Event Image Size

What is the suggest image size for the Featured Image for an event?

Hey Ryan,

Thank you for reaching out! The featured image size is really dependent upon the layout of your event pages, largest available size of image available, etc. You can use the default WordPress image sizes by calling in ‘thumbnail’ or ‘medium’ for example. (see screenshot below)

If you need to create a custom size for your event featured image, you could do that in your theme’s functions.php file and call that size for all your event’s featured images. More info on that can be found here.

I hope this helps answer your question and let me know if you have any additional comments. Have a great Friday and thanks again for contacting us.

Best,
Juan.

Which size does the event use for the Image or list version of the event list?
I am trying to make custom images so they don’t get cropped funky

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for the follow-up.

The image size that is used to print the image on the single event page is the ‘full‘ size, which is the original size of the uploaded image.

The image size used for the list of events is ‘medium‘. That size can be changed directly from the screen I’ve shared with you in the previous message.

If you want to change the sizes used in each case, you can do it by modifying the default templates in your theme. 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 attempt the results that you are looking for. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

The image for the single event page is printed in the file /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php, line 58

The image for the event list is printed in the file/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/list/single-event.php line 86

They function used to print them is tribe_event_featured_image()

Best,

Juan.
