 * I have the latest version of the Events Calendar, but my events list widget is
   having some issues. The spacing is totally off and cutting out part of the text.
   I have the Old Paper WordPress theme, I’m wondering if this theme is simply not
   compatible with the widget. Our website is [http://www.bigredbeerwagon.org](http://www.bigredbeerwagon.org).
   The event list is in the sidebar.
    Any help would be great! Thanks, Big Red Beer
   Wagon

 * Hi Big Red Beer Wagon,
 * First of all, your name is glorious.
 * Second of all, your suspicions about your theme being at fault here are correct.
   Well, not necessarily “at fault” – things aren’t broken or bad, your theme is
   just forcing its default list styles onto the widget.
 * Unfortunately the only way around this is to write custom CSS to style the widget
   how you’d like it. For a quick example, just the following CSS alone at the bottom
   of your theme’s _style.css_ file should undo the excessive padding that you mentioned
   in your post:
 *     ```
       .tribe-events-list-widget ol {
           padding: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * For further tweaks, I’d highly recommend checking out a tool like [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/)
   if you use FireFox, or the Developer Tools for either [Safari](http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/)
   or [Chrome](http://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/overview).
   They’re all free, and all come with “Inspector” tools that let you zoom right
   in on the page element you want to change, making it much easier to customize
   the styles of things.
 * I hope that helps!
 * Cheers,
    George
