I have waded through a LOT of documentation, posts on this forum, etc. and cannot figure out the syntax/approach for this. I have copied content-espresso-events-datetimes.php to my child theme and it is responding to changes. However, I’m needing to customize the startdate output.
If I use:
espresso_event_date();
for the non-single pages like this:
if (is_single()) {
espresso_list_of_event_dates( $post->ID );
} else {
espresso_event_date();
}
I get October 23, 2018 5:30 PM format, which is fine but I want to customize that a bit. I’ve looked everywhere for arguments for espresso_event_date() but can’t find a list anywhere to change the output. Anything I have found is either EE3 syntax or just blows the page up in various ways.
Is there a way to format that start date (using something else besides espresso_event_date(), keeping in mind this is being done within the confines of the content-espresso_events-datetimes.php template in a child theme?

Hi there,
espresso_event_date() is a template tag and sits within \event-espresso-core-reg\public\template_tags.php
So looking in that file you’ll find this:
function espresso_event_date( $date_format = '', $time_format = '', $EVT_ID = FALSE, $echo = TRUE ) {
$date_format = ! empty( $date_format ) ? $date_format : get_option( 'date_format' );
$time_format = ! empty( $time_format ) ? $time_format : get_option( 'time_format' );
$date_format = apply_filters( 'FHEE__espresso_event_date__date_format', $date_format );
$time_format = apply_filters( 'FHEE__espresso_event_date__time_format', $time_format );
if($echo){
echo EEH_Event_View::the_event_date( $date_format, $time_format, $EVT_ID );
return '';
}
return EEH_Event_View::the_event_date( $date_format, $time_format, $EVT_ID );
}
Which means you can pass the date format and time format to the functions like so:
espresso_event_date('{date_format}', '{time_format}');
By default, the function uses the format set in your sites general settings but the above sets the format for that specific function call.
May I ask, what exactly are you wanting to output? espresso_event_date() pulls the ‘primary’ datetime for the event, meaning the first datetime at the top of the list within the editor.
