Hi,
I am wanting to be able to type words instead of a time and date in event datetime section of the event editor. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Cindra, that information can be entered in the name column (e.g. you need to clarify on the date).
You can’t enter text for the other areas as that information is stored in the database in a specific format and Event Espresso uses it for determining when an event is available for registration.

Hmmm. Can I choose to hide the date and time from certain events then?

Also, is there a way to order the events in the events list. I want Level three after level two on this page http://www.artnook.org/art-classes/school-year-classes/

Hi,
Hiding datetimes for specific events would need to be done using CSS. Your web professional could inspect an element on a page and then attach that to display:none which would hide it.
Here is a tutorial on how to do that for specific elements on the events page:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/hide-certain-elements-event-espresso-pages-using-css/
Rearranging events by a specific order isn’t available. The closest option would be to use the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode with the event category parameter to cluster similar events together:
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”my-spring-events”]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”my-spring-events”]
More information on the available parameters can be found here:

Hi Lorenzo,
I am confused on both issues:
Issue 1: You say that my web designer could use CSS to hide the date times but then you explain how and say “none of which wold hide it.” So can it be hidden using these steps or not? Also, I only want the date times hidden for a certain category of event. Making changes to the CSS…would that work for only one category of events?
Issue 2: How are they being sorted right now? By name? Date? Maybe I can manipulate the way I am wording things so that they can be in the order I want.

Hi Cindra, I referred to a specific style which is display:none (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_display_visibility.asp). That can be used to hide specific content and there are examples in the the tutorial that I shared.
The events are shown in reverse chronological order similar to a blog where newer posts appear first and older posts appear further down the list.

Ok. I will have to talk to my web designer about hiding the date times. Just to be clear though…that will not effect other event categories (where I do want the date times shown)?
As for the order I seem to have fixed it by putting each event in their own category and then putting numerous shortcodes (see below):
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”young-artists”]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”level-1″]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”level-2″]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”level-3″]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”teens”]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”adults”]
Now the issue is that before each event the title “upcoming events” is displayed. Is there a quick way that I can fix that. You can see this at http://www.artnook.org/art-classes/school-year-classes/

Hi there,
A nice thing about CSS is you can be very specific about where/when you want it to be applied, so it’s possible to target only the dates you want hidden.
You can remove the title that automatically appears when the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode is parsed by passing in an empty string with the title parameter. Here’s an example:
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug="young-artists" title=" "]
