Facebook Event Image Size

[Steve]

I’m wondering if there’s an unchangeable default image size of 720 pixel width for Facebook imported events? I’ve been reading the documentation and forums but can’t find the info.

I encountered several events with images larger than 720 and after importing the image quality is diminished. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins.

We do not have a feature or a way to change the image size that we get from Facebook.

If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hi,

Ok gotcha. However, I’m still wondering if the image Facebook provides upon importing is set to a max width of 720 pixels wide?

I see a Facebook event image that’s 950 pixels wide, but it imports it as 720 pixels wide. I’ve looked through my theme and the WordPress Media settings but can’t find a function that resizes it to that 720 pixel width. Any ideas?

We ask for Facebook to return the Cover Image and it appears that they do not return anything over 720px because of that.

I did look through our coding and it looks like we do have a filter that might be able to change this:

apply_filters( ‘tribe_fb_get_facebook_photo’, $photo, $api_url, $response );

This is the variable that sets the image size:

$api_url = $this->build_url_with_access_token( $object_id, array( ‘fields’ => ‘cover’ ) );

You might be able to filter that and get a different size.

That is found in this file:

Thank you so much for the info! I’ll try what you suggested.

Sounds good. Let me know what you find out.
