Hi Ben
Sorry to bother you again!
On an Event Venue record, you can have a Featured Image and you can add an image to the Text area.
When you view all events for a venue, it picks up the image from the Text area if you have put one in, but also displays Image Placeholder on the screen. I am not sure if the Featured Image should be displayed in this space?
Anyway, I contacted the Event Organiser plugin owners with the problem and they responded as follows:

What’s creating that placeholder image?
The plugin can’t automatically display a the venue image, because its largely the theme that’s left to determine what is displayed. However, it just requires adding:
echo eo_get_venue_thumbnail( get_queried_object_id(), ‘post-thumbnail’ );
to the venue template. I can help with that if required, but if you’re trying to replace the placeholder image it would be good to know what’s creating that in the first place: the theme, or a plugin?

Are you able to shed some light on this please? Not sure how I would update the template (I think I would need to use a child theme plugin?).

Many thanks
Susie
