May I please request a simple way to remove the date from an event? We would like to add a list of upcoming events on our page that have not been finalized as far as venue, date and time. Can we maybe just get a box that says to ignore the date and time?
We want to advertise that the events will be coming but a lot of times the venue, date and time are not available until later in the process.
Thank you

Hi Chris,
OK, so there isn’t a simple way to remove the date from an event, but I do have a way if you don’t mind a little bit of PHP.
First, what I would do is set up the new upcoming events with their own category (in this example it will be ‘upcoming’).
Then I would list the events with this shortcode:
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS css_class=”upcomingevents” category_slug=”upcoming”]
(the above shortcode is not strictly necessary but is a good way to separate upcoming events from the rest of them).
Then create a Site Specific custom functions plugin (see here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/ )
In that plugin add:
function remove_upcoming_dates( $html, $datetime ) {
//change upcoming to the category slug of your choice
if( !has_term( 'upcoming', 'espresso_event_categories' ) ) { return $html; }
$html = '';
return $html;
}
add_filter('FHEE__espresso_list_of_event_dates__datetime_html', 'remove_upcoming_dates', 1000, 2);
What this does is look for all events with the category ‘upcoming’ and removes mention of datetimes.
I would also hide the Ticket Selector for each event as you create it.
This means when you come to actively promote the event, you need to do two things: remove the category and turn the ticket selector back on.
