Featured Image

In the list view, the featured image is blown up super huge. Is there a way to minimize that. When you click on the event, it looks fine, but in the list view it is crazy big.

Howdy tammi4fsu,

Your site is a touch too small for the Events Calendar. So it is switching to the mobile/responsive view. There would be two ways to fix:

1. <span style=”line-height: 13px;”><span style=”line-height: 13px;”>CSS. Override this style with one that is more to your liking: </span></span>.tribe-events-event-image img {
   max-width: 100%;
   height: auto;
   }
2. Widen the site a bit. Pehaps you could remove the sidebar by simply switching templates (WP Admin > Events > Settings > Display, Templates)

Would that work? Please let me know if so. Cheers!

I can’t switch templates because there was a theme conflict and I need those banner ads on the side and had to have someone fix that for me. So, for option one – where would I make this change? (Sorry, I’m sort of limited on my tech skills)

Howdy tammi4fsu,

No problem! That would be a CSS change. I have to warn you that CSS/WP Template changes can be a bit technical, and depending on your circumstance it might be wise to get someone technical on call for those sorts of things.

But if you are feeling adventurous and maybe a bit daring, here are the steps I would do:

• Create a Child Theme
• Add something like the following to your style.css:
  body .tribe-events-event-image img { max-height: 240px; }

Does that make sense?

Not something I can pull off, but will see who I can recruit.

I am sorry to hear that but I totally understand. Better safe than sorry. If you do find someone it might help to point them to this topic. I doubt they will estimate too many hours for this change.

Also, if you are having trouble finding anyone email pro [at] this site and ask for a list. Over the years we have noted some freelancers who were familiar with WordPress and our plugin and seemed  very capable. Obviously nobody gets any money for the referrals, it is just there if you need someone and are having trouble finding a person. Some of them specialize in small tasks like this one and have good rates for that sort of thing.

If that settles this issue for now, mind marking this topic resolved? Cheers!

Since this topic has gone for a spell without a response I am going to archive it. Thanks for posting! – Brook
