• How can I get the list of events to show up on my calendar instead of those stupid circles?????? I see on your plugin page you have a beautiful image of a calendar (ajax?) with the format I want, but no matter where I look, I cant find an understandable way to get it. Could I please get instructions for a non-coder on how to do that? https://eventsmanager.site/calendar/normal-calendar/ Thank you

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

  • Create a page with the following shortcode and use that page as your calendar:

    [events_calendar long_events="1″ calendar_size="large" limit="3″ has_search="1″ scope="all" show_search==1]

    Alternatively, you can add the following code snippet:

    add_filter( 'em_calendar_get_default_search', function( $atts ) {
        $new_atts = $atts;
        unset( $new_atts['calendar_size'] );
        return $new_atts;
    } );

    You can use the Code Snippets plugin to add this code snippet.

    Thank you @joneiseman, the shortcode seems to be doing the trick. However, images, when you click on more details are humugo. They used to be about an inch or so. I’ve adjusted the image settings in the event manager settings, and WP admin settings, so now when we click on more details, the page opens up with a small image which instantly becomes huge again and stays that way.

    I find that I need to crop the featured images to a ratio of 3×2 (width x height) to get the images to look correct.

    Where is that done, please? In the Event Manager settings? I only see the option of what size pixels to set under “Image Sizes”. Same in the WP media settings.

    You can crop the images in the Media Library. You can specify the aspect ratio when you crop. You can find instructions here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qms01DX3MNs

    I must have an outdated version of media library b/c my editor doesn’t look the same. I did “crop” but that cut the pictures in half, so I rotated it and tried again, that helped to let me get the ratios to 2×3 or 3×2 depending on the landscape/portrait rotation. But the image still shows up taking the entire screen on the final product. https://oregoncitizenslobby.org/events/rep-diehl-town-hall-1-18-24-530pm-salem/

    I’m not sure what you did but the image still doesn’t have a 3:2 ratio. Currently the image is 253 x 291 pixels and it’s displayed as 637 x 732 pixels. The Events manager only handles images in landscape rotation. Cropping the image to 600×400 pixels would work.

    I do appreciate your help @joneiseman. ?? But I dont want the image displaying that big (637×732). The size of the image showing on that page taken from the media library is only 178 by 267 pixels so why does it keep blowing it up? I dont want them showing as any bigger than 300×300. Do you notice how when the page loads, the image is small and to the right of the location info (that’s how I want it to look!)? Then it suddenly blows the image up and puts all the location info etc, underneath the image. Ick ??

    I was just telling you what I do for the images. You could use the following custom css to reduce the image size:

    .em.em-item .em-item-image {
        width: 50% !important;
        height: 50% !important;
    }

    Where would that go, please?

    Click on Customize then click on Additional CSS and put the CSS there then click on Publish. Here’s are more detailed instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKGdUjdiboQ

    Now we’re getting there! The page still loads with the picture on the right, with the “when” and “event type” information on the left, then changes to the picture on the left (but at least it’s smaller), with the when and event type underneath the picture. So that’s still a distraction but it is TONS better than it was before. ??

    If I could, I would not have images load on this final page, but I need to have an image in the post b/c the post itself goes over to facebook and X. :/
