Changing the Date Display

[dealerdan]

Not sure if this is a bug or what 🙂 But go to

http://www.kingstonontarioevents.com/event/on-the-wall-street-art-festival/

For example.

At the top the date is listed “August 18, 2014 – 24”.

should be “August 18-24, 2014” I’d think?

Not sure if I’ve mucked something up or if meant to be this way but would love to know how to change that if possible. Thanks!

Hello,

I can help you get to the bottom of this. I took a look at your site and see what you mean.

The default setting is like this for Multi Day Events

August 18, 2016 @ 10:00 pm – August 25, 2016 @ 10:00 pm

So it looks like something is causing the second date instance to only show the date.

Have you made any changes to the display settings?

Are you using a custom template or added any filters to change date outputs?

Please let me know about those two and then we can go from there.

Thanks

Hey,

I don’t see anything in display settings. I’ve taken a screenshot of the date format settings you can see that at:

I also tested by temporarily removing any modifications in {mytheme}/tribe-events/ folder but that didn’t change anything. However it’s also occuring in the sidebar widget area, so it does look like it’s a global issue.

I also tested by changing themes but same deal there.

As far as I know, there are no filters that are changing the date outputs anywhere or anything like that, although if you want me to look anywhere just let me know.

Thanks Brian!

I asked around with our developers and we are seeing this issue pop up with date formatting so we are working to see on how to resolve that.

I did play around with my settings on a developer site and if you change the Date Without a Year Box to this:

F j

It will show correctly, but will not have a year in the date.

That should work for now.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

I believe you meant the “Date WITH Year” box as opposed to without. As the problem is when the year is being displayed.

Thanks – all fixed, and glad to hear it’s not just me 🙂

[Brian]

We are both correct, as adding the Y in the without a year causes an issue too.

Since the issue is resolved and we are looking into changing how this is displayed I am going to go ahead and close this ticket. If you have a similar issue or another in the future, please do not hesitate to create a new ticket.

Thanks!
