Hi,

Currently the date format is hard coded, but as of 4.6.0 the date format will follow WordPress date settings.

Yeah I understand and sorry about that. It was an oversight on our part, but as with everything it has to go into a set procedure for release, otherwise internally things will get messed up and potentially broken (we do a lot of commits!).

I can’t give an exact timescale as I am simply not sure. EE4.5.0 has to come out first, and that is hopefully going to be soon as it is in beta and has very few tickets left for it, so I would put 4.6.0 into the weeks stage at a minimum.

Looking at the code for 4.6.0 there will also be some filters available to swap the date format in the widget should you need it to be different to the rest of the date formats.

Hi,

The only way I can see is via a core hack.

/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg_448/widgets/upcoming_events/EEW_Upcoming_Events.widget.php

line 290 should say

´echo espresso_list_of_event_dates( $event->ID(), ‘D M jS, Y’, ‘g:i a’, FALSE, NULL, TRUE, TRUE );´

The ‘D M jS, Y’ (date) and the ‘g:i a’ (time) need to be changed to the correct date formats

So for 24 hour clock style, the time would become:

‘H:i’
