    I am trying to change the date format of a category list which is grouped by month. Changing the date format in settings has no effect. I am using shorcode [events_list_grouped category=”20,16″ mode=”monthly”]. The date shows up as Mar 2012 where I would like it to appear as March 2012.

  • do you have a sample link? however you can try to use this placeholder #F #Y at Settings > Formats/Layouts > Default event list format instead of #_EVENTDATES

    That didn’t seem to fix the problem, unfortunately. Here is a sample link: https://seattlelit.com/literature/

    Try this shortcode

    [events_list_grouped category="20,16" mode="monthly" scope="12-months"]#F #Y (your event format)
    [/events_list_grouped]

    instead of [events_list_grouped category="20,16" mode="monthly"]

    That is the date format I am looking for, but it adds the the month and year above every post and doesn’t change the “Mar 2012” header. The page then looks like

    Mar 2012

    March 2012
    Event 1 TItle
    Event 1 Times
    Event 1 Location

    March 2012
    Event 2 Title
    Event 2 TImes
    Event 2 Location

    etc.

    I see, its the header. Try to add this date_format="F Y" to the attributes

    That’s done it! Thank you so much! While I have you, there is no shortcode for pagination, correct? I would have to make template overrides in my theme to add pagination?

    Pagination,
    are you going to use it on the same shortcode? if yes, you can add this attribute pagination=1
