Adding images to Community Listing

[Frans]

hi can not find a way members can add images to their event description

are there a option to turn this function on?

Hi Frans,

Thanks so much for reaching out again here!

Users should be able to add images to their event submission.

Can you take a screenshot of what your Community Events Submission Form looks like, since I don’t have log-in access to that page?

Also, if you switch to a default theme, like ‘Twentyseventeen’, do you see any change to your submission form?

Let me know!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

On the community page users can not ad images to there description

This is normally done in the backend in the description field by adding media as per the image backend

Hi Frans,

Users can add an image to their events through the image meta box, which I am seeing you have from your screenshot.

Although they cannot add images from the event description box, they are able to add an image to their submission through the image box instead.

Let me know if you have any other questions on this topic!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Not sure if you understand my question??

Except for the event header picture how can a user add more pictures to the description / event?

Hi Frans,

Community Events actually leaves the “Add Media” feature out intentionally because having it there would cause a WordPress security issue. The form allows specific image types to be uploaded for the Feature Events, but “Add Media” is different in that any file type could be uploaded to your server, including harmful ones. That’s the reason it was left out and why there is no setting to bring it back.

You can try to customize the form on your own.  I’d recommend starting off by taking a look at our Themer’s Guide, which can show you which templates can be edited and copied in order to achieve the results that you are looking for.

Please also note that support for customizations is limited as stated in our support policy.

If this functionality is a requirement for your intended project, I’d suggest that a third-party developer would be the best way to make this feature happen on a short timeline. ? We maintain a list of developers who work with our plugins on our Knowledgebase here:

Let me know if you have any other questions on this topic!

 

Thanks,

Jaime
