I’m really frustrated with a serious limitation of the Events Calendar. It uses either the Events Calendar template or the theme’s default page template. There is no way to create a special page to set up the look of the calendar pages.<\/p>\n
The reason this is an issue is that many themes now use the featured image OF THE PAGE as the header graphic for that page. It might splash across the whole top of the screen with the logo and menu appearing against the image. <\/p>\n
But because the Events Calendar doesn’t use a page, I have no control over that header graphic. It ends up being blank. On several of my sites, the entire header area is just a big white box because it’s looking for a graphic that can’t exist because the template itself doesn’t have one unless I custom-code the theme functionality which is a major headache and would break the next time I update the theme. This means that the calendar pages have a white logo and white menu against a white background. You see nothing in the whole top of the screen. <\/p>\n
I would really like to see the Events Calendar allow us to apply a shortcode to an existing page, allowing the calendar content to then pop into that page. This way we could just insert something like [calendar] into the page where I wanted the calendar stuff to show.<\/p>\n
Short of that, does any one have an easy fix for this very annoying shortcoming? How can I force the Events Calendar to use a specific image as the Featured image?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1055653","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
