The plugin looks funky on my theme, what gives?

In The Events Calendar 2.0 and Events Calendar PRO 2.0, we’ve improved the templating framework that ties into the Default Page Template. On your settings page, use the “Events Template” dropdown under the Theme Settings section to control the look & feel of the calendar.

The plugin comes with two of its own standard offerings, and your theme will likely include additional options.

That being said, every theme has slightly different CSS – so while TEC & PRO will not look perfect in every theme, we can get pretty close by being smart about our styles and being explicit wherever possible. We’ve done some heavy testing on Thesis and Genesis, for example, after seeing that a lot of PRO users integrate our plugin with those themes. And the integration has been extremely smooth so far.

If that doesn’t do the trick, just stick closely to the CSS rules that your theme is already using and you shouldn’t have too much trouble. Remember, the output is just HTML with CSS selectors, so you can skin it to fit in your theme by just making our stock template match up with your theme’s page.php template.
