Yani,

Hi, again. I’m sure you got my email letting you know that I LOVE the work you did. Wonderful, wonderful!

I do have “just” one, little question. (Isn’t that what everyone says? LOL.) I did browse the whole website, and everything seemed terrific after your work. I didn’t think to try, say, changing any of the colors of things like the DONATE button or the background color for the slider. These are both defined in the Option Tree. Dummy me, right?

In any case, this came up today because there’s a reason to change the second color on the DONATE button to purple. When I go to Option Tree, one of the selections on the Dashboard, and click in the text line that has the hex code for the color, this used to bring up the colorpicker. Now, nothing happens. Also, I used to be able just to type in a new hex color code and hit save changes. Now, nothing is changed; it just keeps the current color, no matter what.

I can’t imagine how this has to do with your work, yet I never had a problem with changing this before. Can you think of how this would be connected?

Thanks again for everything,
Susan

Yani,

I think that you can find it faster, since you have almost found it already. Plus I’d rather support the people who have helped above and beyond rather than just saying, “Ooops, third party. We’re done.”

I’m at a point where I would need to learn more about coding again than I really want to right now in my life to fix this. I can fiddle enough to make some modifications, which is all I really need to do. I need to be getting people to add the content to the web-site, ya know?

I think that really what may be necessary is to have just one page.php, but have an IF..Else in it that executes only the original part if it’s the usual POST and only the single-ai1ec-event if it’s from the calendar–or something like that????–but I don’t know how to do that.

Or the section in Style.CSS called “Post Stuff” needs to be repeated, but renamed and redefined for .ai1ec. Right? But again, this is where my understanding fails, because I’m not sure exactly what’s necessary, even in terms of the correct characters. (Should I use the “.” here, or is it the “#” in this position? See what I mean? LOL.)

In any case, I’m working as a volunteer. But I guess I’m willing to pay for an hour’s work. It might take even less than that at this point. What do I do from here to get premium support?

And will you get a gold star from it? You MUST!

thanks again for everything,
Susan

Yani,

Shoot. And there I was all excited, but it was a no go.

Looking through the code, however, I see tons of references to “twentyeleven.” Should I change every single one of those references to the theme I’m using?

Of course, if I do that, then it wouldn’t work if I ever changed themes, right?

The calendar code “calls” this single-ai1ec_event, right? So how can it not work?????? (Again, I’m new to WordPress and CSS, so if “call” is the wrong term, please forgive.)

Yani,

And one last, before I leave you alone. (Yes, I have left a post on Politico’s forum.) What was the problem that YOU found? I mean, what is it that I’m looking for?

What you found was in the event.php, and the problem is in displaying the details page; so that fits. Is there anything else that can help restrict the area of code that I’d need to look at–or the specific variables?

thanks again,
Susan

Yani,

Hmmm, since this fix DID correct the problem for birdav–and probably others–there is a good chance it’s the theme. Shoot.

I’ll go try switching to 2011. I’m still new to all this, so I’m unnerved by switching themes; but how else do I get UNnew to it, right?

I’ll let you know how it turns out.

thanks again,
Susan

Mine doesn’t even show that there’s an update available. But, because it doesn’t fix our problem–darn it–I’m not going to worry about it. I didn’t think it was intended to either, but we could always hope, right?

I tried a SLEW of other calendars over the week-end, and each of them had something that didn’t work, too–or they had something that didn’t fit for what I need. But I guess I’d better go back to looking.

Rats.
