Hi Nico,

The code snippet you sent: where should I drop it in? Any particular code line #?

Should I also rename the file back to “single-event.php” instead of “_single-event.php”? When I name it back to original, a duplicate event image shows up, but it pulls the event date from the last date listed in the events calendar. Sorry I’m not getting anywhere with this.

Hi Nico,

Renaming the file as you suggested brings it back to picture-less status.

I’m not sure what you not seeing the new issue I described “locally” means (apologies again for my lack of tech savvy!), but I cannot figure out why it shows the title and headline (and date) of our last calendar event, even though the header for the “week’s events” shows correct date and date event image.

Is there a “settings” feature I might need to adjust? Or might I have put the code snippet in a wrong location in the “single-event” page?

I have asked some people with more web experience to assist, but no one can seem to be able to sort this out — so again, thank you.

Also, as an aside: 9/5 is the last date we have listed on our calendar.

I disabled the 9/5 event to see what would happen. The 9/4 event defaulted as the event title instead (see attached screenshot, similar to my previous post).

Any idea why the last listing from our calendar would pull into the date and title field, but the image for the day of the (current) week is correct?

Thanks…

[Aaron]

This is great!

Images show!

One issue now: images for an event NOT this week shows up beneath each event listed for this week. How do I remove this? I checked our events calendar and it’s not listed as a recurring event, or on the wrong date (it’s an event on 9/5, “Get Summered”).

See screenshot —

Thanks,

I guess I’m confused by which widget to use. I don’t care which one it is, I would just like there to be images and a horizontal format.

Could you point me to the exact widget needed, by name: List Widget? I’m not seeing that one. If there is a further need to custom code, I may be out of luck as I’m clearly very limited in my customization abilities. I’m happy to send you any login info to my site that might help solve this quickly and finally.

Alright,

I think we’re getting soooomewhere….

1. I am using “This Week Events” as the widget. Can you confirm that’s correct?

SEE SCREENSHOTS
2. When I swapped between “This Week Events” and “Events Calendar” the “Events Calendar” widget DID show images! But it was vertical, and does not seem to have an easy way to customize the layout (to horizontal). And it showed a mini-version (icon) of the monthly calendar.

Am I using the wrong widget?

Thank you again!

Hi,

So when I try this (see screenshot for Twenty Sixteen folders added as you suggested), the Twenty Sixteen theme shows full event listings with some untranslated shortcode (maybe I’m not saying it right: but see additional screenshots for what I’m seeing) — but with images. Even though the single-event.php file is empty.

Let me know your thoughts, thank you so much for your continued help!

Hi,

It doesn’t affect the widget — it remains on our website (see screen shot).

[Aaron]

Hi,

I did delete and refresh, forgot to mention. Just did it again.

Thanks for any more solutions, sorry this is unusually difficult…Optimizer Pro has been the easiest theme to work with in all other aspects!

[Aaron]

Hi Nico,

The site is for sure using Optimizer Pro. I refreshed the single-event.php and it’s now showing as 4.25kb (see screenshot again). But still no images.

[Aaron]

Thanks Nico!

I tried the step-by-step as you instructed (see screen shot) and…no dice. And I do have featured images for all of my events.

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks for bearing with my caveman knowledge of web “stuff.”

[Aaron]

Hi Nico,

Thanks for the response!

Yes, that was the tutorial I followed – I even tried the sub-link to another user’s tutorial.

I have not created a child theme, as the theme I use (Customizer) has a feature for customization separate from having to modify the theme’s coding manually, or line by line, if that makes sense. Dumbs it down for people like me…

Any pro help from your end would be amazing and very appreciated. Let me know what other info you’d need to help me add images.

Thank you!
