Switch a widget to a ready-made design, then adjust its colours and fields.
Grid, List, Minimal List, Table and Accordion each have three pre-made templates. Carousel, Slider, Masonry and Timeline use the Grid templates. The templates are in the free version; the per-field options are Pro.
- Open Content > Template Styles.
Template Styles, with a preview of the chosen design. - Set Template Type to Pre-made Templates.
- Pick Template One, Template Two or Template Three in Template Style. A preview of the design shows under the setting.
- Under Theme Color Scheme, set the Non Featured and Featured colours. Featured is used for events marked as featured in The Events Calendar.
- If the design has a date strip, set Date Strip Background, Date Strip Gradient and Gradient Direction.
Choose the fields (Pro) #
Under Content Fields in the same section, switch each part on or off: Event Category, Event Title (with a length limit), Event Content (excerpt or limited content), Event Venue, Event Price (with Price Position) and Read More Button (with its label).
Why the Style tab disappears #
While a widget uses a pre-made template, its Style tab is hidden, because those controls style the Custom card. Switch Template Type back to Custom and the tab returns, with your settings unchanged. Table and Accordion keep their Style tab: their table and item sections also style the pre-made templates.
