Greetings, all!

I cannot seem to add Event Images at all. I create events from the Admin area. I can add featured images, but these do not show up in the post. There is no option from the admin area to add an “Event Image”.

Is there an option that I should select somewhere to turn on the ability to add Event Images?

Where are you trying to show them? Are you using the #_EVENTIMAGE placeholder within the formatting settings?

Thanks, caimin_nwl.

I am using the placeholder. However, when creating an event, there is no option to add an event image. I can add a featured image, but there is no dialog for entering an event image.

This is my first time using Event Manager, so I cannot compare to previous experiences to determine whether anything is missing from the Add Event form in the Admin panel.

did you already enable user capability upload_event_images under events > settings > general > user capabilities?

That box is checked for the correct user levels.

Thank you for continuing to help!

Ah, I think I can see the problem now…

there is no option to add an event image. I can add a featured image

Event images are featured images. Once you’ve added a featured image to an event, you should be able to see it on your site provided you’re using the #_EVENTIMAGE placehodler within your formatting.

Thanks, caimin_nwl.

I am using a theme developed specifically for the company I’m working with. It might be that the Theme itself is prohibiting featured images. I’ll have to dive a bit deeper, it seems.

Thank you for helping me to understanding that #_EVENTIMAGE is drawn from the set “featured image” for the event post. This is not stated plainly in documentation.
