    Hi,

    I would like to feature a single event on a page, with title, date and image is it possible?

    How can I also add a featured image to the countdown?

    Hi there, marlieinthesouth!

    Good question. Embedding a featured event on any page is not currently a feature that is supported.

    One idea might be to use the Events List widget to help with this. For example, you could create an Event Category called “Featured” then display the widget and set it to only show events in the “Featured” category using the filter options in the widget settings.

    How can I also add a featured image to the countdown?

    No, not right out of the box, though it could be done with some custom development. You can override the template for the widget (it’s located at /plugins/events-calendar-pro/views/pro/widgets/countdown-widget.php) and follow the steps in our Themer’s Guide to modify it to display the event’s featured image. Here’s more on displaying a featured image in the WordPress Codex.

    Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

    Cheers!
