Hi,
We recently moved the the grid display and really like it. But, the featured image is showing as a thumbnail and the resolution is pretty low. Can you tell me how to make those images bigger and with better resolution? https://nsaoregon.org/nsa-events/

Hi there,

The Grid view template pulls in the ‘thumbnail’ size image for your events, by default this is usually 150px by 150px (yours appear to be 120×120).

One way to fix this is to pull in the correct size image for your grid view, you’ll need to modify the grid template to do that.

Grab a copy of /wp-content/plugins/eea-events-grid-view-template/templates/espresso-grid-template.template.php

Place that copy within your themes root directory, preferably a child theme.

Now within that new file look at line 28, you should have:

$feature_image_url = $post->EE_Event->feature_image_url();

Change that to:

$feature_image_url = $post->EE_Event->feature_image_url( array( 350, 350) );

Or whatever size you prefer to use from your site, just don’t go to big 🙂

Thank you! That helped with the resolution, but the images are still kinda small.

Oh, so you just need to increase the width and max width set, for example:

.ee_grid_box_v2 {
    max-width: 450px;
}

.ee_grid_box_v2 img {
    width: 450px;
    height: 450px;
}

Add that to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS.
