I have a footer with a link at the bottom of all my pages. When I added text to my calendar page it blew away my footer information with the link. How do I restore this link? The information is on all the rest of my pages. You can go to my site and look at it.

Thank you so very much for helping me. I did all what you told me to do, and I think that 3 of my questions were answerd and done.

the 4th questions is:

I need only the following fields, but I tried to change the word “Country” (….try) to “County” (…….ty) and that did work, but the change eliminated the field on the frontend. See: http://ctproductsandservices.com/event/olivers-antique-barn/

And when clicking on “Google Maps Link”, the address shows up PLUS the words: “Select a Country:”
You see, this website is only for the State of Connecticut.

Hi Yvonne. Thanks for the note here, and for reaching out on these issues. We appreciate your use of the plugin. While these issues are generally better handled on the forums at http://tri.be/support/forums, I’d be happy to help you out with the questions best I can.

1. While you can accomplish this by delving into the code if you’re more technical, the easiest way out-of-the-box would be to try the different templating approaches under Events –> Settings –> Template. The plugin offers a couple options and your theme likely includes its own. Try each of those templates there, than review on the frontend, as all will have a slightly different visual impact.
2. You can control the size of the map under Events –> Settings as well. In terms of adjusting the placement, it sounds like this FAQ item might help you out: http://tri.be/place-the-map-featured-image-below-event-description-instead-of-above/.
3. You can definitely change the color scheme on the frontend; best way to do this would be to just pop open the events.css file that comes in the plugin folder. Note that if you’re going to make changes to this file, you should copy it over to a new ‘events’ folder in your theme directory and make the changes there. This way they won’t overwritten next time there is a new update to the plugin. Not sure what the difference between the existing country field is and what you are seeking, but let me know and I’ll try to assist on that end.

Glad to hear you’re liking the calendar, and that it’s been one of the better solutions you’ve found so far. We sure appreciate it and are happy to help best we can in making sure this fully meets your needs. Please do let me know what else we can help with.

1. When I add a new event and view, I find everything all the way to the left. Any possibility to have a margin on the left?
2. Any way I could have a full width google map right before the write-up?
3. Frontend:
a. When I click on Event List, the “start,end,venue,phone,address is on a white field. Could it be on the same color as the existing background?
b. I would like to have a field for County, not country.

Very excited I finally found a calendar (tried 8) I activated and it actually works!!! Hopefully, I can make it more and more exciting for my audience. Maybe I have to buy the pro, but am trying this one first.
