Feature Photo questions: change – hide – caption

[Robyn Graham]

How do I hide the feature photo on our event? We still want the feature photo thumbnail to show on month view and list view but on our single event view we don’t. (because it’s too large, has no caption, and does not wrap text)

How do we show captions to the feature photo on single event ? I have filled out the caption section but it is not showing on our event.

How can we change the size of our feature photo on our single view? It shows at full size automatically.

Is it possible to designate an inserted photo as the feature image?

In this screenshot it shows the feature image at top and the image I inserted the way we need it to look http://www.burlingamechamber.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feature-photo-events-calendar-support.jpg

Thank you !

Good evening Robyn and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

How do I hide the feature photo on our event? We still want the feature photo thumbnail to show on month view and list view but on our single event view we don’t. (because it’s too large, has no caption, and does not wrap text)

There are 2 ways to go about this:

1. You can create a custom single view that:
   • Does not contain an event image
   • Adds the caption.You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.
2. You can hide or change the size of elements and even wrap text using CSS rules

How do we show captions to the feature photo on single event ? I have filled out the caption section but it is not showing on our event.

You can do so in at least 3 ways:

• Tweaking the single view code http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-display-wordpress-post-thumbnails-with-captions/
• Using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-image-caption/
• Using a shortcode https://codex.wordpress.org/Caption_Shortcode

How can we change the size of our feature photo on our single view? It shows at full size automatically.

Without seeing your site, I can’t say for sure what the CSS rule would be. But this should look like the rule below (more or less).

Try adding the following CSS rule to your style.css file or in your Custom CSS metabox:

.single-tribe_events .tribe-events-event-image img {max-width: 25% !important}

Is it possible to designate an inserted photo as the feature image?

Most probably, but that would be achieved with a customization (as described in our themer’s guide).

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
