Using Tribe_Get_Events is causing featured images in main calendar to break?

Hi ECP,

Using the following code to create a ‘billboard’ like upcoming event list on our homepage. The code is sourced as per your
https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/ link.

<?php
// Ensure the global $post variable is in scope
global $post;
 
// Retrieve the next 5 upcoming events
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
	'post_status'=>'publish',
	'eventDisplay'   => 'list',
    'posts_per_page' => 6

) );
 
// Loop through the events: set up each one as
// the current post then use template tags to
// display the title and content
foreach ( $events as $post ) {
    setup_postdata( $post );
 
    // This time, let's throw in an event-specific
    // template tag to show the date after the title!
        
        echo " <a href='$post->guid'><li><span>$post->post_title </span></a>";
        echo tribe_get_start_date( $post->ID, false, 'j<\s\u\p>S<\/\s\u\p> F Y', "</li>" );
        }   ?>

This is working great, however seems to have messed with the event images in the single-event-photo-view? Event images are displaying correctly on the overall photo view grid layout, however when you choose an event and view it individually they all display a featured image from the same random event?

Is it not ok to use an event loop in multiple places on a site?

Many Thanks,
M

Apologies managed to resolve issue by reverting to $events as $event in the loop.
Amended code to…

			<?php
// Ensure the global $post variable is in scope
global $post;
 
// Retrieve the next 5 upcoming events
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
	'post_status'=>'publish',
	'eventDisplay'   => 'list',
    'posts_per_page' => 6

) );
 
// Loop through the events: set up each one as
// the current post then use template tags to
// display the title and content
foreach ( $events as $event ) {
    setup_postdata( $event );
 
    // This time, let's throw in an event-specific
    // template tag to show the date after the title!
        
        echo '<li><a><span>'.get_the_title( $event->ID ).'</span></a>';
        echo tribe_get_start_date( $event->ID, false, 'j<\s\u\p>S<\/\s\u\p> F Y', "</li>" );

        } 
        
        ?>

Thanks

Also removed <span> as this is now redundant
