Description
Add background colors to event categories displayed in the event views of The Events Calendar. This is inspired by the post Coloring Your Category Events.
Settings for The Events Calendar: Category Colors plugin are located in their own tab on The Events Calendar Settings page.
To force a refresh of your CSS, add ?refresh_css
to the end of your events URL, or re-save the Settings.
