SKU Format Changed

Hi,

This is a minor annoyance rather than a major issue. After I updated to WPEvently 5.2.3 I am no longer able to use the hyphen character (ASCII 45) in on the Settings -> Event SKU No data field. For some reason, the hyphen (or minus) character gets stripped out of the input field.

The reason that this is an annoyance is that I have commonly used hyphens in SKUs as part of an organization specific SKU format convention with previous versions and now that convention can not be used and a previously working regex will not work on exported product lists.

Can you let me know if the removal of the hyphen character will be reversed in the future or will this be a permanent change? Thanks in advance for your response.

Hello @dwturner

Can you please reinstall the Event Manager Plugin? Just go to the plugin list page, deactivate and delete the plugin, then go to the Add New Plugin page and install and activate it again. I hope the issue will be fixed with this process.

Please let me now your feedback.

Best Regards

Hi @aamahin

Thank you for your quick response. The uninstall/reinstall procedure corrected issue with the inability to use hyphen characters in the Settings -> Event SKU No data field.

However, the procedure has also corrupted the web site’s ability to display a Feature Image using the WPEvently single page default template. After the update the images are now displayed at about 250% of their original size which pushes the event description, details and registration ticket form underneath and well below the footer section of the site.

Do you have any suggestions that might fix the oversized feature image issue or should I switch back to a previous version of the plugin?

Thanks again for your help.

This page is an example of the newly oversized image: https://hamiltoncameraclub.com/em4wc-event/2025-26-digital-creative-art-images-presentation/

Version 5.2.3 displays the feature image properly but version 5.2.5 does not. There appears to have been a change in the .mpwem_slider_area div.post_thumb img class that appears to be related to the issue.

I am not sure if it is related but my web browser console is warning that the single page event listings are being displayed in quirks mode. I can confirm that there does not seem to be a <!DOCTYPE html> tag at the start of the http response package.

Thanks again for your help.

Hello @dwturner

Please copy the CSS code below and save it in Customize -> Additional CSS. I hope the issue will be solved:
```
.mpwem_slider_area div.post_thumb img {
    width: auto;
    height: auto;
    object-fit: cover;
    margin: 0 auto;
}
```

@aamahin

The suggested css worked but I needed to add the !important rule to the fix otherwise the css found on line 321 of mpwem_style.css had higher specificity causing the provided fix to be overridden.

Thank you for your quick and helpful assistance.
