Cannot change date format

I am unable to change the date format to dd/mm/yyyy, this is the error I get

The following date time “25/10/2014 12:02 PM” ( d/m/Y g:i A ) can not be properly parsed by PHP due to its format and may cause incompatibility issues with Event Espresso. You will need to choose a more standard date time format in order for everything to operate correctly.
Please note that your date and time formats have been reset to “F j, Y” and “g:i a” respectively.

How do I change it then?

I changed the format to d-m-Y but it still doesn’t change in the single event edit page

Hi,

Dates are always entered in Y-m-d format in that section. Those cannot be changed, only the front end dates can be.

Is there a work around for this? It is quite confusing to have the date in this manner. Anyway I can make it m-d-Y?

Unfortunately not, which is why we have used the datepicker, to make it easier to find and enter the appropriate date and time.

First, please backup your WordPress site. Then upgrade to the latest version of Event Espresso 4.
