About Event content type

On an event page the user can see upcoming details for events and register to attend.

When creating Event content an image for the page header can be added along with an image for the card which is displayed in listing paragraphs such as featured event or Main event listing. There is also the option to add multiple dates to the event should this be required.

  • Any content paragraph can be added in the page main content area

Header image

Header Image Requirements & Recommendations

The Header image appears as a full-width banner at the top of the content page and is styled using background-size: cover and background-position: center. This ensures it scales responsively across devices and screen sizes.

We recommend uploading a high-quality image at 1920×442px (16:9 ratio) to maintain clarity and avoid stretching or pixelation on wider monitors. Keeping the subject of the image centred helps preserve visual impact across different breakpoints, as edge content may be cropped on smaller screens.

If no header image is uploaded:

  1. The system checks for an image attached to the selected ‘Type’ taxonomy.

  2. If not available, it falls back to the default image set in the theme for the content type.

  3. If neither are provided, a default dark grey background will be displayed.

For the best results, ensure all content items use a properly sized and composed header image, and configure taxonomy or theme fallback options as needed.
