 * Hi,
    Is there a premium add-on or script to set a different folder for the event
   images that are uploaded on the front-end (by viewers, not a WP admin)? We don’t
   want these going into the standard WP image/uploads folder.
 * Thanks,

 * at the moment this is not yet possible out of the box however maybe you can try
   to search for other wp plugin which can do this since I think this is more of
   a wp issue (EM uses [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/media_handle_upload](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/media_handle_upload))

 * The file upload in the front-end event submission form uses the constants EM_IMAGE_UPLOAD_URI
   and EM_IMAGE_UPLOAD_DIR, both of which are defined in wp-content/events-manager/
   events-manager.php (lines 172-190). EM sets it to wp-content/uploads/events-manager.
 * If you change the data (both the path and url) there, it will change the upload
   dir. Be aware though, that those changes will be lost when EM updates.
 * Unfortunately you cannot “undefine” a defined constant.
 * [@angelo_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelo_nwl/)… Event images (
   featured images from the Admin) are uploaded to the default WP Media Library.
   But the OP is talking about user submitted images through the font-end event 
   submission form. Those are uploaded (by default) to uploads/events-manager. Since
   that custom folder is defined by EM, a third-party plugin will have no effect.
   😉
