All the Event Espresso dates (including the invoice) are controlled by WordPress, so by going to Settings > General you can change the date format.

Thanks for the swift response…
I had done that already and on everything it seems to be fine. Even the date at the top right of the invoice is fine (dd/mm/yyyy)
Its the date next to event name that remains as mm-dd-yyyy.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi,
Sorry about that, I didnt see that date.
You are absolutely right, the date format is hardcoded into the invoice template for some reason.
I will get a developer to look into it and resolve it. In the mean time there is a temporary fix if you need it.
Edit the invoice template.php (found in event-espresso/gateways/invoice) and on line 162 you will see this
pdftext($tmp_attendee["event_name"] . "[" . date('m-d-Y', strtotime($tmp_attendee['start_date'])) . "]") . ' >> '
change that line so it reads
pdftext($tmp_attendee["event_name"] . "[" . date($correct_date_format, strtotime($tmp_attendee['start_date'])) . "]") . ' >> '
this code is inside a foreach loop, which starts a few lines up with foreach.
Just above that add this
$correct_date_format= get_option('date_format');
It should look like this http://d.pr/i/YqwE (note that the line numbers may not be exact).

Not a worry at all,
If i fix it, i am assuming on the next update of EE, it will be overwritten?
Do you think they will have fixed it for the next version, so it is no longer hard coded?
It can be extemely confusing for members if events are for 7/6/2013 and they read it as 6/7/2013.
Thanks!

Hi
I cant say when it will be added, but it is a quick fix.
If you edit the files in the plugin then yes they will get over written on update. The gateway files can be copied to the uploads directory just like other templates, so copy the entire Invoice directory from event-espresso/gateways/invoice, over to uploads/espresso/gateways/invoice and edit the files there.
