list categories of an event, with #_CATEGORYCOLORS ?

    I’m trying to add a color to each category name across the site, and I got the calendar events and basic category list working using:

    <li><span class="category-color" style="background-color: #_CATEGORYCOLOR ">#_CATEGORYLINK</span></li>

    But am unable to figure out how to add that markup around the categories list on my event single pages. I have looked through the documentation on the plugin site and the Help page in the plugin itself but can’t find any way to list out single categories so that I can put a span with #_CATEGORYCOLOR around each one.

    So far it seems the only way to list categories for a specific event is:
    #_CATEGORIES
    which outputs:

    <ul class="event-categories">
<li>
<a href="mylink">mycategorytitle</a>
</li>
<ul>

    is there a way to add the span around each of these list items?

    Can you repost your code using the code button – I think the original got mangled by the forum. Thanks.

    sorry! this is the code that works for my general category listings:

    <li>
<span class="category-color" style="background-color: #_CATEGORYCOLOR ">#_CATEGORYLINK</span>
</li>

    That should work. If you remove the

    class="category-color"

    part does it work? It could be the category color is being overwritten by something else in your stylesheet.

    no, the first example does work, but only for listing out all categories.

    I’m asking how to list out a single event’s categories on its single event page; and be able to customize each category link output in that list so I can assign it a background color.

    The only way I can see to list out all categories associated with a single event is by using #_CATEGORIES but that outputs a full unordered list that I can’t customize.

    you need to modify template file at events-manager > templates > placeholders > categories.php
