A problem solved butmore help needed

[Mary Plumstead]

I wrote last year about the editorial calendar suddenly not working nad never saw your response till now - it went into the wrong folder. As it turns out, I moved my client's site to pressable, everything was updated and much to her relief the calendar worked! The only thing missing is that she was previously able to have her 6 or so categories show up with a specific highlight color for each so at a glance she could tell what she has to do. I think you may have given us code to do that - but we cannot find it. Can you help with this? I am quite sure my client would happily pay for your help. It is such a very important part of what she does. She plans her posts months in advance. Just fyi, her website is entertablement.com

Thank you so much!

Hello Mary,

You can change the colors of categories in the calendar with CSS.  There's an example in our FAQ here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/editorial-calendar/#can%20i%20change%20post%20colors%20or%20styles%20in%20the%20calendar%3F

Every category in WordPress has a short name called a slug.  That is used as a CSS class so you can write a selector that changes post colors based on those categories.  For example, if you have a post category with a slug named. my-category then this CSS would turn it red:

.post.my-category {
    color: red;
}

If this used to work in the blog then my guess is that either the category names changed or the CSS isn't getting loaded anymore.

Good luck,

Zack

I checked the Additional CSS and the code was still there - I am trying to change background colors. I re-entered it and it did not work. I am sure it is something I am doing..any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're making changes to the CSS on your blog admin page and not seeing the changes then it's probably not loading the stylesheet correctly.  You can use the browser debugging tools to see if the CSS is being loaded properly.  If not then you need to see how you configured our blog to make sure it is loading your stylesheet.

I will get someone to check. Thank you for your fast response. Everything else on that stylesheet unrelated to the calendar  is working so I am baffled. But thank you!

Good luck.  If you'd like to create me a credential for your blog I can log in and take a look.

Hi Zack - sorry it has been such a long time - is the posts calendar still in operation? All of the CSS I was using to add color to the posts is exactly what you recommended and still does not work. Are you still willing to check it out on the site? My client would gladly reimburse you for your effort. this would be so very helpful as we are now using it on a few sites.

Thank you!!!!

Hello Mary,

It has been a while.  In the time since we last communicated the Editorial Calendar has been purchased.  I've CCed the new owners here.

Ryan or Patrick, do you want to take a look at this?

Cheers,

Zack
