Problem with entering event dates

    I get the following error even when using the datepicker:

    ‘Your event details are incorrect and cannot be published, please correct these errors first:

    Dates must have correct formatting. Please use the date picker provided’

    Also, why don’t you have the time picker on single events like recurring events?

    just to narrow down the problem and help us debug the issue is it possible to try the following temporarily:

    – deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems

    Tried it with only Events Manager activated, no joy.

    Looking at the data inserted for the event, startdate and enddate are null. Events I had enter before the problem they had valid unix timestamps as I would expect. The recurring events date picker is inserting ’10/02/2016′ where the single events date picker enters ‘Tue, Feb 16, 2016’. Your problem here is likely the setup for the date picker.

    What do you had set for “Date Picker Format” under Events > Settings > Formatting > Date/Time?

    Date Picker Format yy/mm/dd, Date Format F j, Y

    I had put events in in the past but I keep my WordPress sites up to date and it stopped working (I have been working on this site for a little over a year now and they want to go online). If you are going to allow different formats for input and datepicker, you must convert the formats to one compatible with MySwl and PHP.

    I think you misunderstand something.

    From what you’ve said, the “Date Picker Format” is set correctly (and it’s working correctly for recurring events). That almost certainly means there’s interference from a plugin / custom code or your theme.

    Do you have have any custom code running relating to Events Manager or edited plugin files? If yes, try disabling that.

    Have you tried testing with all other plugins deactivated and while runnign the default WordPress theme at the same time?

    Read my first reply. I tried it with all other plugins de-activated! One thing I have noticed is that the date picked in the recurring events page is yyyy/mm/dd (i.e. 2016/02/15) while the date picked by the single event picker is Day, Mon dd, yyyy (Tue, Feb 16, 2016).

    I just tried uninstalling and reactivating Events Manager so that the settings would be removed and it still fails.

    I said:

    I need to know that you tried that exact scenario: plugins off with a default theme running at the same time.
