopefully Levrini’s idea above will help you out.

    Best,
    Leah

    Howdy Levrini,

    Thanks for helping amac there. I just wanted to let you know that we use the description class in order to support microformats. It is a necessary evil I am afraid. Hence why you see both the lengthy tribe-events-list-event-description and the generic description assigned to the same element.

    Cheers!

    – Brook
