Hopefully if I’m able to generate a profit off of my site, I’ll be able to repay you for the fantastic support. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar: Category Colors] Category colors for other views?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/) * Thread Starter [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/) * (@capitolgrapevine) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/page/3/#post-9051117) * Odd – I pasted those filters at the end of the functions.php file under the Avada theme. The snippets I inserted right above that code seems to be executing fine, not sure why this isn’t. * Edit: Just saw your new post. I’ll try out both of those suggestions. - This reply was modified 9 years ago by [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/). - This reply was modified 9 years ago by [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar: Category Colors] Category colors for other views?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/) * Thread Starter [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/) * (@capitolgrapevine) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/page/3/#post-9050910) * Hmm, inserted the code into my functions.php file but I don’t see any changes in the list view. * Not sure what’s going on with the week view, according to both my theme and Avada options, it looks like the background should already be set to white. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar: Category Colors] Category colors for other views?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/) * Thread Starter [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/) * (@capitolgrapevine) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/page/2/#post-9024955) * Great – really appreciate all of the support you’ve provided. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar: Category Colors] Category colors for other views?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/) * Thread Starter [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/) * (@capitolgrapevine) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/page/2/#post-9023658) * Did the steps above: * Week view looks good, although there is no event transparency (assuming that’s something you’d patched.) * List view is still being overridden by some other CSS. All of the events have the same color heading, which I believe is tied to the WordPress customizer “ Calendar Highlight Color” setting. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar: Category Colors] Category colors for other views?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/) * Thread Starter [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/) * (@capitolgrapevine) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/page/2/#post-9023316) * Still not seeing any changes.

The only options I see under Category Colors are _deactivate_ and _edit_. * The destination folder error came up when I tried to use the “install plugin” feature on the GitHub Updater settings page.

I’ve enabled branch switching but I don’t see any options to switch to the ‘develop’ branch on my WordPress plugins page. * I assume this is because I didn’t install Category Colors through the GitHub Updater (I kept running into a “destination folder already exists” error.) Does this mean I have to uninstall Category Colors from WordPress and then reinstall it through the Updater? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar: Category Colors] Category colors for other views?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/) * Thread Starter [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/) * (@capitolgrapevine) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/#post-9002034) * I’ve been thinking about potential workarounds. I’m fairly inexperienced with coding so I apologize if this is a dumb question: * Would it be possible to add some sort of opacity property to the background color portions of category.css.php? Or potentially something using the opacity settings contained in rgba colors? - This reply was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar: Category Colors] Category colors for other views?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/) * Thread Starter [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/) * (@capitolgrapevine) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/#post-8997035) * Sorry for the delayed reply. * I found a workaround for the week view at least. The Category Colors were being overridden by the WordPress customizer, so I disabled that using: * add_filter( ‘tribe_events_pro_customizer_css_template’, ‘__return_empty_string’); * Unfortunately the week view now displays the correct colors, but it’s hard to see overlapping events because the category colors aren’t transparent anymore. * Any idea how I can add transparent colors to the week view? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar: Category Colors] Category colors for other views?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/) * Thread Starter [Capitol Grapevine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capitolgrapevine/) * (@capitolgrapevine) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-colors-for-other-views/#post-8930434) * I finally had a chance to poke around but I’m still not seeing anything that could cause a potential override. * However, I did notice that the “body” of the events in my [week view](http://www.capitolgrapevine.com/events/week/) are set to the “Calendar Highlight Color” setting in the general WordPress customizer for The Events Calendar, while the tooltip reflects the colors I’ve assigned to each category through your plugin.

I don’t think I have any template overrides in place but I’ll poke around and see what I can find.
