My Events Time Format

I’m having some trouble with the time displayed on the My Events page…

I followed the instructions here (https://eventespresso.com/topic/show-event-time-in-the-event-list-and-change-time-format-for-my-events/) to force the time displayed to AM/PM rather than 24-hour format but, now all the event times in my list display as 6:00 PM, even though the events have various start times. Any idea what’s up?

Hello,

Event Espresso should match the settings that are set for WordPress:

I tested this with the latest version of EE3 and it matched up each time I made the change through the general settings page for WP.

In my WP General Settings, I have Time Format set to “Time Format 7:06 pm” and it does show that way in My Events page (only using the fix in the previous post I mentioned) but, now all the events say 6 PM, which is inaccurate. None of the events I’ve registered for have a start or end time of 6 PM, or a registration start/end time of 6 PM. Very confusing…

Try reverting that fix as it should not be needed.

The test that I shared earlier is from a new install of Event Espresso 3.

I tried it first without the mod and it only displayed in 24-hour format.

Hello,

Were you originally running an older version of Event Espresso 3 and started customizing templates on that version — and now you are on the latest software?

My test was on the latest version at 3.1.36.5.P with default templates (no edits).

That could be the case. Bought the plugin in November or so…

If that were the case, shouldn’t that fix have worked?

There would be other changes to consider. It looks like you purchased after this release:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/change-log/#3.1.35.2

Try temporarily renaming the espresso folder here:

wp-content/uploads/espresso

espresso –> espresso1

Let me know if the time appears as expected.

Be sure to reverse the name of the folder after testing.

Yeah, the time format is correct—as it was with the fix I tried previously—but the times in the list all say 6:00 PM. None of the events have anything to do with that time.

Yeah, that’s my bad. The code should have had a strtotime in it, like so

<td class="date column-date"><?php $ee_tf = get_option('time_format'); $start_time = date($ee_tf, strtotime($start_time) ); echo $start_time; ?></td>
