    Hi,

    I’m using events calendar pro, and displaying events using the photo view. The featured image is blurrier than expected when viewing the image in the events calendar photo view. Any ideas?

    I’ve looked at the Events calendar photo view demo and their featured images are all different sizes and display in proportion on the events calendar photo view fine. http://wpshindig.com/events/photo/. All images I load into the media library for events (both featured image and within the event description are 720pxls wide, but all varying heights.

    Hi norwestarch!

    I think you need to use a plugin like this: https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-image-sizes/
    to be able to control image sizes in WordPress.

    Andy,

    Thank you this suggestion worked wonders.
    I had originally used this plug in to re-define the Medium thumbnail size’s max width and height to match the size of the Featured Photos I wanted to use, but it wasn’t working. Seeing this post reminded me that I then had to regenerate the site’s thumbnails to affect any imagines I had already uploaded. After adding the plugin and setting the size, this last step is under Tools > Regen

    For those having the same issue with Events Calendar Pro it is because the plugin uses the Medium size for its Featured Images which has a max width and height of 300px which is then stretched across a container equal to 1/3 the screen. Setting the width to at least 500-600px and the height to match the aspect ratio of whatever you are using will fix the issue. Keep in mind however, that if you are using a 2500px wide graphic that file would be too large and a max width in the 600px range easily fits 1/3 of a screen without loosing resolution.

    I do have an issue that is still going on after applying the fix though.

    For some reason when I click on Past Events it stacks them really weird on the initial load, but is fine if you then hit refresh.

    In addition to the Past Events page, I assume it will end up doing the same thing on the Main Events page once I have 4+ events which creates a second row. Any idea on what’s going on with it.

    Thanks
    Jon

    Mike,

    Yes this ticket can be marked as closed as the resolution issues have been fixed.
    I found a solution to the blurry images here off Andy’s guidance https://kriesi.at/support/topic/the-events-calendar-photo-view-event-images-blurry/#post-756766

    With the photos stacking weird in Photo View it was actually an issue with a update to the plugin.
    What it was doing was pre-loading the masonry containers as a fixed 150px height prior to the images loading.
    This has been fixed with their patch on version 4.44 and it now works correctly.

    Ismael also helped me work through some other issues that would be helpful for other Enfold users integrating the Events Calendar here https://kriesi.at/support/topic/events-calendar-pro-adding-a-sidebar

    Thanks a ton,
    Jon
