Thanks Marcus. Putting new selectors in my theme css file worked.

Yes you do have selectors for event-form.

Where are the selectors for the event list? Where are these:

class=”events-table” or th class=”event-description”

They are not in events_manager.css and when I try adding these class selectors to this style sheet, they are ignored. Apparently the formatting for the event lists are over-ridden somewhere.

The form is not the only thing we need to format. In-line styling in the Admin Panel – Event Format is very difficult to do.

This is a very helpful event manager. I do appreciate the programming involved in creating it.

The problem with “every theme has its own style” is that when you try changing a style selector such as “input” or “th” in the themes style sheet, then the selector changes all the way across the website. We need to be able to style specific selectors ONLY for Events without affecting our entire website. You need to add more selectors to allow for styling of only the appropriate events pages.

Here is a partial answer to Daedalon’s suggestions. Regarding adding “Read More” to the end of each excerpt. Thanks Daedalon, you got me looking in the right general section of the code.

Here’s what I did to add “Read More”:

First, in the plugin dashboard under “Main Options” make sure you choose “Shorten excerpts to closest period” – NO.

Then go the the php file for the Plugin (sitelayoutcustomizer.php) at about line #1415 you will see this code:

$cont='...';

Modify it to this:

$cont='... Read More'

You can style your Read More by making it a class something like this:

$cont = '... <p class="read"> Read More</p>';

Don’t forget to add this new class to your css file.

Could someone please answer the first question Jamethecat7 asked? The bottom line is MANY of us are using this extremely effective plugin and we need to modify the PLUGIN code, not core WordPress code.

We need to be able to allow HTML tags so that we can format the inside of the excerpt. For instance, I need the excerpt to style both <p> and <h3>.

My page of excerpts: http://www.palmyracob.org/honest/about-us/meet-our-staff/.

If you look at the very bottom excerpt for Missy Thompson, in the first line of the excerpt “Children’s Ministry Mobilize” is styled with an <h3> tag in the original post. But the Plugin strips out the html tags inside the excerpt. There must be a way to get the Plugin to recognize html tags in the excerpt.

Can someone please answer the original question in this thread – how to modify the Plugin code?
