I want the featured image and description and other things to show up in the list of events. How do I do this? Here is a link to my events page https://www.freerespite.com/newsite/events/

Hello Edward,

You could either set that page up as the Event Registration page via the Event Espresso General Settings, making sure that the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode is used there

Or you could use the [EVENT_LIST] shortcode. https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/

Hey Dean,

Thanks for answering me. I am using the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode. The problem is my featured image is not showing up. I just realized that you probably couldn’t see my event because it was set as member only. Now if you go to this URL: http://www.freerespite.com/newsite/events/ you will see that the featured image is not there and is not there when you click on the event. Can you tell me how to add it?
Thanks!

The event_list_display.php template file is what controls the display of the event list and event_thumbnail_url is the meta key for the URL for the featured image. Event Espresso 3.1 does not support featured images in the event list natively, so you would need to modify the event_list_display.php and use the EE_META shortcode to display the featured image.

I put this code in the event_list_display.php

It shows the image url, I want it to show the image. Is there a meta key for that?

here is the link again: http://www.freerespite.com/newsite/events/

Sorry it blocked out my pasted code [EE_META type=”event_meta” name=”event_thumbnail_url”]

Can someone please help me with this? The url shows instead of the image

Hi Edward,

Yes it will do that if you are just asking it to show the meta data as the meta data doesn’t store the image it stores the url of the image.

You could try using the php as the image source, for example

<img src="<?php echo do_shortcode('[EE_META type="event_meta" name="event_thumbnail_url"]'); ?>" />
