Set featured image for Events List

[Joel]

Hi,

I have a menu linking to the default events list with Map set to the preferred view.
My Theme is set to display the featured image of a page at 100vh with the content below that.
How can I set a featured image for the Events List?

Thanks

Just to be a bit clearer:

I’ve used the “Events List” widget on my frontpage to display 3 upcoming events. At the bottom of this widget there is a link that says “View More…” and links to the Events Slug. When this page loads, I have set it to display the Map, with the list of events below that.

I’d like to know how to set a default featured image for the Events Slug page, so my theme can pull it and use it as necessary. For the events list, not individual events. Hope that makes sense.

Hi Joel,

If I’m understanding correctly, it sounds as though you are looking to add a featured image for the Map View where the list of upcoming events are displayed. Is that correct?

If so, I’m afraid that the plugin does not have a direct setting to add a featured image to an archive template, which is ultimately what Map View is (as well as List View, Month View, etc.).

A workaround might be to use something like Advanced Custom Fields to create a setting in the WordPress admin that allows you to upload an image and then use that image in the archive template. You will need to code that custom image field into the template, though. ACF has great documentation on how to add it’s image fields.

Does this make sense and will it work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
