How to add a featured image to venues and organisers

[childfriendlybrighton]

Apparently you can add featured images to venues and organisers. In my wordpress dashboard, there is no box for featured image on the edit venue and organiser pages (there is on the edit event page).

Am I missing something? Is there a setting to allow featured images for venues / organisers?

Hi Chris,

You’re not missing anything at all–venues and organizers actually do not support featured images.

One way you could get around it is to use Advanced Custom Fields to add an image field to the Venue and Organizer screens, then use that to add the image to the pages.

Does that makes sense and will it work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Oh! I should add that including this in your functions.php file will do the same:

/**
* Enables the Thumbnail support for Organizer and Venue edit screens.
*/
function tribe_add_thumbnail_support_venue_organizer() {
add_post_type_support( 'tribe_organizer', 'thumbnail' );
add_post_type_support( 'tribe_venue', 'thumbnail' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'tribe_add_thumbnail_support_venue_organizer' );

Cheers!
Geoff
