Hi there,

It may be possible.

May I ask, as it stands how do you identify the events you want to hide the dates from within EE?

Sorry, I wasn’t really clear.

If you were to remove those dates via code, how would the code know which events to remove the dates from?

Are they all in a specific category or would you use a custom field to set a flag on each event you wanted to remove the dates from?

(You could hide the dates using CSS if you don’t want to do it via code, but you’ll need to manually add a new rule to your CSS each time you want to hide the dates on a new event that way).

ok, i’m starting to realize the complexity of my idea…

It#s not actually that complex but will require work on your part to get it to work.

For example, you could use a custom field on the event, say ‘hide-datetime-output’ and set the value to true. Then use a snippet to check the event and if that custom field is set, remove the DateTime output.

So it’s not overly complicated, you just need some way of determining which events to remove the dates from. Using a custom field would mean you need to go back and update any event you want this removed from with that custom field.

so, can you tell me the CSS for hiding the date/time? then i will give it a try or otherwise I’ll ask again for the code later

Sure, hiding the datetimes can be done with CSS this like this:

#ee-event-datetimes-ul-4413 {
    display: none;
}

The selector is #ee-event-datetimes-ul-{event-id}

You can add multiple events to that section like:

#ee-event-datetimes-ul-4413,
#ee-event-datetimes-ul-1111,
#ee-event-datetimes-ul-2222 {
    display: none;
}

You can add that to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS.
