Change date and time structure for recurring events

[CTC]

Hello, I saw a question similar to this but I need a little more help in navigating the PHP. I have attached a couple of screenshots which highlight the areas I want to change.

I want to make a few changes to the display of recurring events.

1. I want to remove the ‘Recurring Event (See all)’ text on both the events list page and the individual page for that event.

2. In all instances where the date and time are listsed, I want to change the format of them from this:

May 2, 1:00pm – 5:00pm

To this:

May 2-6
1:00pm – 5:00pm

I’m getting used to work in PHP and love learning how it works. Can you let me know what steps need to be taken, and how I would do this by overriding the files in my child theme?

Thank you for your help and this great plugin!

Hi and welcome back to the forums,

I’m limited on the amount of support I’m able to provide here, but our Themer’s Guide goes into detail on how to create custom templates.

Our Technical Docs section also can help you narrow down specific information so you can apply your PHP changes accordingly.

I hope this information helps and best of luck with the customizations. Thanks for choosing PRO and enjoy the upcoming weekend!

OK, you can’t help me make this change because it is out of the scope of support you offer?

Either way, the function I need to change is this: tribe_events_event_schedule_details

It is located here: src/functions/template-tags/general.php

Where do I replicate ‘general.php’ in my child theme so I can edit it? Editing the function in ‘general.php’ is preferable to using a filter, as I don’t know how I would create a filter for this change.

Thank you,
Ben

Hey Ben,

That is correct, these types of customizations are outside the scope we’re able to provide. Overriding core files is never recommended, so you would have to make the changes to general.php and back up that file whenever an update is released.

Good luck with the customizing and thanks for understanding. Have a great week.
