Title: Plugin not working Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Plugin not working * Resolved [rksystems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rksystems/) * (@rksystems) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/) * I am using The Events Calendar 4.0.1, Category Colors 4.4.5,and WP 4.4 * When I activate category colors it shows up fine with the default colors, but none of the colors in the backend save if I change them. I can send you login details for my site backend if this helps you. * Ryan * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-category-colors/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-category-colors/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Andy Fragen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afragen/) * (@afragen) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/#post-6846736) * I’d rather not have login credentials but if you could post some screenshots that would be helpful. * Thread Starter [rksystems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rksystems/) * (@rksystems) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/#post-6846758) * So when I activate the plugin fresh my calendar looks like this: [http://i.imgsafe.org/5d05b9d.png](http://i.imgsafe.org/5d05b9d.png) * Then I go the backend settings and it looks like this: [http://i.imgsafe.org/5f5b52e.png](http://i.imgsafe.org/5f5b52e.png) * I change the color of one background: [http://i.imgsafe.org/62365f2.png](http://i.imgsafe.org/62365f2.png) * Then I hit the Save Changes button. Then it shows this: [http://i.imgsafe.org/640a856.png](http://i.imgsafe.org/640a856.png) * After that I look at my calendar, it looks like this: [http://i.imgsafe.org/64a136a.png](http://i.imgsafe.org/64a136a.png) * Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you! * Plugin Author [Andy Fragen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afragen/) * (@afragen) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/#post-6846762) * If you could share the URL of your calendar that would also help tremendously. * Dark themes are tough. Settings changes **were saved** as all the _text_ color was saved to black and the _borders_ were saved to transparent. * As you can see in the initial settings page the text is black and there is a left border. The left border is likely added by your current theme as part of it’s default settings and I’m sure that there are likely a couple of other inline styles that are masking the changes that this plugin provides. * Thread Starter [rksystems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rksystems/) * (@rksystems) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/#post-6846770) * The calendar URL is [http://ourbethelchurch.com/calendar/](http://ourbethelchurch.com/calendar/) * I was using the plugin successfully for over a year already, I just ran into this problem now when I updated to the latest versions of category colors and the events calendar. I also changed a category name and slug which may have caused the issue. I tried using the Twenty Fifteen theme and it made no difference, so this shouldn’t be a theme/styling issue. * Plugin Author [Andy Fragen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afragen/) * (@afragen) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/#post-6846774) * Could you save the setting to add the legend? * What category name/slug did you change? from what to what? * Thread Starter [rksystems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rksystems/) * (@rksystems) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/#post-6846775) * I selected “Check to add a Category Legend to the calendar.” and it does stick, however when I do so my calendar disappears and I see this instead: [http://i.imgsafe.org/16d71ef.png](http://i.imgsafe.org/16d71ef.png) * I changed the category College & Career (slug: college-career) to Young Adults( slug: young-adults) * Plugin Author [Andy Fragen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afragen/) * (@afragen) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-347/#post-6846777) * Something very odd happening here.
