 * Hi folks,
 * I have been trying to troubleshoot this for a bit now and am having no luck. 
   Basically I need to change the background color on the “Read more” button on 
   the events page of this website.
 * I followed the directions on [https://support.theeventscalendar.com/153124-Themers-Guide#customizingstyles](https://support.theeventscalendar.com/153124-Themers-Guide#customizingstyles).
   This is the CSS I added:
 *     ```
       .tribe-events-read-more {
           background-color: #29384f;
       }
       ```
   
 * I placed it in a folder called “tribe-events” in my theme’s directory. Not sure
   what I’m doing wrong here. I also checked the Customize options and no luck there.
   Any thoughts on how to fix this?
 * Thank you in advance!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchanging-button-color-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@julies12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julies12/)
    !important should
   do the trick.
 * I did not make any changes in a theme folder for this plugin yet, but try to 
   place it in custom css in customizer, that should do. Like this:
 *     ```
       .tribe-events-read-more {
           background-color: #29384f!important;
       }
       ```
