Various problems are obvious

    Problems observed:

    • Default events page heading says “Recent events” when actually it displays upcoming events — the text doesn’t appear to be customizable.
    • You must supply an image for each event or a large, ugly default image will be shown — there’s no way to turn this off.
    • The image I supply is distorted (wrong aspect ratio) if it doesn’t fit the allocated space.
    • Register for event button is shown even if I didn’t provide any way to register. Often one wants to create events which are just open for anyone to show up.
    • There are separate places to add an address, and to add a location for Google Maps. Both addresses are shown in the listing.
    • The name of the venue (“Starliner Books”) is way down at the bottom — it should be close to the event title.
    • The venue isn’t shown at all in the event listings page.
    • There seems to be no way to control what information is displayed in the list.
    • The word “by” is displayed after the event name — if you supply an organization name it is given after “by”, but the word “by” is displayed regardless.

    I agree with @tylertork for some points, especially on:

    2. You must supply an image for each event or a large, ugly default image will be shown — there’s no way to turn this off.

    8. There seems to be no way to control what information is displayed in the list.

    Can we have a customized default image/turn off option and information display control for the next update? Thanks! 🙂

    Hi @tylertork

    1) Recent events text you can change it by overriding template file called “event-listings-start.php” to your child theme.

    2) Featured image by default injected by the wordpress single page hook in theme. Please add following code to your functions.php file 

    function wpem_remove_featured_image_html( $html, $post_id, $post_image_id ) {
if(is_single() && 'event_listing' == get_post_type() ) {
	return '';
} else
return $html;

}
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'wpem_remove_featured_image_html', 10, 3 );

    3) You want to show fixed width image on your site or full width(depends on image height and width). If image is full width it may looks ugly in some events due to the height width limitation. We will consider your feedback and improve in the next release. For now if you want to make it full width you can override template file to your theme side and make it as per your needs.
    4) Register button will not show if you have set up deadline. Button already improved in the beta version it means you will get update next week.

    5) The location field is used for the google map addon and address field for the specific address.
    6)For now, you need to override the template file called “content-single-event_listing.php” to your theme side and move the venue section to top. We will discuss this with our team.
    7) If your event is online then it won’t show a venue.
    8)We are working on the elementor single page template compatibility soon you can create a template from your end.
    9) This will be improved in the next release.

    Thank you for providing all the information.
