So I did end up finding a solution to my problem, I don’t know if it will translate to your sites. The problem with my WordPress site was that it had been around for over 10 years, and over that time the different plugin installs affected the database structure and the file configuration in the WordPress install. So all of the images I had were in a folder that it was not referring to. What I had to do was create a fresh install of WordPress, and move the files into their appropriate folders for the more up-to-date file structure.

That should solve it if you find your file structure is also out-of-date. I also found that using Force Regenerate Thumbnails worked for another instance in this was a problem and the file structure was not at fault. Hope that helps!

By referring to Settyness’s response here: (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upload-path-missing-field-wp-admin-settings-media-files?replies=10) I added to the wp-config.php by adding define(‘UPLOADS’, ‘media’);. This returned the images to the correct path and they are now showing up again on the home page and in posts, which is good. But the fact remains that I still can’t see all of the images in the media library grid view, and the upload file path options are still not there in Media Settings, but that is not as important anymore. Any ideas?

How can I revert the upload path back to media, instead of wp-content uploads? Doing that will save me so much time, unless someone has a better solution! Thanks.

Okay so I wasn’t aware of this. Everything shows up properly by using the placeholders between the tags.

For future reference for anyone that encounters the same problem:

If you want to have the featured image on the left with information about the event on the right first you create two columns.

In the first column: [event post_id=”#”]#_EVENTIMAGE[/event]
In the second column: [event post_id=”#”]#_EVENTNAME #_EVENTDATE….[/event]

Here is a link to all the placeholders that can be used (https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/placeholders/)

There wasn’t great documentation for this on the website unfortunately, it would help if that were added. Thank you for your help angelo and caimin_nwl!

This is the shortcode I used: [event post_id=”1″][/event]

Thank you for responding angelo. I deactivated all other plugins and nothing changed, and I switched to Twenty Fourteen and nothing changed.

To update, I made a copy of this file in my local directory and went ahead and deleted loop-meta. So far it has no ill-intended side effects but will update if that changes.
