    the submit forms, both frontend and backend, have a simple text field for start and end times, the times show on listings as 24-hour times, I see no radio button on the form or in the settings (a)how do I have the option to select the format of 12-hour time. (b)how do I have my users and admins input these times more easily (drop-down menu or such) (c) how do I get this to show up in summary view and single listing view? oh, at some point since the install of the plugin, I believe the submit forms were heavily edited by an admin taking out a lot of the fields that this client did not need. Is it possible what I am looking for was deleted? even though text fields with “time” are there now? (thank you for your time)

    Yes,

    you can set time format based on your need from admin settings.

    for single listing view and summary view,

    Hope this will help you.

    No, that pages= with the shortcode showing how I can list a single event by its ID did not help. (seriously?) so you are saying that everything will show up, based on having the correct shortcode? (which you will not even share?)

    I will repeat my defense of myself and my review here as well, since you have seemed to write the exact same thing on all of my posts now.

    My review was not based on my not understanding, not based on my not being able to ask for assistance, not based on my “not trying out your help” or “trying to get help from you” or whatever you meant. It was not based out of frustration like you accused me of in one of your emails to me. Yes, your help was not helpful, yes it was hard to understand. You now want me to share my URL with you and help me, but you were not so eager to when I first asked. You did not even address all of the parts of my question, just dismissed me with one of your incomplete tech docs.

    I re-installed the plugin from scratch, and spent a couple hours researching my issues and how to correct them elsewhere on the internet, without any further assistance from you (I guess I really should have written my review earlier?)

    So my review, which I still defend, is based on knowing how much work and effort and time it will take for me to get it working well (and not even as nicely as the extensively modified ones in your “showcase”).

    Hi @chifu67,

    For the review, it is your personal thoughts and rights to do. I am not making arguments on review if you can provide me details and some process then it will be good. if we all follow it will benefit for all. If you just write a review it doesn’t help you. I am here to help you.
    Let’s get back to your above thread issue :
    (a) You can take over date and time formate as per your needs by two way
    1. Adding the filter to the central function called apply_filters( 'display_event_start_date', $post->_event_start_date, $post );

    Here you can change the date start date formate by applying proper priority.
    We are not providing direct code because more user wants to easily change the front-end formate by overriding the template file called `content-event_listing.php – this template file for the listing
    content-single-event_listing-organizer.php – It is for the where & where section at the single event page.
    content-summary-event_listing.php – It is for summary event listing.`

    If you user display_event_star_date filter then you need to apply this function at all your template files where you want to change the format.

    (b) Currently, we have used start time and end time as the drop-down. Can you please show me where you want to put dropdown for user and admin.

    (c) Please check above points (a) I have provided both ways via filter and template file so I guess it is clear now.
    You can override the listing and summary template.

    You can delete the fields but make sure you can remove the code which is showing the information at the listing / single event page.

    Some required fields like title and description you can’t if you do it will break all the wp core functionality.

    Let me know if you still facing any issue with any points. I am here to help you.
    Thank you.

    Again, the review is not a “personal thought” merely an accurate assessment that either by design or not, by intention or not, this plugin requires a lot more coding than others do to achieve a similar functionality. Not judging, just saying that this is how it is. It isn’t portrayed that way, so that’s why the 1 star, it might be a 5-star product for some, the way some deploy it, but not the way I intend to. It might be a 5-star plugin for someone who wants to basically code the thing themselves from the ground up and need a good lightly coded piece to start with. or it might be a 1-star plugin if you don’t want to go that route. The documentation is poorly written, that isn’t my personal thought. There are parts that are incomplete, and parts that are inaccurate and even code snippets that aren’t right, and even one of them is in the wrong document. So that isn’t a “personal thought” is it?

    As far as my rights to do so, I’m sure Ashok Dudhat will disagree with you, based on how he responded to me earlier and through out my other support tickets.

    Though I do appreciate your detailed response to my issue, that was what I was looking for when I asked earlier, and your associate, though he is listed as a plugin author, seemed either uninformed, or just was not interested in helping, not sure which, though he did take the time to respond to me about my review on EVERY SINGLE post I have. Not very nice, not very “helpful” not someone I would ever ask for help from or deal with again. He sent me a link to use shortcode for listing a specific post by post ID. Then I spend a couple hours on other forums, and complete strangers look at the code to this plugin and are able to assist me. Though at this point, I’d rather not spend any more time on this plugin, for the very reason, that I know if I ever needed help, or I purchased the other 3 plugin addons I need, I know, I will get bad info, I know my issue will go unresolved, and I know that I will get pointed to a document that isn’t very useful. I know that if I dare to speak out, I will get insulted back. I can’t afford that risk if I am going to pay a chunk for the other addons I need. (which pales in comparison to the time I will spend fixing the core) That’s a large investment total. Too big of a risk here.

    I found the code I needed to correct my issue elsewhere. That’s why this is marked as “Resolved”

    Hi @chifu67,

    When we reply on topic with details then we make them mark as resolved. If you have issue you can ask me i am here ??

    It doesn’t mean it is marked as resolved or not.

    Thank you.
