List view event images blurry and pixelated

[sidneyexchange]

Hi there,
I’ve scoured the forums and found a few related topics but none of the fixes are working for my site sidneyexchange.com. The list or “Upcoming Events” view shows some blurry / pixelated images, even though the single event view looks great. I’ve tried adjusting the responsiveness settings which made no difference.

Any thoughts?

Hi There,

I have an idea on what is causing this.

What is the coding you added to show the Image in the Upcoming Events?

It looks like it is using the thumbnail size and you need an image twice that size so it comes out blurry.

If you post the coding here for the featured image I maybe to give you a quick suggestion.

Thanks

Hi there, thanks for you help. I didn’t add any coding to show the images. They are showing by default when I use URL: http://sidneyexchange.com/events/list/

Oh right sorry I was thinking of something else.

To make a change here you will have to follow our Themer’s Guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

Then you will want to move this file to your theme:

\the-events-calendar\views\list\single-event.php

On that file look for this function:

<!-- Event Image -->
<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( null, 'medium' ) ?>

And make sure it is set with medium as it looks like right now it is set to thumbnail.

That should fix the issue.

Let me know how that works out.

Thanks

Hi Brian, thanks again for your help. Unfortunately your solution didn’t work but it did get me 99% of the way there, and the opposite of what you said is what actually fixed it. I created the folder and copied the file as suggested but found the file was already set to medium so I changed it to thumbnail and magically all my list view images were clear! Perhaps it was a typo but thanks for getting me there.

Cheers
Dylan
