I've just tried the same thing and it flagged 12 contrast errors, but
strangely not the links on green on the right.  However if I use the
contrast checker directly, with the green background colour being #448844
and the blue foreground for the link being #191975, it fails for every
category except large text - and large text is 18pt or over.  Those links
aren't that big!

The post at
https://tri.be/faqs/can-the-calendar-dynamically-fit-the-width-of-a-page/
suggests
that the modern tribe calendar is responsive-ish!

(I'd offer to help ore practically but I've got two rather tricky sites of
my own to try to migrate to a new Wordpress theme while also adding
membership area functionality, in one case with paid logins; not
straighforward!).
