Add a Header Image to an Event Novice Novice tutorials require no prior knowledge of any specific web programming language.
In this theme we've built an option that lets you change the header image for all your Events.
By using this header image option you can:
- Set a global default image for all your events - this is done from the [Theme Settings page], and the image will be used for all your events and event categories if you didn't set one for a specific category or post.
- Set a default image for an event category - all your event posts from that category will have this image as the header image. This will over write the global image set in the Theme Settings.
- Set an image for a specific event post - the event will have this image as the header image. This will over write the image set for the event category or the one set in the Theme Settings.
Tip
Think of it like this: Global Setting < Category < Post. The Post being the most specific beats the Category setting, and the Category setting beats the Global Setting that is the least specific.
Set a global default image for all your Events
- Go to Appearance > Theme Settings in the main menu
- On the Theme Settings page go to Posts > Events tab and under the Events Header section you'll find the option to upload an image that will be displayed in the header for all your event categories and event posts. For a perfect fit the header image needs to be 1920px x 434px.
Information
There are more options here for the Events Header like image color overlay or header title. These options are explained and addressed in this article.
Set a default image for an event category

Information
If an event is included in more then one category, then it will use the image set in the first category in alphabetical order.
