Is it possible to have the day of the week appear from the date selected for the event?

e.g. Thursday, March 7, 2013

Hi there,

In most cases, Event Espresso will display dates as they are set in the WordPress > Settings > General Date settings.

Use the custom date setting l F j, Y

The custom date setting of l F j, Y gives me this result.

I added this to event list display.php for the day of week:

(wrap in php tags)

echo date('l', strtotime( $start_date ));

Worked fine, here http://d.pr/i/UfqM – the date just needs to be changed in the WordPress General settings

I’ve done it in the general settings, going straight to it, and via the link in espresso. See here for the date that is showing – http://www.societyofanaesthetistsinradiology.org/events/

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have received the login details however they do not work. Could you please resubmit valid login credentials?

Thanks

Thanks Dean. Resubmitted, as requested.

Hi,

OK I see the issue, when entering the custom date codes and saving, instead of it saving correctly, it inputs the word “custom”.

I have set your date to the default, however you need to speak to the design of your custom admin panel as that is causing the issue by not allowing the setting to save correctly.

Thanks Dean, custom admin panel, you mean the designer of the ‘THEME’ i’m using?


Dean

November 12, 2012 at 5:55 am

YEs indeed, though the theme has customised the full Admin Panel at the back, in my mind without need except for a looks thing. However I am certain this is causing the issue. On a basic install where the dashboard is not changed, changing the date is not an issue.

Hi Dean,

i’ve updated my theme to display (l, F j, Y) date style. However, the date at the bottom of my event – http://www.societyofanaesthetistsinradiology.org/events/ is only (F j, Y). Where can this be changed please?


Dean

Hi

It’s in your WordPress settings. Go to Settings > General and its in the date section there.


Ben

November 13, 2012 at 11:26 am

Yes, I’ve tried that, and it shows up an error with a long date every time. I’ll update to the new version, but I can’t see it changing.
It’s really odd because of got it working on the home page, after putting it in the content-single.php file.

Hardcoding it will work of course, have you tested it with the twentyeleven theme? If it works fine with that then your theme is to blame for it.
