Hi gamesandstuff,

Usually when the date/time selector looks like what’s in your screenshot, it’s the result of another plugin hooking into the date/time selector and changing some settings. Does the date/time selector’s appearance improve if you temporarily deactivate all other plugins?

That rules out the plugins, but the theme should also be ruled out. If you temporarily switch to the default twentyseventeen theme does the selector look like this instead?

I installed the Zoom lite theme and took a look at its code and I can see where it’s adding its own styles for the datepicker/timepicker inputs. I’m not sure why it’s adding those in the first place, but you can safely remove those for the Event Espresso editor page. You add this code to your website:

add_action( 
  'admin_print_styles-post-new.php', 
  'remove_zoom_admin_styles',
  12 
);
add_action( 
  'admin_print_styles-post.php', 
  'remove_zoom_admin_styles', 
  12 
);
function remove_zoom_admin_styles() {
  if ( !function_exists( 'get_current_screen' ) ) {
    return;
  }
  if( get_current_screen()->id == 'espresso_events' ) {
    wp_dequeue_style( 'ot-admin-css' );
  }
}

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file if you’re using a child theme.
