Hi
Newbie question 🙂
I have just installed EE4 and set it all up ok. I am now entering a lot of my events into the system.
When entering event details the Date Picker displays the date in yyyy-mm-dd format and I find that confusing and I keep on making mistakes.
How can I change this to be dd-mm-yyyy?
Many thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip,
You can use a function like this:
function ee_change_dtt_formats( $formats ) {
return array(
'date' => 'd/m/Y',
'time' => 'H:i'
);
}
add_filter( 'FHEE__espresso_events_Pricing_Hooks___set_hooks_properties__date_format_strings', 'ee_change_dtt_formats' );
Add that to a Custom Functions Plugin on your site and it will change the format for you.

Hi Tony,
That worked perfectly. It took me a while to realise that I had to install the “My Custom Functions” plugin.. but after doing that it was very easy.
All the best,
Philip.

With regards to the ‘My Custom Functions plugin’, you don’t need to install that.
If you click the ‘Custom Functions Plugin’ link in my reply you’ll be taken here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/
That guides you through how to build your own custom functions plugin for the site where you can add function. The plugin you mentioned can also be used, but the actual plugin file will be slightly quicker to load.

Ok. I understand how it all works now. That makes sense. :^)
All the best, Philip.
