Hi Brittany,

You would have had to overwrite them in two places (one place in email.php and the other in the ticketing add-on) for that to happen. I’ve seen this happen before where there was a plugin conflict that made it so the date shortcodes did not work. The other potential point of breakage is how the dates are getting stored in the database.

When you go in to edit an event is the start date data formatted as YYYY-MM-DD ?

Both shortcodes (email and tickets) call the function

event_date_display($data->attendee->start_date)

That function is in includes/functions/time_date.php starting on line 384. You can try uncommenting the debug line 388. If that doesn’t give you anything, I would insert a couple debug lines right above 390

$temp = strtotime($date);
var_dump($temp);
var_dump($format);

Hi,

Yes that is possible the function is “pluggable”, adding this to the custom_functions.php will allow you to modify it.

    function event_date_display($date, $format = '') {
        $format = $format == '' ? get_option('date_format') : $format;
        if (empty($date)) {
            $event_date_display = '';
            //echo '<span style="color:red;">'.__('NO DATE SUPPLIED','event_espresso').'</span>';
        } else {
            $event_date_display = date_i18n($format, strtotime($date)); //Fixed for international use
        }
        return $event_date_display;
    }
