Strange behavior when entering the date

Hi support-team,

I observed the following behavior:

1) If I enter the dates via datapicker, the time will always change. For instance: I want to set beginning 10 am and ending 4 pm. When I set the beginning first, and then the ending, both times are changed automatically.
See the video:

2) Because the datapicker overlaps the input fields the time can’t be changed manuelly.

Is there any bugfix?

Thank you very much,
Daniela

Hi Daniela,

This very well could be the result of a plugin conflict where another plugin on your site is resetting the timezone. May I ask are there any other plugins activated on the site that work with dates and/or times?

Hi Josh,

yes it is Advanced Custom Fields Pro. What can I do, that event espresso will work correctly? I need Advanced Custom Fields Pro too?

Or is there any other possibility to add some more fields to the backend of an event?

Best regards,
Daniela

If I remember correctly, the issue you’re seeing only happens with the Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin and not with the free version. In either case you can contact Advanced Custom Fields for support, or check their support forums. There should be a way to dequeue or remove the ACF date picker script that’s overriding the EE date picker script on the edit event page.

Thank Josh for your hint. I contacted the ACF Pro Support and they send me a code snippet, which I add to the functions.php file:

add_filter('acf/settings/enqueue_datepicker', '__return_false');
