Date display in Events Calendar

You should be able to do this by changing the PHP date format in the HTML template. You can find the formatting tags by Googling for PHP Date() – just select the tags yu need and amend the template accordingly

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I have been reading up on all of this and it looks like it should be a simple process of using something like the following:

ec3_get_events(30, '', '', 'l j F');

However this only throws errors up at me.

My next tack is to change the default settings, but for the life of me, I cannot find them within the Event Calendar plugin code.

Do you or anyone else out there have any idea where it needs to be changed?

Please help – I do not have much hair left to pull out now!

Hey JamesICT. Apologies for the delay in getting you a response here; things slowed down for the holidays and are just picking up again now on our end.

This should be controllable via your overall WP settings, as defined in Settings -> General. What you set there should take effect on the calendar as well. Are you finding this not to be the case?

I have my date format set at l, F j, Y in WordPress, but no, this format is not displaying in Events.

Hey James. Thanks for the follow-up. That’s odd; it is working for me on the 2.0.11 code. Here’s what I’ve configured as my general WP settings – https://d.pr/i/eB1h.

And this is what displays on the /events page: https://d.pr/i/N2ZT.

Have I done something different than you, or am I testing this wrong? Let me know. Assuming I’ve got this right…are you in a position where you can test deactivation of other plugins (and the theme, if necessary) to test for a conflict?

@roblagatta

I will try and find a suitable time-slot to deactivate the other plugins and see if that works.

I gather that this code ec3_get_events(30); is correct?

Thanks for your help on this – it is much appreciated.

James: are you not using tribe_get_events for your site?
