    Hello and congratulation on the job well done. I have a question about changing featured image by category. The purpose is to provide subject specific images when an event without a user-defined banner is shared of Facebook or Twitter.

    The instruction provided here https://wp-eventmanager.com/documentation/add-image-event-category/ seems to be quite old as the taxonomy plugin that it mentiones is discontinued.

    I used instead https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/easy-taxonomy-images/ that does the same job. However, the featured images of the categories are not displayed.

    Alternatively, it will be an advantage to have a selector for a mini gallery of images that user can add while creating an event, instead of uploading his own image. Is this possible to do?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @ammosovaha

    Thank you for providing all the information. We are not listing category with images where do you want to show category image in facebook preview?

    As of now we don’t have this feature to select image gallery on frontend but we will try to improve this in upcoming updates.

    Thank you

    Well, there is an option to upload a user image banner. It displays as OpenGraph preview and in most other situations. If I could define pre-set banners that would vary by category and take the place of the user banner if no image is uploaded by user, this would be a nice feature. Your KB article described this method but apparently it does not work anymore.

    Hi @ammosovaha

    That article is only for category image set up if you want to customize it from your end you can do it. We don’t have a built-in facility to integrate and replace the missing images with the default banner.

    if you want to extend it from your end that’s why documentation shows how to use images in the category.

    Thank you

    My question is how to display category image on even page – if that is possible. Is it?

    Hi @ammosovaha

    As i said in my previous reply. You can do it but you need to write custom code like

    add_filter(‘event_manager_default_event_banner’,’you_custom_function’);

    function you_custom_function($image_path){
//here you need to get your category image and apply to the image path 
// Do the customization here as per your needs.
return $image_path;
}

    Thank you
