# Featured image required

 * Hello, I use event manager’s event submission form to add events from my registered
   users. Since featured image isn’t required some of them skip this field. However
   that messes up my events listing page and homepage look. So how do I make the
   featured image field compulsory in the form?

 * I think you can use conditional-placeholders, like:
    {has_image}content{/has_image}
   event has a featured image. {no_image}content{/no_image} event does not have 
   a featured image – show standard image [http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/conditional-placeholders/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/conditional-placeholders/)

   solution.

 * Thanks [@barraqda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barraqda/) [@caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/)
   using this conditional placeholder I’m only able to show a standard image on 
   the single events page. What about the events listing page? This standard image
   isn’t being used as a feature image in the listing page.
 * Also is there no way I can make the image field compulsory in the form itself?

 * [@rosemal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rosemal/) What about the events
   listing page?
    `{no_image}URL of the Image{/no_image}` Would be placed in your
   code for your events list. It works for me.
 * You have a page with the short code [event_form]
 * Would it be possible to point your users to…
    yourwebsite/wp-admin/post-new.php?
   post_type=event to add the event.
 * If so you might try a plugin called
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/require-featured-image/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/require-featured-image/)
 * I haven’t fully tested but it looks like it works.

 * [@robswaimea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robswaimea/) ofcourse! I was
   trying to put the code in the single events page. Thanks for the quick fix [@barraqda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barraqda/)
 * Regarding the required attribute of the events form,
    No I can’t give these users
   access to the backend (unfortunately!) to add the events. Is there any other 
   way (hopefully without a plugin) where I can make the field required?
 * Apart from this issue though this plugin ticks off all my requirements!
