So I’m trying to echo the start date similar to how it was suggested in this past forum post (except I’m using EE4).

https://eventespresso.com/topic/how-do-i-echo-out-the-start-date-time-end-date-time/

I’m trying to add a section on my homepage that list the most recent upcoming event. I’m able to get the title and description displayed fine but cannot figure out how to get the date to display. Everytime I use the “event_date_display” it crashed my page.

Here is the code that is working with just title and description but without the date:

What should I be doing?

Sorry the code didn’t transfer correctly. If I need to resubmit the code let me know.

Hi,

Within the if ( $event instanceof EE_Event ) {

you can do:

$primary_datetime = clone $event->primary_datetime();
if($primary_datetime instanceof EE_Datetime) {
 echo $primary_datetime->start_date();
}

FYI the reason your site crashed when you tried event_date_display() is because that’s an Event Espresso 3 function and isn’t provided in Event Espresso 4.
