Hi ! and good morning to you !
I don’t allow submissions on mysite at this time so I can’t check it out for you along those lines but you might try this and see if it produces the required effect. It’s a nice little hack none the less.
Adds a short code and a time stamp to the event when posted.
(might on submissions when you view it)
If your are comfortable with editing your files… and you must always do regular backups of your database and files as a precautionary procedure.
In your theme’s function.php.. or better yet the child theme area…
AND always make a backup of your function.php
function jason_moddate($atts) {
global $post;
extract(shortcode_atts(array(‘format’ => get_option(“date_format”) . ” ” . get_option(“time_format”)), $atts));
return date($format, strtotime($post->post_modified));
}
add_shortcode(‘moddate’, ‘jason_moddate’);
Then use the shortcode.
[moddate]
You can put the shortcode in…..
Settings –> Formatting –>
Single Event Page
— Single event page format
I would put the shortcode at the bottom so it doesn’t interfer with you other formating of the page..
But if your are comfortable with editing the display put it anywhere you want.
This info is from this website…

I tested this… and went back and looked at my older Events.. and it shows the date and time stamp of the day it was posted.
