Single Event Page – Event Image appear in BG

Hi Gen,

Events Manager doesn’t do anything like that by default, so it looks like an issue with your theme. Maybe there’s some way to turn it off in the theme settings?

Hi caimin and thanks for the idea ??

I checked Theme Setting, Background and everything is empty by default; Content BG settings are set to black; BG image slots are all empty; I tried to put an image in the slots to verify but nothing hapen on the event single page.

Still searching!
I will write to the theme support, see if they can help and I’ll follow through with you guys. Thanks

If this can help: I tested a bright color in the Boxed Background Color of Theme Setting Sirius and this is where the problem is; somehow, the Event image bypass the Boxed BG Color…
I wrote to Sirius support but I’m having second thought about the Theme being the cause…
Discussion on Sirius theme here

Events Manager only adds the featured image for the event where the #_EVENTIMAGE placeholder is used.

Something else is adding it to the background of the page. Any time I’ve seen this kind of thing before, it’s the theme.

Could it be another plugin doing this? I think that’s unlikely, but worth checking.

If only I was better at this! I’m checking with theme support but they throwing the ball saying they do not support third party. damn.

That’s not very helpful. Try asking them how to set the background on a custom post type page, that’s all you need to do.

Thanks a lot caimin; I just ask your question on the comment page of Sirius; waiting to see their reply! Will keep you post.

Found this in Edit Theme:

Sirius: Page with Sidebar Page Template (page_r.php)

read the code, and found this:

//Get Page background style
if(has_post_thumbnail($current_page_id, 'original'))
{
    $image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($current_page_id);
    $image_thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id, 'original', true);
    $pp_page_bg = $image_thumb[0];

I am very afraid to touch that cause it’s the script and I don’t know the first thing about that but…?

All right, theme author gave me a compromise; put the sidebar black so we can, at least, see the widget. he gave me this to copy paste in Theme Setting > Script > Custom CSS

#page_content_wrapper .inner .sidebar_wrapper
{
background: #000;
padding: 20px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}

It helps a lot.
I ask him anyway if there was a chance that they could make a change in the script to prevent theme from enabling thumbnail of event as a background image. I know this request can be a lot, lot of work and theme author might refuse to play in the script for this glitch with the plugin (I understand!), also, it’s not like a lot of people reported this problem, but I ask anyway…it could be as simple as a line or two of code added, you never know.

What you could do is make a copy of the page_r.php template (giving it a new template name) and in your version remove the code block you pasted above.

You could then set events to use your new template. Should work ??
