As usual solved it on my own — don’t put it two /templates/templates deep, just /templates

Hey Marcus,

That’s a great suggestion. I’ve followed your instructions here:
https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

However, for one reason or another the files are not being overridden by the ones I copied to my theme directory. I preserved the folder hierarchy, and only copied one file, event-form.php into /mytheme/plugins/event-manager/templates/templates/event-form.php

Any idea why?

feiperinaldi, I solved this problem easily.

First, make sure the form on line 57 looks like this (note the enctype attribute)

<form id="event-form" method="post" action=""  enctype='multipart/form-data'>

Paste the following code at line 324 of /events-manager/templates/event-form.php:

<div id="event-image" class="stuffbox">
				<h3>
					<?php _e ( 'Event image', 'dbem' ); ?>
				</h3>
				<div class="inside" style="padding:10px;">
						<?php if ($EM_Event->get_image_url() != '') : ?>
							<img src='<?php echo $EM_Event->image_url; ?>' alt='<?php echo $EM_Event->name ?>'/>
						<?php else : ?>
							<?php _e('No image uploaded for this event yet', 'dbem') ?>
						<?php endif; ?>
						<br /><br />
						<label for='event_image'><?php _e('Upload/change picture', 'dbem') ?></label> <input id='event-image' name='event_image' id='event_image' type='file' size='40' />
				</div>
			</div>

OOOOH good news I have the solution for you:

First, make sure the form on line 57 looks like this (note the enctype attribute)

<form id="event-form" method="post" action=""  enctype='multipart/form-data'>

Paste the following code at line 324 of /events-manager/templates/event-form.php:

<div id="event-image" class="stuffbox">
				<h3>
					<?php _e ( 'Event image', 'dbem' ); ?>
				</h3>
				<div class="inside" style="padding:10px;">
						<?php if ($EM_Event->get_image_url() != '') : ?>
							<img src='<?php echo $EM_Event->image_url; ?>' alt='<?php echo $EM_Event->name ?>'/>
						<?php else : ?>
							<?php _e('No image uploaded for this event yet', 'dbem') ?>
						<?php endif; ?>
						<br /><br />
						<label for='event_image'><?php _e('Upload/change picture', 'dbem') ?></label> <input id='event-image' name='event_image' id='event_image' type='file' size='40' />
				</div>
			</div>

feiperinaldi, I am after the answer to the same question about event image uploads. Any solutions yet?

I mean, just because google writes something doesn’t mean it’s perfect ?? i’d recommend changing it since it fixed our issues and won’t break anything…

Glad I could help — let’s please try and get Marcus to implement this solution into his code so we don’t have to re-add it every time he updates the plugin.

What errors do you see in your JS console? I’m curious to see if its the same issue I was having, as mine was theme related.

The error I was seeing was as follows:

Uncaught Error: HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: DOM Exception 3
mapsevents-manager.js:18
d.extend._Deferred.f.resolveWithjquery.min.js:16
d.d.extend.readyjquery.min.js:16
d.c.addEventListener.y

Effing wordpress hackery…

As a footnote, have you disabled ALL of your plugins except for Events Manager and seen if that makes any difference?

I found a fix to this problem —

In /events-manager/includes/js/events-manager.js, edit line 18 from this:

document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(script);

to this

(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(script);

I found this fix here:

Hope this helps.
