I’ve just installed EE4 and I’m trying to create my first event.
Everything is fine until I try and enter the start and end dates. I am unable to create a start date that isn’t today. The end date can only be today or tomorrow.
Every other date in the date/time picker is greyed out.
I did see a support post about conflicts with ACF, which came as part of my theme so I added the fix to my functions.php but that has no effect.
Also once the date/time picker has opened there appears to be no way to get rid of it.
Help!

Hi there,
Can you add a screenshot of the datepicker, please?

It does sound like a conflict, but not one I’ve seen before.

Yeah, that’s definately a conflict as that’s not EE’s datepicker.
If you can send temp login details using this form I’ll take a quick look:

(Note we generally require a support token to work directly on the site but I’ll happily take a look and see if anything stands out)

Turns out this is from Advanced Custom Fields.
We’ve seen this previously, but only with ACF Pro, now apparently the free version does the same (and with a different DatePicker).
To fix this you can add this snippet to your site:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/7fc7fa30663583ad3d0b42ef44039411
You add that t a custom functions plugin and we have some documentation on creating one here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/
That snippet just tells ACF not to enqueue its DatePicker on EE’s event editor and shouldn’t cause any other issues elsewhere on the site.

Hi Tony,
I’ve followed the instructions and that seems to have fixed my issue.
Thanks for all your help.
