Hi John,
Thanks for reaching out! I’m sorry you’re running into this issue.
I’m not familiar with that plugin, but I took a quick look, and you should at least be able to hide the avatars with CSS:
#tribe-events #tribe-events-content-wrapper .post-avatar {
display: none;
}
You can add that to your Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS area if you have one, or to the style.css file of your child theme.
There might be a way customize the plugin to exclude certain post types (events are tribe_events post types), but I didn’t see any documentation on how to do so.
I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks,
Jennifer
