Hi there,

Are there any custom templates for your single event page in your WordPress theme?

It will help to know the name of the theme, or where we can get a copy of the theme so we can rule out whether or not it’s a theme issue. The new version of Event Espresso 4 adds a feature where you can re-arrange the content of the single event page, but your theme (or another plugin) may not be ready for that.

If the event content loads correctly with single.php, you can add the custom date display to single.php and wrap the date display in a conditional check.

Like this:

<?php 
if ( 'espresso_events' == get_post_type() ) {
EE_Registry::instance()->load_helper('Event_View');
$event = EEH_Event_View::get_event();
$datetimes = $event->datetimes_ordered($show_expired = FALSE, $show_deleted = FALSE);
$datetime = reset($datetimes); ?>
<div class="date">
<span class="day"><?php $datetime->e_start_date('d'); ?>
</span>
<span class="month"><?php $datetime->e_start_date('M'); ?></span>
<span class="year"><?php $datetime->e_start_date('Y'); ?></span>
</div> 
<?php
} else {
?>
<div class="date">
<span class="day"><?php the_time("d") ?></span>
<span class="month"><?php the_time("M") ?></span>
<span class="year"><?php the_time("Y") ?></span>
</div> 
<?php }	

This way you do not have to maintain a separate template just to change the way the date is displayed.
